This is the best summary I could come up with:
A Polish tech entrepreneur’s global project, aimed at getting more children into computer programming, has been endorsed by Pope Francis.
Miron Mironiuk, founder of artificial intelligence company Cosmose AI, is drawing on his own experience of coding transforming his life.
“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 told the BBC.
The initiative will champion access to coding education through a free online learning platform for students aged 11-15 across Europe, Africa and Latin America.
However, a severe global shortage of tech skills threatens to leave 85 million job positions unfilled by 2030.
As a result, increasing access to high-quality programming education has become a necessity, particularly in low and middle-income countries - many of which are Catholic.
