Pope Leo XIV – författare

"Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. Each generation inherits the task of shaping its own era, of guiding history to become a place where the dignity of every person is safeguarded, justice is promoted and fraternity is made possible."Thus begins the first encyclical of the first pope from the United States, written during the country's 250th anniversary and addressing a topic - artificial intelligence - whose industry is centered in the United States. Yet Pope Leo's message is for everyone of good will throughout the world, to remind them of the principles of Catholic social teaching, the grandeur of being human, and the dignity of work as signposts in navigating the challenges and opportunities of an economy shaped by AI.This handsome paperback version from The Catholic University of America Press, the publishers of the pope's doctoral thesis, will spark reflection and action upon Pope Leo's words.

Pope Leo XIV's opening statement to the world, offering a bold and urgent vision of what it means to be human in modern times and the coming age of artificial intelligence. ‘The strongest way of looking at AI I've seen’ RORY STEWART ‘A remarkable case for placing moral concerns at the centre of any discussion of AI’ THE NEW YORKER ‘Beautifully written, hugely significant, speaks truth to power’ ALASTAIR CAMPBELL AI is transforming work, creativity, communication, politics and the fabric of our daily lives. Yet the deepest questions it raises are moral, not technological: What does it mean to be human? What is progress for? And what must never be surrendered to the machine? In his landmark first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV draws on the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching to explore the questions at the heart of the AI revolution. Calling for a future in which innovation serves human dignity rather than diminishes it, he offers a compelling vision for technology in service of humanity. Delivered at the outset of what many consider to be the next technological revolution, this landmark text addresses contemporary challenge of safeguarding our humanity in the dawning era of Artificial Intelligence at the beginning of his papacy. Neither fearful nor naïve, this is a clear-eyed invitation to think more deeply about the world we are building - and the human beings we are becoming.

In his first book of original, never-before-seen writings, Pope Leo XIV offers readers around the world a window into the spiritual foundation that would lead him to the papacy-in his own words before his election.Before becoming Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost had never published a book. But shortly after his election to the papacy, Leo chose these previously unpublished texts to become his first published collection of writings: Freedom Under Grace. This wide-ranging book captures the heart of his spirituality, forged by the conviction that “man is not defined by what he possesses or what he knows, but rather by what he loves.”This collection comes from Prevost’s time overseeing the Order of Saint Augustine, distilling his understanding of the Christian life today for individuals, local communities and churches, and the whole Catholic Church. Drawing on the rich tradition of Saint Augustine, Prevost advances an inspiring vision rooted in community and solidarity, commitment to social justice for the poor and marginalized, and the confidence that the gospel of Jesus Christ is what the world most desperately needs to face today’s challenges.For anyone looking to Pope Leo for wisdom and pastoral guidance, Freedom Under Grace is essential reading, delivering profound spiritual depth, penetrating theological insight, and unwavering moral courage.
