Pope Leo XIV visits Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana

In brief

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit the Vatican Apostolic Library.

Archbishop Giovanni Cesare Pagazzi noted that the upcoming visit confirms the mission of the library. Pagazzi described reading as an antidote to polarization and discussed the connection between the Pope's ministry and the service of culture. He also addressed the role of contemporary art and the impact of artificial intelligence, suggesting that while technology can increase access to knowledge, it risks becoming a shortcut that reduces the patience required for learning.
