Pope Leo XIV quoted Gandalf from "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in his first encyclical.

“We can all do our part.” The encyclical read “The twentieth-century Catholic author J.R.R. Tolkien, in the words of a protagonist in one of his novels, described our responsibility in this way: ‘It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.'”

This was part of Pope Leo XIV's impassioned call for regulation of artificial intelligence, warning that “opaque algorithms,” controlled by a handful of powerful private companies, can bring “new forms of dehumanization.”
