Ten Oddities from Leo XIV’s Encyclical on AI

1. Leo XIV explicitly or humorously said that the single language before the tower of Babel was a lack of diversity. §10: “Let us avoid the ‘Babel syndrome’ … the uniformity that levels differences; the claim of a single — even digital — language…”
2. From the 224 footnotes, Pope Francis is cited 55 times.
3. At the press conference, Pope Leo XIV said that the Church and the US tech company ‘Anthropic’, will walk together to "find the way for humanity."
4. The encyclical includes lots of personalist philosophy, including the erroneous idea of an “infinite” dignity of the person and “total gift of self.”
5. The first third of the document is primarily a theological and social-philosophical framework. The encyclical only becomes focused on technology and AI around §90 of the total 226 paragraphs.
6. Leo XIV's summary of past Catholic Social Teaching includes economic and political documents but ignores marriage and family.
7. Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,... are framed as religions …зиёдтар

"...'infinite' dignity of the person..." How can the term "infinite" be attributed to anything human? And do the souls in Hell still have infinite dignity, whatever good it would do them there?

Leo XIV Calls for More Power to the UN Because of AI

The first papal encyclical on artificial intelligence, Magnifica Humanitas (May 15, 38,000 words), contains lots of truisms but also a bit of everything and nothing.
The central contradiction of Magnifica Humanitas is that it condemns centralized technological power and “Babel-like” global systems, while simultaneously demanding supranational governing structures to regulate AI worldwide.
In the encyclical, "Babel" becomes a symbol of a civilization built on centralized power, uniformity, and human self-sufficiency.
§5 warns that private, often transnational actors possess “resources and capabilities superior to those of many governments,” giving them “impressive power over all of humanity.”
However, the proposed solution is stronger international coordination and global governance of AI.
The encyclical calls for an “international order” (§33), “universal fraternity” (§44), and globally shared moral principles for governing AI.
§64 calls for “more effective forms of cooperation …зиёдтар

Leo XIV’s Encyclical Is NOT Against AI

Pope Leo XIV is ultimately not against AI but aims to guide it toward the common good, writes Nico Spuntoni on LaNuovaBq.it (May 24).
He has seen a preview of the encyclical ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ that will be published tomorrow.
Leo XIV writes about a crossroads between self-sufficiency and solidarity. The pious-sounding solution Leo XIV offers to avert dehumanization through AI is "the mystery of the Incarnation".
As did Leo XIII facing the social question of the 19th century, Leo XIV believes to offer an answer “to another industrial revolution and the developments in artificial intelligence, which pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity, justice, and work.”
Leo XIV talks consistently with the overused word “discernment” to guide the actions in an age of widespread familiarity with artificial intelligence.
The encyclical warns of danger of humanity gaining excessive power over itself and against moral irresponsibility resulting from overreliance on artificial intelligence. …зиёдтар

Memorial Day in America 2026: what do we remember?

Today the United States celebrates Memorial Day. It's a federal holiday to remember and honour those who died serving in the United States Armed Forces.
Watch below the video compilation of American President Ronald Reagan's Memorial Day speeches. He gives a number sober reflections about those who have lost their lives serving their country. Reagan also argues about the importance of working for peace and defending freedom.
Can we the say the same thing about the American soldiers who have died most recently fighting in the war against Iran? And with so many other post-modern wars such as Afghanistan and Iraq? Were they fought for freedom, justice and democracy? Is there really a just war in this age nuclear bombs and technological weaponry?
Can you even imagine President Donald Trump saying anything as patriotic and honest as what Regan said in the past? We know that the past was never perfect, but it's worth comparing the past to the present in order to try and avoid mistakes and aim …

Leo XIV Goes to the Canary Islands as Francis Went to Lampedusa

“Thanks to Francis, the discourse on migration is now established,” the pro-homosexual Madrid Cardinal José Cobo told ReligionDigital.org (May 23).
He asks the rhetorical question why Leo XIV is going to the Canary Islands. His answer: “For the same reason Francis went to Lesbos or Lampedusa.”
One of Cardinal Cobo’s most troubling ideas is his desire to “redefine” human dignity according to “the criteria of our time.”

@ frawley....
In 3 Gospels the disciples rejected children and babies, and Jesus is indignant. This tendency remains today.
Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when
the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does
not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
Luke 18:15–17
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and
pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs
the kingdom of heaven.” And he laid his hands on them and went away.

Leo XIV Lied to the Coptic Orthodox: "No Homosexual Blessings"

On 22 May, the synod of the schismatic Coptic Orthodox group in Egypt decided to resume theological dialogue with the Church. This followed a telephone conversation on 15 May between Leo XIV and the Coptic leader, Tawadros II.
During this call, Leo XIV told Tawadros II that homosexual couples would not be blessed in the Church.
However, this claim was just words because there is lots of photographic evidence of homosexual "blessings" being performed in the Catholic Church. Tawadros II is aware of this.
The Copts broke off ecumenical dialogue after Francis approved the homosexual pamphlet 'Fiducia Supplicans', which is still in place and being implemented by the Church.
If words do not match reality, this is commonly called a lie.

Het grootste probleem in de Rooms Katholieke kerk is het grote aantal kardinalen, bischoppen en priesters die praktiserend homoseksueel zijn.
Praktiserende homoseksuele kardinalen, bisschoppen en priesters moeten worden ontslagen omdat zij niet meer in staat zijn de bocht te horen. Hoe kunnen deze kardinalen, bisschoppen en priesters demonen vergeven van een huisvader die vreemd gaat, terwijl zij zelf ook in zonde leven.

People are beginning to understand that those who rule in their name have long been working to eliminate the nation-state.
The United Nations is not neutral ground for national governments to discuss their differences; it is a governmental construct meant to replace national governments. The World Health Organization is not an international body meant to coordinate complex responses to global health emergencies; it is an institution vested with vast power and authority to track and regulate every human on the planet. The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank Group, and the International Monetary Fund don’t exist to expand free trade, open markets, and assist developing nations; they exist to centralize control over all economic transactions in the world.

Vienna Archbishop Confirms Retirement for Rector of St Stephen's Cathedral

Pro-homosexual Archbishop Josef Grünwidl of Vienna - one of the many questionable appointments by Leo XIV - has confirmed that the controversial rector of St. Stephen's Cathedral, Rev Toni Faber, 64, will retire.
The cathedral will receive new leadership in summer 2027.
Society priest Faber has attended public dance festivals with a woman for years and has questioned celibacy. He has also supported same-sex blessings.
In an interview with Austrian state radio ORF on Saturday, Archbishop Grünwidl claimed that his decision was mainly due to Rector Faber's long tenure.
Archbishop Grünwidl noted that no one in the history of the Cathedral has held the post of rector for 30 years, describing Faber’s tenure as “a record”.
However, the archbishop stressed that this does not mean that Rev. Faber will withdraw completely from pastoral work or leave St. Stephen’s Square.
The Archbishop even praised Rev. Faber’s decades of service and emphasised their close personal relationship. “We were …зиёдтар

$1.8 billion. That’s $1.8 billion of your tax dollars potentially going into a slush fund to reward President Trump’s loyalists. “Designed to provide payments to Americans who claim to be victims of what he describes as government weaponization.” In one-dollar bills, that would stack more than 100 miles. And if it were split evenly among the Jan. 6 rioters, each one would receive more than $1 million.
