I will skip the "just war" theory, because I simply don't know enough to make a cogent argument
But
> attacks colonialism without explaining why Christians created colonies
Speaking as an english person with a passing interest in colonialism, this is an _interesting_ take.
Which colonies are you talking about? because the ones in America and Ireland were explicitly not catholic. More complex still some of them were super anti-pope, and a lot were just C-of-E catholic but sans pope
Who, in your mind, are "these people?" Please, don't go back and check the authorship of the document before replying. I'm extremely curious to see what you are thinking.
While there's a singular author ("Leo"), these writings are often created in consultation with other people:
> Francis, for example, did not write Laudato si’ entirely on his own. The first draft was prepared by the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace, with input from other Church leaders. The document was then revised and reviewed by the Vatican’s Secretariat of State and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
But I meant mostly those who share "Leo's" errors and write like him ("these people [like "Leo"])
ehhh, the model doesn't matter as much, the summary appears to be accurate (you can ctrl+f for keywords like "slavery", then see what's being said on the subject)
so for example with "Just War" we see this passage:
> it is important to reaffirm that the “just war” theory, which has all too often been used to justify any kind of war, is now outdated.
This would clearly be thought to be an error from a Catholic viewpoint, because the right to wage "justified war" comes from the individual right to self-defense, as applied to a collective group of people legitimately defending against aggression (maybe lots of people here for example would argue Ukraine is legitimately justified in waging defensive war against Russia, for example).
Hence while it is good to promote peaceful resolutions of conflict, the document goes too far in condemning legitimate self-defense.
(So while the whole long document likely says correct things about AI and the dignity of work, it also adds in things like the above that Catholics would clearly reject. Typically Catholics would accept what a pope is writing so if you're getting someone who claims to be pope teaching erroneously, this points to a bigger problem for Catholics.)
I do not think that self-defense of an invading force is what just war theory is concerned with. The passage also says it is outdated, not that the doctrine is abrogated.
Look who is more Catholic than the Pope.
I do find this an interesting take.

Could you explain more about your viewpoint?
ig it's about French and Belgians in Africa, and Spanish in America.
I grew up Catholic, and I don't regonize myself or any of my Catholic upbringing in anything you wrote, at all.

If you share your prompt and model that created your summary then HN users can make their own hot take summary sub summaries.
