As Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical 'Magnifica humanitas' is unveiled, Professor Anna Rowlands, theologian at Durham University, tells Vatican News that such a powerful message—addressing both the benefits and dangers of our AI era—will leave an enduring mark on the Church and the world.
At a Mass of Reparation, Vatican delegates and Peruvian clergy knelt before farmers in Peru asking for forgiveness, following years of petitions from the indigenous community asking for “reparation” in response to abuses suffered at the hands of members of the "Sodalitium Christianae Vitae," an ecclesial organization dissolved in 2025.
Pope Leo XIV presents "Magnifica Humanitas" as the Church’s response to the challenges posed by artificial intelligence, calling for AI to be “disarmed” from logics of domination, exclusion and war. Drawing parallels with Rerum Novarum, the Pope urges the global community to place technological progress at the service of human dignity, solidarity and the common good.
Pope Leo XIV warns that Europe’s demographic decline threatens intergenerational solidarity and the future of society, calling for renewed support for families and human dignity. Addressing European lawmakers, he says only a “fresh springtide for the family” can overcome the continent’s growing social and cultural sterility.
