“The relationship between the Catholic Church and art has not only been fruitful: it has been decisive.

We are not afraid to say that the Church has been the greatest producer of art in the history of humanity.”

So said Puss in Boots from Shrek to the Pope. And he’s right ofc

[Paulina Guzik @Guzik_Paulina]

Antonio Banderas, representing the world
of culture, was on cloud nine to chat with Pope Leo after his speech.

To the applause of the packed giant sports and event arena in Madrid, Banderas affirmed:

„The relationship between the Catholic Church and art has not only been fruitful: it has been decisive.”

„We are not afraid to say that the Church has been the greatest producer of art in the history of humanity.”

„At the heart of this creative impulse is the one who transcends centuries, styles, and cultures, and who has certainly been the most represented figure in the history of art: Jesus Christ,” Banderas said tonight.

In a meeting that seeks to answer what does it mean to the world today to „Lift up your eyes” - the theme of the trip to Spain, Banderas said that „Art must be an alternative to all forms of violence.”

„Just as Christ himself did, the artist must act with courage and not abandon being a critical voice to society, to art itself, and to religion itself.”

Thinking back to when 1 million people turned out to see Pope Francis celebrate Mass on a highway in Philadelphia

The Monaco plane banner really out here flying on a beautiful (Sunday!) morning - what an unsightly blemish on this clear, crystal blue sky!

Is it too far fetched to say that a mere LEGO set has the potential to evangelize millions

[PenPlays @PenPlays_]

Mind boggling that this is the interior of an actual LEGO set

[cake🇻🇦🇺🇸🕊️ @vbronjames]

I guess you could say the Church is tasked with identifying humanity’s “Golden Path”

Finally finished reading the encyclical!

Judging from the number of screenshots I took and highlights made I have to say…His Holiness cooked with this one

“Like nuclear energy, AI must be at the service of all and of the common good. Decisions about technology must never be separated from conscience and responsibility.”

I agree with this sentiment by @Pontifex. The Vatican and other global institutions can and must play a role in the global dialogue on AI to raise public awareness and mobilize society for the challenges ahead.

The Papal Encylical is deeply literate per @Havelock_AI

@tunguz Chapters 3 and 4 are actually great - and I’m only halfway through thus far

[Samo Burja @SamoBurja]

It is notable how the Pope is the only religious authority in the world that wields intellectual authority even among secular people.

No one secular cares what the Bishop of Canterbury or the Grand Ayatollah have to say.

Just going through the first few paragraphs of this, I kind of saw the Tower of Babel analogy coming, but was struck by the parallel the Pope illustrates shortly after on the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem from the Book of Nehemiah

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

Yes, yes, very monastic and privileged of you to find God in the silence, but can you find Him in the horrid deafening cacophony?

[cake🇻🇦🇺🇸🕊️ @vbronjames]

“the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological” BARS

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.
