Hear about this letter from Pope Leo XIV himself:
In this presentation, Pope Leo XIV delivers his full address at the Vatican launch of his first encyclical. Speaking from the Synod Hall, the pope personally presents this social encyclical highlighting how AI and the digital revolution carry “even greater consequences” than past technological shifts. He situates Magnifica Humanitas in continuity with Catholic social teaching, responding to a growing “culture of power” fueled by emerging technologies.

From the Word on Fire Website:
Magnifica Humanitas is Pope Leo XIV’s bold and timely first encyclical, a sweeping meditation on artificial intelligence, human dignity, technology, war, labor, truth, and the future of civilization itself. Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, and the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching, Magnifica Humanitas offers a compelling Christian vision of the human person in an age increasingly shaped by machines.

For the first time in history, a pope has quoted Gandalf in an official Church document—and warned the world about the possibility of AI-driven autonomous weapons. This encyclical isn't just about technology. It's about how to see yourself, your world, and your calling through the lens of the Jesus message—in an AI-saturated age.
