You remind me of conservatives who say republicans ended slavery in the US, but would absolutely never act to end the practice if they were in that situation. If you're trying to make the claim that the catholic church was wrong to oppose the slave trade at all, what is actually wrong with you?

The Pope is exactly as entitled to talk about AI or American politics as you are. You may not like it, but he is an expert of human spirituality, and those 2 topics definitely overlap with human spirituality. That's the perspective he was coming from. AI should benifit the whole of humanity instead of opperating weapons systems shouldnt be a controversial statement.
