Leon XIV: „Zasadą, podmiotem i celem wszystkich instytucji społecznych jest i powinna być osoba ludzka”

In brief

Pope Leo XIV stated during a general audience on September 16, 2026, that the human person must serve as the principle, subject, and goal of all social institutions.

During his catechesis, the Pope warned that while technological advancements and artificial intelligence offer new opportunities, they also risk shallowing human relationships. He cautioned against allowing algorithms to make decisions that belong to the human conscience.
