Pope Leo Warns Against AI-Written Sermons Online
7.1
In a Thursday address to clergy of the Diocese of Rome, Pope Leo XIV warned against using artificial intelligence to prepare homilies and criticized excessive social media focus on "likes." He noted the Vatican’s new AI translation system for St. Peter’s Basilica, capable of real-time translation in up to 60 languages. He urged continual study and human-crafted preaching to preserve faith and critical thinking.
