JD Vance made remarks on the name choice of Pope Leo during a press briefing at the White House. He also spoke about how the pope\u2019s comments on artificial intelligence<\/a> could impact people and society. He found it interesting that the pope\u2019s name honors Pope Leo XIII, who spearheaded the Industrial Revolution that happened across the world.<\/p>\n

JD Vance talks about Pope Leo\u2019s name<\/p>\n

During the press briefing, JD Vance said that he finds it \u201cfascinating\u201d that Leo XIV pays tribute to Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 to 1903. During his tenure, the world was undergoing a massive shift in industry. He further stated, \u201cOf course, that industrial transformation, according to a lot of people, led to the rise of fascism and communism in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vance further explained why Pope Leo may have chosen the name and how it carries a similar significance to the one it held during the Industrial Revolution. \u201c[He] chose that name to maybe apply Christian social teaching in a new era with a new technological innovation in the same way that the industrial revolution was the technological innovation of its time,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Recently, things have been a bit heated between the Vatican and the White House. As Donald Trump<\/a> and Pope Leo\u2019s back-and-forth, harsh public exchanges continue. Their feud started when Pope Leo made comments about the US administration\u2019s handling of the Iran war. Recently, the president accused the pope of \u201cendangering Catholics\u201d and being \u201cfine\u201d with Iran having nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n

Pope Leo later addressed the criticism, stressing how his comments were interpreted wrongly. He said, \u201cShould anyone want to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, they should do so with the truth. For years, the Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons, so there\u2019s no doubt about it. So I simply hope to be listened to for the value of God\u2019s word\u201d (via\u00a0The Washington Post<\/a>)<\/p>\n
