Leo XIV names clickbait the enemy of real communication (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For World Communications Day 2027, the Pope chose “A New Gaze: Paying Attention in the Age of Clickbait,” a direct challenge to the infrastructure that monetizes human attention. On September 29 — the feast of St. Gabriel the Archangel, patron of communications — the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication announced the theme for the 61st World Communications Day, to be celebrated on May 9, 2027: “A New Gaze: Paying Attention in the Age of Clickbait.” The full papal message will be released on Jan
The other Robert: Who was the man Leo XIV honored in France? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Metz is the French city where Venerable Robert Schuman built postwar Europe. Pope Leo XIV came to recall a politician who believed public service was a form of prayer.

Pope Leo XIV met with the bishops of the French Episcopal Conference on Sunday morning at the Sainte-Bernadette auditorium of the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes — the site where the French bishops hold their plenary assemblies, and where Leo chose to deliver what is perhaps the most comprehensive address of his four-day visit to France. The
What Leo XIV means when he talks about progress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pope answered a question that has haunted modernity since the Enlightenment: Can you believe in God and in progress at the same time? The question Leo XIV posed at his general audience on September 23 seems rather simple: what is the value of human activity in the world? And still, in all its apparent straightforwardness, this is the question that has divided Western culture for two centuries, and the Catholic tradition’s answer to it has been mostly misunderstood by both sides.
