Speaker 1: Pope Leo the fourteenth has said that he chose the
Speaker 1: name Leo the fourteenth because late Pope Leo the thirteenth
Speaker 1: made a great impact in the First Industrial Revolution during
Speaker 1: his time, adding that the current industrial revolution of artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence AI that posed a new challenge to the defense
Speaker 1: of human dignity, justice and labor warrant the Church to
Speaker 1: offer her social teachings in response to the AI industrial
Speaker 1: development threat. This as it could be recalled, that wild
Speaker 1: billions of people across the globe awaited the election of
Speaker 1: the new Pope. An AI generated photo of Donald Trump
Speaker 1: dressed and seated as the new Pope was posted on
Speaker 1: social media through the verified account of President Donald Trump
Speaker 1: on Truth social media platform, with President Donald Trump later
Speaker 1: on Monday dismissing the backlash against the AI generated image
Speaker 1: of him as the Pope posted by the White House
Speaker 1: on social media, saying it was a harmless joke, but
Speaker 1: communications experts, as reported by Reuters, said they did not
Speaker 1: see the funny side of the preceding weekend day high
Speaker 1: generated posts of Trump dressed in white papal vestments and
Speaker 1: another of him wielding one of the red lightsabers preferred
Speaker 1: by villains in the Star Wars movies. Details of Pope
Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth statement as presented by the Vatican News
Speaker 1: Media reads verbatim below. In his first address to the
Speaker 1: College of Cardinals, Pope Leo the fourteenth invokes the legacy
Speaker 1: of both Pope Francis and Pope Leo the thirteenth, saying
Speaker 1: that he wants the Church to respond to a new
Speaker 1: industrial revolution and to the development of artificial intelligence. Pope
Speaker 1: Leo the fourteenth has revealed the inspiration behind the name
Speaker 1: he chose, one which, in his own words, echoes the
Speaker 1: Church's enduring commitment to human dignity and social justice. Pope
Speaker 1: Leo the thirteenth, with the historic encyclical rerun Novarum, address
Speaker 1: the social question in the context of the first Great
Speaker 1: Industrial Revolution. Pope Leo recalled to day the Church offers
Speaker 1: to all her treasure of social teaching in response to
Speaker 1: another industrial revolution and the developments of artificial intelligence. A
Speaker 1: name then not only rooted in tradition, but one that
Speaker 1: looks firmly ahead to the challenges of a rapidly changing
Speaker 1: world and the perennial call to protect those most vulnerable
Speaker 1: within it. Addressing the cardinals whom he called the closest
Speaker 1: collaborators of the Pope. On Saturday, Pope Leo the fourteenth
Speaker 1: delivered his first official address as the successor of Peter,
Speaker 1: expressing heartfelt gratitude and an awareness of the immense responsibility
Speaker 1: now entrusted to him. This yoke, he said, is clearly
Speaker 1: far beyond my strength, as it would be for any one.
Speaker 1: Pope Leo noted that the days that preceded his election
Speaker 1: had been marked by mourning as the church bid farewell
Speaker 1: to Pope Francis. Recognizing the emotional weight of that farewell,
Speaker 1: the Pope described the death of the beloved Pope Francis
Speaker 1: and the subsequent conclavors a pass the event, one enveloped
Speaker 1: in the light of the resurrection. The new Bishop of
Speaker 1: Rome paid tribute to his predecessor, remembering Pope Francis's simplicity,
Speaker 1: his radical dedication to service, and his peaceful return to
Speaker 1: the Father's house. Let us treasure this precious legacy and
Speaker 1: resume our journey, he said, animated by the same hope
Speaker 1: that comes from faith. The Holy Father reminded those gathered
Speaker 1: of the quiet yet powerful presence of the risen Christ.
