Pope Leo urges global action on AI in latest manifesto
Catholic popes have been urging global leaders to address social justice issues for 135 years across some two dozen major documents that many of the world’s 1.4-billion-faithful can cite by their two- or three-word titles. “Rerum Novarum” from Leo XIII in 1891 called for better conditions for workers in the Industrial Revolution. “Pacem in Terris” […]

Failed Experimental Embalming Caused Decomposition Problems at Pope Pius XII’s 1958 Funeral
📰 Original title: In October 1958, the Funeral for Pope Pius XII Was Ruined by a Botched Embalming
🤖 IA: It's clickbait ⚠️

The article describes the widely reported embalming disaster that occurred after the death of Pope Pius XII in October 1958. According to historical accounts, the Pope’s personal physician, Riccardo Galeazzi-Lisi, used an unconventional preservation technique instead of standard embalming procedures traditionally employed for deceased popes. Pius XII had reportedly requested that his internal organs not be removed, leading Galeazzi-Lisi to attempt an experimental method involving aromatic oils and wrapping the body in cellophane. The procedure failed badly. Due to warm weather conditions, lack of proper refrigeration, and the ineffective embalming process, the Pope’s body rapidly decomposed. Reports from the time stated that the corpse became swollen, discolored, and emitted a severe odor during the public viewing. Swiss Guards assigned to stand near the body allegedly had to be replaced frequently because of the smell, and some accounts claim parts of the body deteriorated visibly. A wax mask was later used to cover the Pope’s face. The article also recounts reports that, during the funeral procession from Castel Gandolfo to Rome, gases built up inside the body, causing a rupture that shocked mourners and attendants. The embarrassing incident drew international media attention and damaged the reputation of Galeazzi-Lisi, who was subsequently dismissed from Vatican service, banned from Vatican City, and reportedly barred from practicing medicine. Following the incident, the Vatican introduced stricter embalming and funeral preparation protocols for future papal funerals to prevent similar problems from happening again.

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Pope Leo XIV’s new 82‑page encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, warns that the rise of artificial intelligence threatens to make civilization “less human” by hollowing‑out work, concentrating wealth, eroding dignity and even enabling AI‑driven warfare; he calls for the “disarming” of AI to curb a race for ever more powerful algorithms driven by geopolitical or commercial dominance and stresses that technology itself is not evil but must be guided by human values and responsibility. The document also includes a historic apology for the Vatican’s role in the transatlantic slave trade and frames the AI challenge as an anthropological crisis for humanity, urging dialogue with AI developers—such as Anthropic’s co‑founder Christopher Olah—while rejecting any endorsement of specific companies.

In his "Magnifica Humanitas" encyclical, Pope Leo warns that as civilization grapples with the power of AI, the main challenge is remaining "profoundly human."
PBS NewsHour - The Latest | Pope calls for robust regulation of AI in manifesto that ponders the future of humanity by Nicole Winfield, Associated Press, Kaitlyn Huamani, Associated Press, Paolo Santalucia, Associated Press
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.‑born pontiff, released his inaugural encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” urging strong, legally binding regulation of artificial intelligence and insisting that developers prioritize the common good over profit. He condemned the “culture of power” driving an AI arms race, declared it unacceptable to entrust irreversible lethal decisions to machines, and warned that the concentration of data and algorithmic power threatens children, the vulnerable, and the dignity of work. Drawing on Catholic social teaching and the legacy of “Rerum Novarum,” the pope called for transparent oversight, independent review, informed users and political responsibility, urging a moral framework that is not dictated by a few corporations. The document, hailed by tech, academic and religious leaders as a potential benchmark, also featured dialogue with Anthropic’s co‑founder, emphasizing the need for broader civil‑society participation to steer AI toward serving humanity rather than degrading it.

67: Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data.
In a context where the wealth of nations depends on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. Furthermore, care for our common home and our responsibility toward the poor and future generations require that the use of the goods of creation and the new possibilities offered by technology be regulated in such a way as to respect the environment, avoid waste and prevent new forms of exploitation.
