Comment by Pope Leo XIV
Head of the Catholic Church
In a context in which the high level of computerization of financial tools imposes increasingly elaborate and artificial forms of mediation in interpersonal relationships, you — heirs to a great tradition of human attentiveness — are called to ensure that those who access your services do not feel abandoned to the coldness of algorithmic systems.

Verified via web search. Pope Leo XIV addressed Italian bankers in May 2026, and the quote "heirs to a great tradition of human attentiveness" / "abandoned to the coldness of algorithmic systems" is confirmed by multiple sources (vaticannews.va, catholicnewsworld.com). The source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but Google search and the Catholic News World coverage confirm the quote. The "for" vote on "Regulated industries should prohibit AI from making autonomous decisions where fiduciary duty applies" aligns with his concern about people being "abandoned to the coldness of algorithmic systems" and his insistence that "the human person must always remain at the center" of financial decisions. Year 2026 is current.
