Comment on Pope Leo XIV dislikes AI, won’t authorise creation of AI Pope—"If we automate the whole world and only a few people have the means with which to more than just survive"~ there’s a big problem

You’re making overly broad generalizations about a religion with over 1 billion members.

There are absolutely people who abuse the confession system as a get out of jail free card for their guilt with no intention of changing their ways.

Again, there are absolutely restrictions to freedom of religion, just like there’s restrictions on every other 1A right.

That’s not how confession works. It’s not a “get out of jail free card”, and it doesn’t take a broad generalization to know that even somebody deluded enough to think that it is, is going to tell a priest “and I’ll do it again” and still think they’re getting anything out of it. That’s just a scenario made up entirely in your head, and I wouldn’t waste too much of your energy worrying about scenarios that only exist in your head. We have enough real problems to worry about.

Again, there are absolutely restrictions to freedom of religion

Yes, and the seal of confession is not one of them, nor should it be.

  You must be a child rapist since you know so authoritatively what they’d say in confession.
