Pope Leo XIV personally came to the Vatican’s Synod Hall to present his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, a sign of how deeply he feels the Church must stand close to her children in this new age of artificial intelligence. In the same room, before the image of Peter’s tomb and under Mary’s gaze as Mother of the Church, tech leaders, cardinals, theologians, and diplomats listened together for the voice of the Holy Spirit in our time.
Like his predecessor Leo XIII in Rerum Novarum, Pope Leo XIV sees that our technologies are touching the deepest places of human life — work, war, family, even the hidden heart. He spoke of hearing the cries of those harmed by algorithms and weapons “beyond human reach,” and of his desire to listen to parents, teachers, and the poor before writing Magnifica Humanitas. Above all, he asked that artificial intelligence be “disarmed,” just as the Church has long worked for nuclear disarmament: stripped of logics of domination and made to serve peace and the God‑given dignity of every person.
