    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The Pope has given his blessing to a free online learning portal aimed at encouraging children to take up software development, while he administers the spiritual kind.

    The so-called “Code with Pope” initiative is an online software training tool designed to help kids between 11-15 learn the basics of Python.

    The platform runs in Spanish, English, Italian and Polish and Mironiuk said the papal approval could help convince kids to give it a try.

    “We believe that the involvement of the Pope will help to convince them to spend some time and use this opportunity to learn programming for free,” Mr Mironiuk explained to the BBC.

    His predecessor, Benedict XVI, started an apparently infallible @pontifex Twitter account in 2012 but Francis then moved onto Instagram four years later as “franciscus” and now has over nine million followers in that digital world.

    He’s met the heads of Apple and Microsoft and has also issued warnings about the dangers of AI and reminded the faithful to log off for Lent.

      The owner is a Polish Catholic.

      Yes, checks out. Who else would think that the Pope is a role model for kids?
