#Rubio Promises Cuba a Better Future — in a Box https://belly-of-the-beast.kit.com/posts/rubio-promises-cuba-a-better-future-in-a-box August 13, 2026 [weekly newsletter about #Cuba from the #BellyOfTheBeast #news collective. Their videos can be found at: https://peertube.world/c/cuba_botb_videos/videos] The #Trump administration is touting a $100 million aid package for Cuba, most of which is being distributed by #CatholicChurch charities. But the aid is a drop in the bucket compared to the damage caused by #US# sanctions and an #oil #blockade that has plunged the country into a humanitarian crisis. In our latest video, Belly of the Beast journalist Yohan Rodríguez reports from Bejucal, a town on the outskirts of Havana, where residents welcomed the food kits but questioned the policies that made the aid necessary. #NoWarOnCuba #USHandsOffCuba #OilForCuba! #CubaIsNotAlone #EndTheBlockadeEmbargo #CubaSolidarity #LetCubaLive #EndSanctionsAgainstCuba #OffTheList #CubaNoEstáSola #SolidaridadConCuba #PetróleoParaCuba #LatinAmerica #Caribbean #politics #USpol

Business Latest | What Pope Leo XIV’s First Encyclical Says About the Power of AI by Elena Betti AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, frames artificial intelligence not merely as a technological advance but as a powerful, invisible infrastructure reshaping society, economics, and morality. Echoing the Catholic social doctrine of *Rerum Novarum*, the Pope warns that the concentration of digital platforms, data, and algorithms in the hands of a few amplifies inequalities, threatens human dignity, manipulates truth, endangers meaningful work, and even jeopardizes the ethics of warfare by delegating lethal decisions to machines. He calls for “disarming technology” – stripping AI of monopolistic control, ensuring transparency, and making it accessible to a plurality of actors – so that it serves the common good rather than becoming a tool of economic, political, or military domination. The encyclical stresses the need for cultural and educational efforts to help people recognize these mechanisms, emphasizing that the decisive issue is not the technology itself but who governs it and under what vision of humanity.

Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S.‑born pontiff, released his inaugural encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” urging strong, legally binding regulation of artificial intelligence and insisting that developers prioritize the common good over profit. He condemned the “culture of power” driving an AI arms race, declared it unacceptable to entrust irreversible lethal decisions to machines, and warned that the concentration of data and algorithmic power threatens children, the vulnerable, and the dignity of work. Drawing on Catholic social teaching and the legacy of “Rerum Novarum,” the pope called for transparent oversight, independent review, informed users and political responsibility, urging a moral framework that is not dictated by a few corporations. The document, hailed by tech, academic and religious leaders as a potential benchmark, also featured dialogue with Anthropic’s co‑founder, emphasizing the need for broader civil‑society participation to steer AI toward serving humanity rather than degrading it.

News Headlines | AI cannot replace authentic human connection - Archbishop AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Archbishop Eamon Martin, the Catholic Primate of All Ireland, warned that artificial intelligence must never replace authentic human connection, urging that Christian communication remain rooted in human dignity and personal encounter rather than the efficiency of technology. Speaking on the Church’s 60th World Day of Social Communications, he echoed Pope Leo III’s call to “preserve human voices and faces” in the digital age, cautioning that AI’s ability to copy voices, create faces and generate seemingly human words risks reducing people to mere “content” or “data” and can undermine truth, conscience and meaningful interaction. Martin appealed to parents to guide young people in using technology without losing real conversation and called for stronger resistance to disinformation, manipulation and the dehumanisation of opponents. He noted that Archbishop John McDowell of the Church of Ireland has raised similar concerns, emphasizing that efficiency should not become the primary value by which information is judged.

Catholic Church won’t survive without ordaining women, Cardinal warns Unless the Catholic Church breaks its 2,000-year tradition of ordaining only men to the priesthood, Archbishop of Luxembourg Cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich doesn’t believe it “can continue to exist.” And the majority of Catholic women agree with him, he claims. #Luxembourg #CardinalJeanClaudeHollerich #women #CatholicChurch #Ordination Source: https://www.christianpost.com/news/catholic-church-wont-survive-without-ordaining-women-cardinal.html #Faith #ChristianNews #Bible
