AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoSpain Apostolic Journey: Pope Leo XIV arrived in Madrid to begin a June 6-12 trip focused on migrants, social justice, and a push for unity amid polarization, with major public moments including a youth vigil near the Bernabéu and a large Corpus Christi Mass in the city center. Abuse Reckoning: On the flight, he said clergy sexual abuse is “still an open wound,” and the Vatican confirmed he will meet abuse survivors in Spain, with details withheld to protect privacy. Church Meets Politics: The visit also lands in a tense moment for Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez and includes a historic address to Spain’s parliament, while the Pope’s path intersects with the politically charged “Valley of the Fallen” dispute. AI and Human Dignity: The trip follows Leo’s recent encyclical warning that AI must be “disarmed,” as Vatican-linked coverage continues to spark global debate over safety, war, and human-centered governance. Safeguarding Watch: In parallel, the US bishops’ conference is set to vote next week on a revised child-protection charter, with only limited changes expected.
