AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoLand of Fires, Naples: Pope Leo XIV met grieving families from Italy’s “Land of Fires” near Naples, where decades of mafia-linked toxic waste dumping have left communities with cancer and loss—his message was blunt: environmental injustice must end, and “impunity” and corruption that “still kill” won’t be tolerated. Profit vs. pollution: In the same visit to Acerra, he condemned companies chasing “dizzying” profits while harming land, water, and air, echoing a European court ruling that Italy failed to protect residents. AI and the next encyclical: With Magnifica Humanitas due May 25, the Vatican is also pushing an ethics-first focus on artificial intelligence, including an internal AI study group and a high-profile press event. Conflict protection: Separately, the Holy See urged the UN to protect civilians, warning that attacks on healthcare and religious sites continue—and that no machine can replace moral judgment when lives are at stake.
