France Pope

Pope Leo XIV warns that a “paradise of machines” could undermine humanity. He has raised existential questions about scientific progress and human rights during his visit to France. On Friday, Leo began a four-day trip, meeting President Emmanuel Macron and addressing diplomats. The visit includes stops in Paris, Lourdes, and Metz. Leo’s visit is the first by a pope in 18 years and has drawn significant attention. Macron, nearing the end of his term, sees this as a capstone event. The pope is expected to emphasize Europe’s Christian roots and discuss global challenges like climate change and artificial intelligence.
