Pope Leo XIV

Rome/Vatican [ENA] On 12th of May Pope Leo XIV met in the Paul VI Hall in the Vatican about 5,000 journalists and media operators . The Pontiff thanked those present again and was greeted with applause and a shout of 'Long live the Pope'. Pope Leo XIV meeting the representatives of the media who arrived in Rome for the Conclave, quoted his predecessor Francis and said: "Dear friends, we will learn to know each other better over time.

Prevost stressed that "we do not need thunderous, muscular communication, but rather a communication capable of listening, of gathering the voice of the weak who have no voice". "Let's disarm words and we will help disarm the Earth. Disarmed and disarming communication allows us to share a different view of the world and to act in a way that is consistent with our human dignity". Let's disarm words and we will help disarm the Earth"."Disarmed and disarming communication - added pope Leo XIV- allows us to share a different view of the world and to act in a way that is consistent with our human dignity.

We have lived - we can say together - truly special days. We have, you have shared them with every means of communication: TV, radio, the web, social media. I would like each of us to be able to say that they have revealed to us a little bit of the mystery of our humanity, and that they have left us with a desire for love and peace". Moreover the Pontiff said. "This is why I repeat to you today the invitation made by Pope Francis in his last message for the World Communications Day: let us disarm communication from all prejudice, rancor, fanaticism and hatred; let us purify it from aggression".

You are on the front lines in narrating conflicts and hopes for peace, situations of injustice and poverty, and the silent work of so many for a better world. For this reason, I ask you to choose with awareness and courage the path of a communication of peace". Another important topic of the Pope has been responsibility and discernment with AI. In the face of the "immense potential" of artificial intelligence, we must have "responsibility and discernment to direct the tools to the good of all, so that they can produce benefits for humanity".
