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, 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 of …Көбірек

FULL DOCUMENTARY: Once Was Lost — The 70-Year Search for Chaplain Emil Kapaun
Father Emil Kapaun, of Pilsen, Kansas, died in a North Korean POW camp in 1951. Since then, he's received the Medal of Honor and is a candidate for sainthood. It was thought his remains were lost forever until March 2021, when the Army made a stunning announcement. A documentary on how Father Kapaun, a war hero being considered for sainthood, was found after 70 years.

I think that anyone who reads the documented stories told by the soldiers who knew him, and suffered at the hands of the Communists with him, simply falls in love with Venerable Father Kapaun, the shepherd in combat boots and the good thief who prayed to St Dismas every time he risked his life to steal food for the imprisoned soldiers.

Husband of Former Scottish PM Sturgeon Pleads Guilty to Embezzling Over $540,000 in Party Funds – Peter Murrell in Custody Pending Sentencing

Former Scottish PM Nicola Sturgeon and Peter Murrell in happier days – Wiki Commons
The former chief executive of SNP used stolen funds to finance his luxurious lifestyle.
Another ‘progressive’ politician has been shown to be pocketing money to advance himself.
The husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pleaded guilty today (25) to embezzling more than half a million dollars (400,000 pounds) from the Scottish National Party.
Associated Press reported:
“Peter Murrell, 61, who was remanded into custody in the High Court in Edinburgh after his plea, admitted using party funds to buy a high-priced motorhome, two cars, including a Jaguar, and luxury goods, including Bremont watches and household items that included two toilet seats.
‘By embezzling from the SNP, Peter Murrell was stealing the hopes, the dreams and the aspirations of thousands of people all over Scotland, people who gave what they could over many years in the hope that it would help contribute to a better …

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 …Көбірек

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. …Көбірек

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models. What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation …Көбірек

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.”

Carlos Sheinbaum Yoselevitz was born on 25 February 1933 in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, the son of Emma Yoselevitz and Chone Juan Sheinbaum Abramovitz. His parents were Ashkenazi Jews originally from Lithuania. His father had immigrated to Mexico in 1928.
Carlos Sheinbaum Yoselevitz - Wikipedia
The name Ashkenazi derives from the biblical figure of Ashkenaz, the first son of Gomer, son of Japhet, son of Noah, and a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations. The name of Gomer has often been linked to the Cimmerians.

V.R.S.

Rather endorsing false idols:
"In rejecting the mindset of violence, interreligious dialogue plays a decisive role, because at the heart of the great spiritual paths lies a message of peace. Whereas those who use the name of God to legitimize terrorism, violence or war betray his true nature, for to fight in the name of religion means attacking religion itself. The “spirit of Assisi,” evoked by Saint John Paul II and carried forward by Pope Francis — for example, through his dialogue with the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar — shows that believers can draw upon the most authentic sources of their particular spiritual traditions, where there is no room for “sanctified hatred.” (MH 223)

Magnifica Humanitas: a faithful responds

Today Pope Leo XIV released his encyclical letter, Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence." Some of the issues the document addresses are Artificial Intelligence, tranhumanism and human dignity in an age of materialism, social media and technology.
We got an email message from a friend about the new papal encyclical and with his permission we post it.
I was diving deep into Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. It's all about how the Church views artificial intelligence and the digital age, and I thought you might find it interesting. The original document is a bit long, so I made a quick breakdown of what it covers for you to read quickly if you're interested:
Big Tech
The Pope first points out that unlike older industrial shifts driven by governments, AI is mostly controlled by massive private tech companies, making regulation for the common good much harder. He notes that AI is already altering decisions that shape …

Way, Style, Approach

by Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira
– Folha de S. Paulo, January 18, 1980 –
Inconsistency is the conflict between truth and error within the same mindset or text. Or, even worse, it’s the conflict among multiple errors.
I start with this useful and healthy truth, as it is always good to call out incoherence wherever it appears. For example, in the democratic experiment Brazil is carrying out.
Such an experiment will only be genuine if the democracy tested is itself genuine.
That said, the media carry significant responsibilities in this era of partisan shifts. Their role is even greater than that of politicians. The influence politicians have on public opinion largely depends on how much notoriety the media choose to give them.
If politicians want to preserve their prestige, they must consistently say what the Fourth Estate — meaning newspapers, TV, and radio — want them to say. In summary, the Fourth Estate has a policy that guides politicians’ actions.

UN Experts Ask for Prosecution of P*rn Platform - C-Fam

WASHINGTON, D.C. May 22 (C-Fam) Two UN human rights experts are raising the alarm about how pornography sites, technology platforms, and payment networks are causing the exploitation of women and girls.
Reem Alsalem, the Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, and Ana Brian Nougrères, the Special Rapporteur on the right to privacy, issued a joint
press release criticizing businesses that profit from sexual exploitation and the governments that allow them to operate unchecked.
“Systems that facilitate and profit from the sexual exploitation of women and girls cannot merely be regulated at the margins; they must be fundamentally confronted,” they said. “A red line must be drawn.”
Their particular focus was on the Canadian company, Aylo Holdings, previously known as MindGeek, which operates multiple popular pornography sites, including Pornhub. They highlighted two cases of women in the U.S. who had suffered sexual abuse, including grooming and date rape, and whose …

"89. To this command all the obedient and holy angels, submitted themselves and they gave their full assent and acknowledgment with an humble and loving subjection of the will. But Lucifer, full of envy and pride, resisted and induced his followers to resist likewise, as they in reality did, preferring to follow him and disobey the divine command. This wicked prince persuaded them, that he would be their chief and that he would set up a government independent and separate from Christ. So great was the blindness which envy and pride could cause in an angel, and so pernicious was the infection that the contagion of sin spread among innumerable other angels."

87. It is proper, that I also explain what was made known to me concerning the kind of honor and excellence, which Lucifer aspired to and envied. As in the works of God there is measure, number and weight (Wis. 11, 21), his Providence decided to show to the angels, immediately after their creation and before they could incline to diverse ends, the purpose for which He had created them with such an exalted and perfect nature. Of all this I obtained the following information: At first they received a more explicit intelligence of the being of God, one in substance, trine in person, and that they were commanded to adore and reverence Him as their Creator and highest Lord, infinite in his essence and attributes. All subjected themselves to this command and obeyed it, but with a certain difference; the good angels obeyed through love and on account of the justice of …Көбірек

Turning against the Author of these great wonders in unbridled indignation and calling upon the other angels, he exhorted them, saying: “Unjust are these commands and injury is done to my greatness; this human nature which Thou, Lord, lookest upon with so much love and which thou favorest so highly, I will persecute and destroy. To this end I will direct all my power and all my aspirations. And this Woman, Mother of the Word, I will hurl from the position in which Thou hast proposed to place Her, and at my hands, the plan, which Thou settest up, shall come to naught.”