Speaker 1: Not in the roar of thunder and earthquake, but in
Speaker 1: the whisper of a gentle breeze. It is in this stillness,
Speaker 1: he said, that we encounter God most intimately, and it
Speaker 1: is this encounter that must guide the Church in her
Speaker 1: mission to day. Pope Leo then went on to speak
Speaker 1: of the Church as both woo and flock, as field
Speaker 1: and temple, and he praised the unity shown by the
Speaker 1: faithful in the days of mourning, describing it as having
Speaker 1: revealed the true greatness of the Church. Looking ahead to
Speaker 1: the future, Pope Leo the fourteenth reiterated the path set
Speaker 1: in motion by the Second Vatican Council, a path renewed
Speaker 1: and reinterpreted under Pope Francis. He highlighted key themes from
Speaker 1: Pope Francis's apostolic exhortation Evangelie Gordium, the primacy of Christ, sinnidelity,
Speaker 1: the census Fiday, the supernatural sense of the faithful, popular piety,
Speaker 1: care for the poor, and courageous engagement with the world.
Speaker 1: These are Gospel principles through which the merciful face of
Speaker 1: the Father has been revealed and continues to be revealed
Speaker 1: in the Son made man, said Pope Leo, bringing his
Speaker 1: discourse to a close. Pope Leo the fourteenth called his
Speaker 1: brother cardinals and the wider church to continue along this
Speaker 1: path with prayer and commitment. Finally, he quoted Saint Paul
Speaker 1: the sixth at the dawn of his own pontificate, praying
Speaker 1: that a great flame of faith and love may once
Speaker 1: again spread across the world, lighting the way for all
Speaker 1: people of good will. We had reported that Pope Leo
Speaker 1: the fourteenth, the new head of the Catholic Church and
Speaker 1: the first ever pope from the United States US and
Speaker 1: North America continent and the second from the two America continents,
Speaker 1: has said that there are many settings or places in
Speaker 1: the world people considered the Christian faith to be only
Speaker 1: for the week, calling on people to cultivate a better
Speaker 1: personal relationship with Christ, saying without faith, life is meaningless.
Speaker 1: The new Pope, who had been ardent opposition to the
Speaker 1: policies of the new U S President Donald Trump, stated
Speaker 1: this of his first Mass, held shortly after he was
Speaker 1: elected as the new head of the Christian Faith to
Speaker 1: lead more than one billion Catholic faithfuls in the world
Speaker 1: and as one of the major pressure group leaders in
Speaker 1: the world. The new Pope had previously criticized the policies
Speaker 1: of President Donald Trump, just as his predecessor, Late Pope Francis,
Speaker 1: had always condemned trump policies on illegal immigration, with records
Speaker 1: showing that the late Pope Francis promoted and elevated the
Speaker 1: new Pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth multiple times within a
Speaker 1: short period to the high level to qualify him becoming
Speaker 1: the next Pope. We had reported that the Camelingo of
Speaker 1: the Apostolic Chamber, Cardinal Kevin Farrell, at about nine forty
Speaker 1: five a m. On Monday, announced the death of Pope
Speaker 1: Francis from the Casa Santa Marta, hours after Pope Francis
Speaker 1: had called for an end to wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Soudan, Congo, Yemen,
Speaker 1: and other humanitarian crises in Mayanmar, South Sudan, in the Sahil,
Speaker 1: the Horn of Africa, the Great Lakes, Lebanon, Syria, and
Speaker 1: thus begging political leaders not to yield to fear, but
Speaker 1: use the state resources under their custody to fight and
Speaker 1: eradicate hunger and promote development among the people, which the
Speaker 1: Pope said are weapons of peace, adding that there can't
Speaker 1: be peace without the freedom of religion, expression thoughts and
Speaker 1: respect for one another views. Just as the Pope on Sunday,
Speaker 1: at around eleven thirty a m less than twenty hours
Speaker 1: to his death, met in person with the Vice President
Speaker 1: of United States, James David Advance, after the Pope had
Speaker 1: called on President Donald Trump to end his anti immigrant policy,
Speaker 1: asking Catholics in America to reject the anti immigrant narratives
Speaker 1: canvassed by the US government led by President Donald Trumpsasoledy
