Pope to Lutherans: “Christ must not become a ‘ foreign word’ in our world. Our world needs ecumenical witnesses to Christ who make him known through their lives and actions, for Christ alone is the living source capable of fulfilling humanity’s deepest longings.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Pope Leo: “Rather than treating every used object as mere waste, we need to change our behavior and commit ourselves to taking a different path. Essentially, this means moving beyond the consumerist model and toward a production system capable of preserving the limited resources of our planet.”

Pope Leo: “To be silent is an act of the will, which involves the whole person and helps one to live solid relationships. It means creating spaces of freedom and truth, in which to safeguard attention, becoming sensitive to the voice of those who ‘do not count’” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

The SCOTUS ruling in favor of resuming deportations of migrants to unknown countries is an abomination. As Pope Francis often said: “Migrants are not pawns of the chessboard of humanity; they are people with stories who deserve our love and care.”

Pope Leo says alarm over AI is not 'fake news,' but remains optimistic

Pope waded into the red-hot debate over regulation of artificial intelligence on Monday, stating that the concerns expressed by tech industry leaders over the catastrophic risks to humanity posed by the technology are not "fake news" and "should be taken seriously." www.ncronline.org/vatican/pope...

Pope in Metz: “It is not true that those who seek revenge are stronger than those who forgive. It is not true that those who refuse to yield are stronger than those who seek reconciliation. It is not true that those who walk away are stronger than those who face the challenge of walking together.”

1437

The Pope in Metz: “Today, relations between individuals and States are becoming increasingly uncivilized. The value of keeping one’s word is dismissed; instead, people boast of lies and deceit. “

Pope in Metz: “Promoting peace is an active endeavor. Today, we must ask ourselves whether we are truly making creative efforts to promote world peace, or whether we are simply trying to ‘stem the hemorrhage of war’ and better prepare ourselves for those that we presume must still come.”

Pope at Inter-religious Meeting in Metz: “Indeed, to invoke God’s name in order to justify violence or oppression is to profane that name. Nothing that disfigures human dignity can claim to be inspired by God. Religious discourse must constantly call for the disarmament of hearts and words.”

The US Church needs to be cautious so as not to ascribe American exceptionalism to the Pope. When Leo was asked about being the first pontiff from the US, he replied quickly: “I am the Pope, who happens to be an American.” Leo is the Pope for the global Church, not just the US.

The children on the border are speaking. Are we listening?

Seitz: “The border sets before us a different test. Here the claim is made in words we can hear, and silence can no longer be an excuse. The children are speaking. The Pope is asking whether the church will listen, and whether we will let what we hear change us.” www.ncronline.org/opinion/gues...

When Jesus says, "Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them," he attaches no condition. He does not add "unless their parents are undocumented," or "provided they were born to citizens."

Cardinal McElroy at Mass for World Day of Migrants and Refugees: “Most deeply, we remember the undocumented, whose time on the cross stretches onward. They know the peril, the fear, the overwhelming sadness that dawns upon them because of the policies of our government.”

Pope Leo at Accueil Notre Dame Center for the Sick: “I know that for some of you, because of particular illnesses and, at times, terrible pain, your horizon may appear dark, uncertain and without hope. But no human law should ever make you lose the certainty of your dignity. “

The Pope: “Here, no one is turned away due to their frailty. Your crutches, your wheelchairs and your hidden tears are not obstacles; instead, they are the very place where you are fully respected and welcomed, and where you can experience a transforming encounter with the infinite love of God.”

Cardinal McElroy calls for new social contract to deal with AI

Cardinal McElroy in talk today: Technologies and Companies “frequently suffer from the blinders of the technocratic paradigm which assumes all problems created by science and innovation can be fixed by science and innovation." www.ncronline.org/opinion/card...

The "church seeks to be a vital part" of the dialogue on artificial intelligence "so that the benefits of the digital age will be sustained and enhanced and the dangers minimized," the cardinal said.

Pope Leo to catechumens and newly baptized: “It may seem paradoxical that this phenomenon, in which so many people are rediscovering the Gospel and embracing the faith, is taking place against the backdrop of a society like that of France, which is marked by a deeply secularized culture.”

1121

Pope at migrant center in Paris: “When we look closely, the history of the Church and of humanity is not written by those who give the impression of winning by imposing themselves and ‘dominating the room,’ but by those who ‘make room,’ initiate processes of peace, build trust and encourage life.”

2449

Pope to Youth: “The principles of equality and fraternity are more than legal prescriptions, they are the radical and courageous choices of a free heart. Making these principles our own is not merely a moral commitment; it is choosing to become authentic men and women, free from every compromise.”

1415

In Notre Dame, Leo addresses liturgical disputes: “….place communion with the successor of Peter and with the Church before your personal preferences, so as to foster the unity of God’s people. Thus, together, we will bear prophetic witness to the possibility of a reconciled world.”

2272

Pope Leo in Paris: “Liberty, equality and fraternity are not simply words emblazoned on the front of your public buildings; they refer to universal ethical imperatives that also find in the Gospel message an inexhaustible source of inspiration and fulfillment.”
