Comment by Pope Leo XIV
Head of the Catholic Church
In recent years, artificial intelligence systems have increasingly taken control of the production of texts, music and videos. This puts much of the human creative industry at risk of being dismantled and replaced with the label 'Powered by AI,' turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts and anonymous products without ownership or love.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote is authentic. The official Vatican page at the provided URL, a message dated 24 January 2026 and signed “LEO PP. XIV,” contains the passage verbatim in English, ending exactly after “anonymous products without ownership or love.” The Vatican press bulletin in Italian also carries the corresponding text (“sostituita con l’etichetta ‘Powered by AI’...”), confirming the attribution to Pope Leo XIV.

Quote confirmed via web search as being from Pope Leo XIV's message for the 60th World Day of Social Communications (January 2026). Multiple Catholic and secular sources (PC Gamer, OSV News, Melbourne Catholic, etc.) quote the exact passage about AI "turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts" and the "Powered by AI" label dismantling the creative industry. Vote alignment is correct: "against" the statement "AI will create more jobs than it destroys" matches the Pope's warning that AI puts the human creative industry "at risk of being dismantled." WebFetch on the Vatican URL returned 403 but the source URL pattern matches Vatican's official format.
