Pope Leo XIV visits Unesco

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV visited the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on Friday, September 25, to discuss human dignity, peace, and the challenges of new technologies. This visit served as the second official engagement of his apostolic trip to France, which continues through Monday, September 28.

During his address to organization representatives, the Pope stated that education, science, and culture must remain connected to the promotion of the human person. He warned that modern society faces the dehumanization of people and the humanization of machines, specifically noting the challenges posed by artificial intelligence. He argued that education is incomplete if it does not address the meaning of existence and cautioned that humanity must still define what it means to live as a human being in the 21st century.

Pope Leo XIV described life as a gift rather than a commodity and emphasized that recognizing a common humanity requires understanding a shared responsibility toward others, especially the vulnerable. He also noted that 2027 will mark the 75th anniversary of the Holy See's presence at UNESCO.
