In his new encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo XIV took aim at the normalization of war, made more dangerous by a digital revolution that is “changing the nature of conflict” and blurring “the fine line between protection and aggression.” “When historical memory fades and the ethical principles that protect civilians and the most vulnerable are weakened, it becomes easier to justify violence as necessary, inevitable or even ‘sanitized,'” he said. “It is in this context that humanity is slipping into a violent culture of power, where peace no longer appears as a responsibility to be taken on, but as a fragile interval between conflicts.” As a result, he said, “Today, more than ever, without prejudice to the right to self-defense in the strictest sense, it is important to reaffirm that the ‘just war’ theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated.” Read the full story: osvnews.com/pope-leo-ai-cu… #magnificahumanitas #justwartheory #warandpeace #popeleoxiv #ai
