Pope Leo XIV calls this a challenge to ‘human dignity’ in first address to cardinals
In his first official remarks as pope, Leo XIV delivered a powerful message to the College of Cardinals on Saturday, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) presents serious new risks to human dignity. He called on the Catholic Church to step up and respond to these challenges with moral clarity and bold action.
Speaking at the New Synod Hall, the Pope said the Catholic Church has faced similar moments before.
He compared today’s rapid AI technological change to the upheaval of the 19th century industrial revolution, saying the Church must again defend workers and promote justice.
«Pope Leo XIII, with the historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum, addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution,» Pope Leo XIV said. «Today, the Church offers to all her treasure of social teaching in response to another industrial revolution and the developments of artificial intelligence.»

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, is the first American to be elected pope.
A former missionary and head of the Dicastery for Bishops, he speaks English, Spanish and Italian and was widely seen as a unifying choice after the death of Pope Francis. His decision to take the name «Leo» connects his mission with Pope Leo XIII’s focus on social justice.
Under Pope Francis, the Vatican greatly expanded its digital outreach. It restructured its media operations, launched popular social media efforts and introduced ethical guidelines for AI. The «Rome Call for AI Ethics» is a joint initiative between the Church and tech leaders promoting transparency in AI development.
Pope Leo XIV made clear that he would continue this work. In his speech, he described AI as a powerful force that could reshape labor, society and even how we see ourselves. He emphasized that people, not profit, must remain at the center.

«These are Gospel principles through which the merciful face of the Father has been revealed and continues to be revealed in the Son made man,» he said. «Let us take up this precious legacy and continue on the journey, inspired by the same hope that is born of faith.»
He also urged Catholics to stay grounded in quiet prayer and discernment in a noisy digital world. He quoted Scripture to say that God is often heard not in thunder or spectacle, but in «the whisper of a gentle breeze» or «the sound of sheer silence.»
The Pope also reflected on the recent death of Pope Francis. He called the moment both sorrowful and filled with God’s grace. He described the transition to a new pope as a «paschal event,» a kind of spiritual turning point, and thanked his predecessor for his life of service.

«I would like us to renew together today our complete commitment to the path that the universal Church has now followed for decades in the wake of the Second Vatican Council,» he said. He also encouraged more listening, dialogue and care for the poor.

Top Trump agency torches Dem lawmakers rallying around detained Abrego Garcia: ‘It is insane’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security is unleashing on Democrats who have condemned the move by ICE to detain Kilmar Abrego Garcia and deport him to Uganda.
Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran national who was arrested by ICE on Monday at his check-in at the agency’s office in Baltimore, Maryland, and he’s expected to be deported to a third-party country, likely Uganda.
«Kilmar Abrego Garcia is not and will never be a Maryland Man—he is a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador and public safety threat,» a senior DHS Official told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement.

«It is insane that sanctuary politicians chose to glorify and stand with an MS-13 gang member over the safety of American citizens. President Trump and Secretary Noem are not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator, to terrorize American citizens any longer.»
Earlier this year, Abrego Garica was first deported to El Salvador for being a suspected gang member, which caused a nationwide controversy that sparked visits to the Central American country, including by Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Maryland. However, he ended up later facing charges in the U.S. for alleged human smuggling after a 2022 Tennessee traffic stop resurfaced.
Last week, Abrego Garcia made his way back to Maryland from Tennessee, and a U.S. Magistrate Judge ordered that if he was taken into ICE custody that he would need to have «access to his attorneys» in order to «prepare for trial in this case.» His brief freedom was slammed as the result of «publicity hungry Maryland judge» by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

«ICE is holding Kilmar Ábrego García and refusing to answer questions from his lawyers — while the Trump Admin continues to spread lies about his case. Instead of spewing unproven allegations on social media, they need to put up or shut up IN COURT. Mr. Ábrego García must be allowed to defend himself,» Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-M.D., posted on Monday.
«The Trump admin wrongly sent Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a horrific El Salvadoran prison. Now, just days after he was reunited with his family, they’re trying to deny him his rights and deport him to Uganda. Kilmar—like everyone—deserves a fair hearing to defend himself,» Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., posted.

«Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice,» Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, wrote.

His detention in Maryland is likely to be scrutinized by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, who intensely questioned Trump officials for details over his removal and his current legal status.

Netanyahu announces investigation into ‘tragic mishap’ after reports of journalists killed in Gaza strike
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that an investigation is underway after reports said Israel struck a hospital in the southern Gaza Strip, killing at least 20 people on Monday, according to reports.
Netanyahu said Israel regretted the deadly incident and reiterated that Israel does not intentionally target civilians in its war with Hamas. Reports said among the dead were five journalists who worked for outlets such as Reuters, The Associated Press, and Al Jazeera.
«Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today at the Nasser Hospital in Gaza,» Netanyahu’s office said in a statement.
«Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff and all civilians. The military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation. Our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home.»

Reports, citing medical officials, said two shells hit Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis in quick succession. Israeli media reported that Israeli troops had fired the artillery rounds at the hospital to target a Hamas surveillance camera on the roof.
Cameraman Hussam al-Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed near a live broadcasting position on an upper floor just below the roof in the first strike, Palestinian health officials said.
Israel then struck the site again, killing additional journalists as well as rescue workers and medics who had rushed in to help, hospital officials and witnesses told Reuters.
IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin echoed Netanyahu’s comments, stressing that the military makes every effort to mitigate civilian harm while ensuring troop safety.
«We are operating in an extremely complex reality. Hamas terrorists deliberately use civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, as shields,» Defrin said in a video posted to social media. «They have even operated from the Nasser Hospital itself. Hamas began this war, created impossible fighting conditions and is preventing its end by still holding 50 of our hostages.»

Defrin said Israel will abide by international obligations and «investigate the deadly incident thoroughly and professionally.»
«Reporting from an active war zone carries immense risk, especially in a war with a terrorist organization such as Hamas, who cynically hides behind the civilian population,» he added.
The other journalists killed were identified as Mariam Abu Dagga, who freelanced for the Associated Press and other outlets; Mohammed Salama, who worked for Al Jazeera; Moaz Abu Taha, a freelancer who contributed to several news organizations, including Reuters; and Ahmed Abu Aziz.
