In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Today we celebrate the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This marks the beginning of the Season of Creation – observed by Christians of various denominations – whose theme this year is “Living Water.” As I recalled in the Message for this Day, caring for our common home calls for a conversion of heart, so that what has been used to bring about destruction may instead be directed toward life. I invite everyone to join in prayer and action, that we may become channels of the living water of God’s peace, refreshing our wounded world.
Lovely news. @hammersmithandy will be brilliant as Solicitor General ❤️

Londoners first hopped on board ten years ago - and we've never looked back.
After more than one billion Hopper journeys so far, the new Weekend Hopper arrives this summer.
Pay once, travel all day 🐸

.@SadiqKhan cleaned London’s air when many said it couldn’t be done, delivered over a million free school meals, and built more council homes than at any point since the 1970s.
All things people didn’t think they’d see in their lifetime. theguardian.com/politics/202…
From the hundreds of families now living in new good quality council homes to the children benefitting from outstanding children’s services - you’ve helped change thousands of lives. One of the hardest-working people in politics I know ♥️

Pope Leo XIV became the second Pope to carry the Cross for the entire Via Crucis on Good Friday at Rome’s Colosseum, joined by around 30,000 faithful and countless people across the world on social media, television, and radio.

Africa is a large brown landmass from the center to the upper left, stretching from about 9 to 12 o'clock. Clouds cover most of the 6 o'clock. Credit: NASA
ALT A full disk image of Earth, as seen from the Orion capsule. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. From about 8 to 9 o'clock, a large brown landmass is Africa, with the Iberian peninsula twinkling with lights just where the planet curves. At the 1 o'clock spot, aurora glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

Nearly a year after his election, Pope Leo XIV has made peace the defining theme of his pontificate, repeating his call for dialogue and disarmament amid escalating global conflict.

I’m often asked why I do what I do. It’s due to these two, one age 84, the other age 5.
What is good for my family is good for others too.
The personal is political ❤️
My brilliant friend Aysha 💔
There are no words to fully express my shock and deep sadness at the sudden passing of Dr Aysha Raza - respected neuroscientist and passionate defender of the NHS, a tireless campaigner for equality - and Ealing Council’s first ever Muslim woman Cabinet Member.
Aysha was a dear and loyal friend who worked relentlessly, not only for her beloved community in Ealing, where she served as a councillor for over a decade, but for social justice everywhere. Her commitment to fairness and compassion was unwavering, and her impact will be felt for years to come.
She was a cherished daughter, sister, friend and councillor. She had an amazing sense of humour and a moral compass that made me proud to call her a friend, an adviser and an ally.
My heartfelt condolences go out to her mum, family, friends and to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy will continue to inspire us all.

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”.
This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival. People are starving. Children are dying. And those with the duty to act are failing. As the occupying power, Israel has unequivocal obligations under international law — including the duty of ensuring food and medical supplies of the population. We cannot allow this situation to continue with impunity.
No more excuses. The time for action is not tomorrow — it is now. We need an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full, unfettered humanitarian access.

The UK must immediately recognise Palestinian statehood.
There can be no two state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.

While the conflict between Israel & Iran has dominated headlines, we can't allow the suffering of Palestinians in Gaza to be pushed into the shadows.
The ceasefire between Iran & Israel offers hope.
And hope is more needed than ever.
It's time for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages, and full, safe & sustained humanitarian access.
