  • The Pope told priests they should not use computer programs to write their church speeches.
  • He says that a priest’s own thoughts and heart are much more important than what a computer can write.
  • People are now arguing about whether it matters who writes the speech or how well it is spoken to the people.

Pope Leo XIV has issued a directive to the clergy of the Diocese of Rome, urging them to cease the use of artificial intelligence to draft their weekly sermons.

The Pope maintains that technology is no substitute for the deeply personal aspects of faith, arguing that spiritual leadership requires genuine reflection and human connection that software simply cannot replicate.

The debate has prompted the Siz The World team to weigh in on the matter, questioning whether the value of a sermon lies in its human authorship or its ultimate delivery.

Technology is efficient, but can a machine ever replace the soul of a sermon, or does the message require a human touch?
