Pope Leo XIV has released his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), inviting the Church and the world to reflect on how technology, especially artificial intelligence, should always serve the dignity of the human person. Drawing from the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching, the Holy Father reminds us that progress is meaningful only when it helps people flourish, strengthens community, protects the vulnerable, and serves the common good. As technology continues to shape daily life, we are encouraged to ask not simply what we can create, but how we can use our gifts and innovations in ways that reflect Christ’s love and uphold the God-given dignity of every person. Please keep Pope Leo XIV and the Church in your prayers as we continue walking together in hope and faithful witness.
