POPE LEO XIV’S FIRST PAPAL ENCYCLICAL: MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS!
‘Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.’ – Pope Leo XIV
Published on Monday 25 May, Pope Leo XIV signed his first encyclical on 15 May, the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum. The new letter, Magnifica Humanitas, addresses one of today’s major challenges: safeguarding the human person in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
Pope Leo XIV appeals for people to build ‘for the common good’ and to ‘remain human,’ acting in courage towards shared responsibility and communion, so that the world ‘will come to recognise the human heart as the place where God desires to dwell.’
