Da Pope has dropped an #encyclical. An encyclical is a pastoral letter issued by the #Pope.
Historically encyclicals serve as a key instrument of the Popeโs ordinary magisterium to guide the faithful on matters of faith, morals, devotion, or social discipline, they are generally not infallible pronouncements ex cathedra.
Iโm still reading and digesting, but a quick skim suggests that this is the biggest thing to drop from the #Vatican in my lifetime.
Thereโs, #AI, thereโs transhumanism, thereโs social contract, he apologizes for the Churchโs blind eye to #slavery, he declared that โjust warโ is no longer a thingโฆin a change of policy held since the Crusades. He calls for #OpenSource, he quotes #Tolkien. (I like Da Pope.)
Thereโs a lot. You can read it here. Itโs gonna take me a while to map it all out.
