Vatican: AI-Generated Video of Pope Leo XIV Circulating, Warns Fr Suresh Mathew

Many major superiors and leaders of the Church have been sharing a video purportedly featuring Pope Leo XIV’s response to Captain Traore of Burkina Faso.

However, it’s essential to note that this video is AI-generated.

To confirm the authenticity of a video or a news story, I recommend checking official Vatican sources, such as:

• Vatican News: The official news website of the Vatican, which provides updates on the Pope’s activities, statements, and messages.
• Holy See Press Office: The official press office of the Holy See, which releases official statements, documents, and information on the Pope’s activities.

If the video or news is not featured on these official sources, it’s sure to be AI-generated or manipulated.

In this case, it’s best to refrain from sharing it to avoid spreading misinformation.

Let’s prioritize verifying information through credible sources to ensure the accuracy and trustworthiness of the content we share.

Best regards,
Fr Suresh Mathew
