Sister Maria Atília Collet has found in the saint of impossible causes a guiding light for her own life and that of thousands of pilgrims. Before arriving in Roccaporena, the Italian town where Saint Rita was born in 1381, her religious mission took her from inland Brazil to Italy, Portugal, Spain and Mozambique. She spent over 15 years in the African country, where she deepened the human and spiritual experience that today guides her in welcoming pilgrims.
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.
