Today is the Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran, the Roman Archbasilica Cathedral of the Most Holy Savior and Saints John the Baptist and the Evangelist in Lateran, Mother and Head of All Churches in Rome and in the World.
In Argentina, Pope Leo XIV defends the Church’s mission to convert people by going into the world to proclaim the Good News:
“‘Welcome everyone’, expresses, in a few words, the universal invitation of the Gospel, which reaches every person and calls them to an encounter with Christ and to conversion.
This welcome also gives rise to the church's mission: “Go into all the world and proclaim the Good News.”
Obedience to that command continues to bear fruit in schools and universities, in social initiatives, and in the Daily Witness of all those men and women, who place their faith at the service of others.”
In Argentina, Pope Leo XIV says AI “requires an ethical consciousness, that is equal to its challenges”:
“Rapid technological advances, in turn, are opening up possibilities that were barely imaginable just a few years ago.
They are also raising far reaching questions, especially with regard to artificial intelligence, medicine, education, production, and research now have tools capable of profoundly transforming human life.
These advances call for a careful consideration of the consequences of their application and the responsibilities of those who decide how to use them. Technological development requires an ethical consciousness, that is equal to its challenges.
Many of these responsibilities extend beyond the boundaries of any single state. Great rivers unite territories, ecosystems stretch from one country to another. Energy, food, knowledge, and human mobility, create bonds that transcend borders.”
