This Pope is too funny man. To better fit in the frame with the college basketball players, Leo XIV jumps onto the platform to be taller 😂

The future of #ArtificialIntelligence is not pre-determined. As a technology developed by human beings, its future depends on the choices we make. We therefore have the responsibility to guide, change and, when necessary, reject its applications. A reliable system that serves the human person is of greater value than one that is exceptionally powerful but whose consequences cannot be adequately foreseen or controlled.

"We're very excited, we're very proud of him." @brookechesney talked with the Dominican Sisters who spent time teaching Jared Goff at Marin Catholic High School.

This past July, I began my new ministry as an Army Catholic Chaplain assigned to Arlington National Cemetery. It has been a tremendous honor to lay our nation's heroes to rest. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.

I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

Pope Leo XIV celebrated Mass at noon on Friday in the room set up on the 10th floor of Gemelli Hospital, according to the Holy See Press Office. Several members of Gemelli's medical and nursing staff attended the Mass, along with members of the Vatican City State Gendarmerie Corps. "In his homily, the Pope thanked all the staff—doctors, nurses, and orderlies—for the work they do every day caring for patients in their frailty, and especially for what they have done and continue to do for him," read the statement.

Please pray for our Holy Father. 🙏
Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience

Sincerity & earnestness are two qualities that have all but vanished from modern media, and it's genuinely refreshing to have a popular franchise (Ace Combat) that consistently embraces both of these -- cheesy dialogue and all. Plus, the gameplay and music are simply top-notch.
Ace Combat is pure hopecore. It's so damn earnest it might as well be Kingdom Hearts. It requires legitimate going all in on to accept. You either vibe with it or you don't and the people who do REALLY do.

There exists a martyrdom of those who offer their lives in a single moment, and the more hidden martyrdom of those who give their lives day after day. This is exactly what all Christians are called to do: to give our lives with love, every day.

quick warm up of this based pope
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
