Pope Leo XIV Addresses Spain's Parliament on Life, War, AI and Peace

In a historic first, Pope Leo XIV addressed Spain's Parliament in Madrid, calling for protection of human life from conception to natural end, warning against rearmament in Europe, and demanding ethical oversight of AI in warfare. The Pope's unprecedented address to a national legislature signals the growing political reach of the papacy, a dynamic Scripture associates with the end-times role of a world religious authority influencing kings and governments. Revelation 17:18 describes a religious power with authority over the rulers of the earth, while Daniel 11 speaks of a dominant voice shaping the political and moral order of nations in the last days.
