Pope Leo XIV is expected to issue his first encyclical as he begins his second year as leader of the Catholic faith. Indications from the Vatican suggest the letter will focus on the role of artificial intelligence in the church and the lives of the faithful. An encyclical is a letter outlining the church's position on doctrine, morality, or social issues. While it does not carry the weight of infallible dogma — a truth obtained through divine revelation — it is considered a significant message within the church. Pope Leo has spoken frequently about artificial intelligence during his first year leading the church. TIME included him on its 2025 list of the most influential people in AI, calling the pope a top thinker and "spiritual counterweight" to the emerging technology.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
