00:00Pope Leo XIV received a rock star's welcome at the Vatican's Festival of Catholic Influencers on Tuesday,
00:07a gathering of priests, nuns and ordinary faithful who use their social media presence to preach and teach the faith.
00:16Leo thanked the crowd for using their digital platforms to help promote Catholicism,
00:21but warned them about neglecting human relationships in the quest for cliques.
00:26There is a second challenge in this mission.
00:31Always look for the suffering flesh of Christ.
00:36Today we find ourselves in a new culture, deeply characterized and formed by technology.
00:44It is up to us, it's up to each one of you, to ensure that this culture remains human.
00:52But nothing that comes from man and his creativity should be used to undermine the dignity of others.
01:02Your mission is to nurture a culture of Christian humanism.
01:08We have a duty to work together to develop a way of thinking.
01:13It is not simply a matter of generating content, but of creating an encounter of hearts.
01:22Leo has said that addressing the threat to humanity posed by artificial intelligence will be a priority of his pontificate.
01:29The digital missionaries are in Rome as part of the Vatican's week-long jubilee for young people.
