The Pope (the current Roman Catholic one, Leo XIV) did a thing like ... a week or two ago and it's making the rounds today because someone noted that he quoted "The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien". So it's making the rounds. As far as popes hailing from Roman Catholicism go, I like Leo XIV more than most popes on offer. Brevity is apparently not his thing. The Vatican predilection for making exhaustive length numbered lists and using Microsoft Word to format their documents means it's quite trivial to link to almost the exact part of the document. A thing which I did in the link above in case you're disinclined to read all ~36K of it. Given what I know of Leo, I expect a thorough trouncing of at least the companies and governments involved in our current LLM nightmare. Considering I'm not a Catholic (and am unlikely to become one any time), I don't expect to agree with much else but we'll see. I currently have the tome being text-to-speeched so I can listen at my 2X speed leisure.
