Pope Leo XIV Urges Dignity for Workers During Politically Charged Argentina Visit
The pope said artificial intelligence and unregulated automation can put countless jobs at risk and undermine integral human development.
- On Monday, Pope Leo XIV addressed social movements and labor leaders at the Catholic University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, emphasizing upholding human dignity and rejecting sterile individualism in economic life.
- His Apostolic Journey included a stop at Cottolengo Don Orione, a 'city of charity' housing more than 400 people with disabilities, before celebrating his first Mass in Argentina, which the Vatican said drew an estimated 2.5 million people.
- During his speech, Pope Leo repeatedly drew applause by quoting Francis's 'tierra, techo y trabajo,' or land, housing and work, asserting that depriving a person of work severely wounds their dignity.
- Critics of Argentine President Javier Milei interpreted the address as a rebuke to his libertarian agenda, particularly as informal labor has climbed to 45% since he took office amid mass layoffs.
- The Holy Father stressed that technology must be subject to ethics, adding that an algorithm cannot replace human discernment or the intrinsic value of a worker's physical presence and effort.
