Blather, bromides, and a soupçon of bullshit to spice it up:
Most fanciful is the pope’s claim that the mandarins at the United Nations should be entrusted with overseeing AI. He says they “are essential instruments for promoting a civilization of love, for they can foster dialogue among nations and promote the peaceful resolution of conflicts.” This is truly the triumph of hope over experience. (WSJ)
I’m all for love, dialogue, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. But ask yourself: could the pope, or anyone, by entering into loving dialogue with the members of the IRGC, persuade these thugs to stop murdering fellow Iranian citizens? They have slaughtered some 42, 000 of them in recent months.
You cannot build a “civilization of love” with the anti-civilizational.
Our dear pope is a fool on several levels, and certainly no improvement over his predecessor, Bergoglio the Benighted.
Bill,
Here, from Chris Jackson, * is another revealing tidbit on Bergoglio’s Boy:
“Then there is Spain.
Pedro Sánchez emerged from his audience with Leo XIV declaring a strong alignment between himself and the Pope. This is the same political leader associated with abortion expansion, euthanasia legislation, transgender ideology, attacks on traditional social norms, and aggressive secularization.
Yet he publicly described Leo XIV as a moral compass.
That statement alone should have generated uncomfortable questions.
How exactly does a socialist architect of modern Spain’s secular revolution perceive such profound alignment?
The answer is not difficult to find.
Migration.
Climate themes.
Poverty rhetoric.
Humanitarian language.
Artificial intelligence regulation.
Global governance themes.
These are precisely the subjects on which modern secular progressives and Vatican officials frequently discover common ground. Notice what is absent. There was no public emphasis on abortion, euthanasia, demographic collapse, Spain’s destruction of Catholic identity or the moral revolution transforming Europe.
The issues that once defined Catholic resistance to secular liberalism increasingly occupy secondary status.
The Great Inversion
A century ago socialists feared the Vatican. Today socialists often praise it. …
Leo XIV may speak of continuity. His defenders may insist that nothing essential has changed. Yet appointments reveal priorities. Administrative decisions reveal assumptions. Political alliances reveal sympathies. And when viewed together, these stories point in the same direction.
The revolution never announces itself.
It simply continues.”
