#PopeLeo hits out at critics of #globalwarming
Reiterating words of his predecessor #PopeFrancis, #pontiff lambasted critics who "ridicule those who speak of global warming".
#Pope's remarks, at a speech near Rome, will be seen as an implied criticism of US President Donald Trump, who last month called #climatechange a "con".
Pope Leo also called for greater action from citizens the world over on #climate change, saying there was no room for indifference or resignation.

With the death of the Pope, the Catholic Church will begin the process of finding a new Pontiff, and etymologically that makes sense. Pontiff, or in Latin Pontifex, is a fancier word for the Pope (which is literally “papa”) or the Bishop of Rome, and was borrowed from the name of a pre-Christian Roman high priest, the Pontifex Maximus (literally “supreme” pontiff). In Latin pontifex literally means “bridge-builder”, a compound word made up from pons “bridge” + the suffix -fex “maker”, which comes from the verb facere “to make, do”. The word pons had the earlier meaning “way, passage”, and so the title pontifex had the original sense of “he who prepares the way”, and this Latin word can ultimately be traced back to a Proto-Indo-European root *pent- “to tread, go”, which also came into the Germanic branch as Proto-Germanic *finthan “to come upon, discover”, which became Old English findan and Modern English find.

#PopeFrancis was a somewhat controversial #pontiff, but was a consistent champion for #peace on #Earth. He frequently worked to lift marginalized and vulnerable people — and was more welcoming than his papal predecessors.

I hope the next #pope builds upon #Francis' work to care for the sick and poor, and to unite humanity in peace. The Bible teaches we are all created in the image of God — all of us. We are one #human kind, and we should embrace our global #diversity.

Part 2

While looking for an answer, we wrote a letter directly to the Dicastery for Communication, a special Vatican office which gives authorization for any use of the Pontiff’s image.

Here’s an interpretation of this Papal #copyright from the representatives of the Dicastery:

1. The copyright covers both the appearance and the voice of the #Pontiff.

2. The employees of the Dicastery are still undecided as to who is the copyright holder: either the #pope or the Holy See.

📜 We got the letter about copyrights on Pontiff's voice and face from the Vatican

Part 1

As it is stated in the Law on the protection of copyright and related rights in the Vatican, the image and voice of the Roman Pontiff are considered copyright objects.

We wondered whether deepfakes of the Pope are infringing his IP rights.

So we asked the Vatican authorities...

#PopeFrancis condemns ‘economic colonialism’ in #Africa on visit to #DRC

On the other hand, religious colonialism is just dandy.

#Pontiff says poison of #greed for #mineral resources is fuelling conflict in Democratic Republic of Congo, but religion is all about the love.
