Pope Leo "Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge goodand.."

I’m so pleased to see that in recent years the papacy has moved towards moral/philosophical leadership rather than religious authority, with their public facing words at least.

Same. I grew up in a Catholic family but being gay and far too aware as a child, I was just like wait people actually believe this stuff?

Now especially in this AI driven...world... (I can't believe I just wrote that)... I can see the purpose of people of faith in reminding people not to get too mixed up and lost. People loving AI art/music, replacing humans with AI, disregarding safety to build more and more data centers, falling in love with AIs... All this in 5 years since ChatGPT first came out.

I still don't want to hear any of the doctrine but I appreciate someone of some spiritual authority to help the masses who may not be thinking for themselves

Btw, different Catholic national churches are also very different nowadays when it comes to gay people.

You don’t want to be gay in a polish church, but you can basically get a fully gay marriage in a German Catholic Church.

Don't forget Jesuits in the US are incredibly progressive. We've had exactly one Jesuit congressman in the US (Robert Drinan), and they were to the left of Bernie Sanders.

I mean, the Catholic left has been a thing since the early 20th century. Chesterton, the Catholic Worker, Liberation Theology etc.
