The Red Pope picks and chooses his issues. This man let’s Red China pick his churches’ own Bishops and Cardinals, in effect, he has made a deal with the devil. On many fronts he has disappointed the world. Now he takes a supposed stand against A.I.
Pope Francis made a historic address at a G-7 conference in Fasano, Italy, focusing on the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence (AI). His speech marked the first time a pope has spoken at such a gathering, emphasizing the dual nature of AI as both a promising advancement and a potential threat.

In his address, Pope Francis highlighted the mixed emotions surrounding AI—enthusiasm for its potential to advance human progress and fear of the possible dangers. He likened AI to historical technological advances such as flint knives and nuclear energy, which have served both constructive and destructive purposes.
The pontiff expressed concerns over AI’s impact on society, particularly its potential to fuel a “throwaway culture” that could dehumanize vulnerable populations. He stressed the importance of maintaining human control over AI, particularly in sensitive areas such as education, criminal justice, and military applications. Without such oversight, Pope Francis warned, humanity could be doomed to depend on machine-based decision-making, stripping people of their dignity and ability to govern their own lives.

The pope called for a comprehensive reform to ensure that AI development is guided by ethical standards that prioritize human dignity. He emphasized the need for a “healthy politics” that involves diverse sectors and expertise to manage the integration of AI in society responsibly.
Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis has consistently voiced skepticism about the unchecked expansion of technocratic systems, particularly their potential to exploit AI efficiencies at the expense of the poor. His remarks at the G-7 summit build on his previous statements from December 2023, where he speculated about the global risks of allowing technocratic powers to sacrifice humanity for efficiency.

This address at the G-7 conference underscores is just another Red Pope event. As a leader of a major religion, you would think the man would focus on his own flock rather than attack them every chance he gets. Now he is an expert in A.I. in addition to Drag and Trans issues, as well as climate change. This is what e get with a Leftist Pope who bows to China. Yet another puppet on the global stage doing as he is told.
