Pope Francis has addressed leaders at the G7 Summit in southern Italy, the first pontiff to do so. Speaking at a special roundtable, the Pope challenged them to keep human dignity foremost in developing and using artificial intelligence, warning that such powerful technology risks turning human relations themselves into algorithms. "Faced with the marvels of machines, which seem to know how to choose independently, we should be very clear that decision-making, even when we are confronted with its sometimes dramatic and urgent aspects, must always be left to the human person," he said. "We woul...

Before flying to Italy's southern Puglia region to meet world leaders at the G7 summit, Pope Francis hosted a very different audience at the Vatican today, celebrating the importance of humour. The pontiff welcomed more than 100 comedians from 15 nations, including US celebrities Whoopi Goldberg, Stephen Colbert, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon. “In the midst of so much gloomy news, immersed as we are in many social and even personal emergencies, you have the power to spread peace and smiles,” Francis told the comedians. “You unite people, because laughter is contagious,” he continu...

G7 leaders' deal on Thursday to use the profits of frozen Russian assets to secure a €46 billion loan to support Ukraine has already been described as "historic". The joint effort to show Russia’s President Vladimir Putin that the world’s leading industrial democracies stand by Ukraine was also behind the long-term agreement signed on Thursday to strengthen Ukraine's defences against Russia’s invasion. "It’s a strong signal we are sending to Putin, showing him that he cannot win," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said as she spoke to the press on the summit’s sidelines. Toget...

A teenager born in London is set to become the first millennial saint. Carlos Acutis died in 2006 at the age of 15. His canonisation follows Pope Francis attributing a second miracle to him. Acutis is believed to have played a role in the recovery of a student in Florence who experienced brain bleeding due to head trauma. The event marked the first step towards his sainthood in 2020, as he was credited with his previous miracle for healing a Brazilian child with a congenital disease. The teenager died in Monzo after being diagnosed with leukemia. He gained recognition for launching a website t...

Pope Francis is stepping up his campaign to urge Italians to have children, calling for long-term policies to help families and warning that the country’s demographic crisis was threatening the future. “The number of births is the first indicator of the hope of a people,” Francis told an annual gathering of pro-family groups on Friday. “Without children and young people, a country loses its desire for the future.” Italy’s birth rate, already one of the lowest in the world, has been falling steadily for about 15 years and reached a record low last year with just 379,000 babies born. With the Va...

Pope Francis has said he is thinking about the struggles facing the people of Haiti. He was speaking to thousands of people who had gathered on St. Mark’s square in Venice to hear the pontiff offer mass. “The population is in despair because of the collapse of the health care system, food shortages and violence that is forcing people to flee,” Pope Francis said. Haiti has been in turmoil since the 2021 assassination of president Jovenel Moïse. Gang violence is rife in the capital, with armed groups controlling most of Port-au-Prince. In a report published last month, the United Nations describ...

The Vatican chose to stage its pavilion inside Venice’s women’s prison, and through a deal with the Italian Justice Ministry, invited inmates to work alongside the artists. The result is a multimedia exhibit “With My Eyes,” that is open to the public by reservation only and under strict security conditions. The Vatican exhibit has turned the convent-prison into one of the must-see attractions of this year’s Biennale, an unusual art world darling that greets visitors at the entrance with Maurizio Cattelan’s wall mural of two giant filthy feet. The work, titled “Father,” recalls Caravaggio’s dir...
