Abstract
Following the repositioning of the Holy See on diverse issues, it is now expected that Pope Leo XIV will further advance policies pertaining to sexual and reproductive health. The role of regional and local interpretation of global policies, whether from church or government, is recognised besides the freedom of individuals and couples regarding their behaviour and practice. There is hope that the Vatican will now prioritise reconciliation in global politics, including a reform of its social doctrine. A strategic approach, drawing upon multilateral diplomacy and artificial intelligence in the search for truth, has much potential for progress leading to interventions.
