(RNS) — The Catholic Church wants everyone to participate in a conversation about the direction of digital technology and artificial intelligence, the pope explains in introducing his first encyclical.

In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV highlights eight women from the fields of faith, science, education and politics whose lives demonstrate how courage, service and human dignity can transform society.

The question is not whether Leo XIV has spoken well. It is whether the institutional architecture exists for any temporal authority to answer, and whether any European institution has been authorised to ask the anthropological question the encyclical raises.
Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, upon its May 25 publication drew major interest across the globe, but few other Christian traditions have yet reacted to it. Those most interested in the work have been secular, rather than other churches. Even in America, the response to the in-depth encyclical has been spearheaded by _TIME_ , _Newsweek_ , and CBS News, rather than from other…
In a strange coincidence, within days of Chicago native Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical on AI, Magnifica Humanitas, the University of Chicago’s Office of the President made the following announcement:
“As a next step in the University of Chicago’s overall approach to artificial intelligence (AI), the University is partnering with Anthropic to provide Claude Enterprise for all academics and staff…

Pope Leo XIV published Magnifica Humanitas on 15 May 2026 — the first papal encyclical centred on artificial intelligence. I am curious what Catholic social teaching would make of AI.
The encyclical’s account of why AI is dangerous — that we are building systems that will reshape human society without adequately thinking through what we owe each other — seems largely right to me. The place I…

It’s a serious argument, and it deserves a serious response – not from theologians, but from the people designing kill-webs and autonomous targeting systems and compressed decision architectures.
(RNS) — In line with long-standing papal concerns.

(The Conversation) — Leo XIV released his first encyclical on the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, the 1891 papal document on the upheavals of the Industrial Revolution.
On sustainably building tech that serves humanity.

(RNS) — Most of the programmers teaching AI to “think” are men. One can only hope that the views of women will be added to the equation.
(RNS) — Since “Rerum Novarum,” Catholic social teaching has generally assumed that the state served as the primary counterweight to concentrated economic power. “Magnifica Humanitas” suggests that this arrangement no longer adequately describes reality.
(RNS) —Starting from the centrality of the human person, Pope Leo XIV offers a series of reflections to help guide the world through the challenges and risks posed by AI.
En 1968, Anthony Quinn se metió en la piel de un pontífice atrapado en una grave crisis política internacional, en la que China, EEUU y la Unión Soviética amenazaban con resolver sus disputas económicas a golpe de guerra nuclear.

I’ve read several big sections of Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas — magnificent humanity. The whole thing is essentially a book at 40k words. It’s fascinating and at times even great. Some of the most interesting parts of the text aren’t really about AI, but more about what it means to be human and to care for others.
There is also a theme of concentrated power and who will control AI:

(RNS) — ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ gives us the tools to extend the church’s social teaching into the places the encyclical itself did not go. Three areas in particular call out for exactly this kind of constructive extension.

Pope Leo XIV released his first encyclical, _Magnifica Humanitas_ , on Monday. The 42,000-word statement is being described by major media outlets as centering on the rise of artificial intelligence and the moral, spiritual, and social challenges that it poses to modern society. Even the encyclical itself says that its topic is “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial…
Au cœur de Magnifica Humanitas, ce n’est pas d’abord l’intelligence artificielle qui préoccupe le pape Léon XIV, mais la dignité de la personne humaine. Parce que tout homme est voulu par Dieu et possède une valeur intrinsèque qui ne dépend ni de son utilité ni de ses capacités, le Saint-Père réaffirme que le droit à la vie doit être protégé de la conception jusqu’à la mort naturelle

Pope Leo XIV presented his first encyclical letter to the Vatican on Monday. Titled “Magnifica Humanitas,” or Magnificent Humanity, the 43,000 word missive specifically takes aim at AI — and the AI bros. [Vatican] It’s a book-length writeup on the AI bubble and why it’s terrible. It details all the current human abuses of AI […]
(RNS) — ‘As AI amplifies and compounds religious bias at scale, more users may misunderstand the contribution faith and belief can make to moral and ethical AI grounding,’ said Elder Gerrit W. Gong, one of the 12 apostles in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in a speech.
