Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV honored Spain’s tradition of religious devotion as a “school of faith” during a Mass before a million people.

The Chicago-born pontiff made the declaration on the plane to Madrid, where he will kick off a weeklong visit to Spain.

Vance said in an interview with NBC News he is glad the pope tackled AI. He also discussed why X remains off his phone after he deleted it for Lent.

The pope’s message is clear — in the battle for righteousness, human beings must remain at the center of civilization, not sidelined by AI.

The U.S.-born pope was writing in his first encyclical, a sweeping and eagerly anticipated manifesto.

History’s first U.S.-born pope, whose family history includes both enslaved people and slave owners, delivered the apology in his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas” (Magnificent Humanity), which was released Monday.

The pope will join leading Catholic theologians and an Anthropic co-founder Monday to release a landmark encyclical.

Leo hit out at “unscrupulous people and organizations” behind decades of mafia-linked toxic waste dumping.

The visit kicked off a series of day trips that Leo will be making over the next few weeks, up and down the Italian peninsula.

The audience comes at a fraught time between Washington and the Holy See, after weeks of presidential criticism from the first American pontiff.

The president accused the pope of "endangering a lot of Catholics and a lot of people" for criticizing the Iran war.
