The Holy See selected May 22 for the release of Pope Leo XIV’s debut encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, which addresses concerns over transhumanism, technological revolution and artificial intelligence.
At the presentation of the document in the Vatican Synod Hall, the Pope was joined by a number of speakers who helped explain the context surrounding its promulgation.
The date was significant, marking the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII’s landmark encyclical addressing the plight of the poor and factory workers in a transforming industrial age.
