  • Pope Leo XIV has said he will not authorise the creation of an AI avatar of himself, as it would blur the lines between truth and fiction.
  • The Pope also noted that he is concerned with AI’s impact on human dignity and jobs.
  • If automation replaces too many people and only a few can work, that could be a “huge problem” the Pope said.

"The aforementioned case" just means "the case that was mentioned previously."

Yes, it is 100% in the public interest to break confidentiality to report instances of egregious bodily harm to other human beings. The confessional seal should not be more important than justice for victims of crimes. This is why many countries have mandatory reporting requirements.

It is not for the priest to decide whether someone is at risk of reoffending. We should not trust bad people to police themselves. And if the situation is someone confessing to hurting another person, they have already breached the trust placed in them by society. If you just ask them to turn themselves in, they will often breach that trust again.

We (i) don’t actually know the rules for priests, just that its the origins for how it works for medical personnel.

This 100% feels very dangerous, psychiatrists provide a huge service to the public interests, you are advocating to undermine it with no nuance to individual cases.

Take for example. Someone with guilt and is contemplating to go to authorities themselves. The source material poop provided even starts with specifying refusal to consent as a possible requirement.

Good thing the job of psychiatrists has a high bar of required study and expertise.

Priest sadly not as much.
