Pope Leo XIV lays out a vision of a “poor Church for the poor” and declared housing, work, and land to be “sacred rights” — a moral manifesto for the age of AI and inequality.
Now that’s a sermon worth stealing. A pope who remembers that holiness has a street address and a rent due date. When he calls land, housing, and work sacred, he’s doing what prophets always did, dragging God back into the material world.
AI can write poems about compassion, but it can’t feed a child or forgive a debt. That’s still on us.
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27.
This is not what the Pope says because the Pope does not care about anything but his own incorrect inclinations.

Is there a link to the full text anywhere? Couldn’t find it in the email or the Vatican News article.
