We're Just Hours Away from Pope Leo XIV's First Papal Encyclical titled Magnifica Humanitas
Immersive Language Reading on Twigit
So when the cardinal from Chicago walked
out onto the Loia as Pope Leo I 14th
the church received its first message
about what this pontificate was going to
be about
To understand it you have to go back to the man whose name he took
In 1891
the world was on fire in a way it had never been on fire before
smoke stacks steel
railways tearing through villages that had stood for a thousand years
A new kind of human being had appeared
the industrial worker
stripped of land stripped of guild
stripped of the slow rhythms of agrarian
life and dropped into the factory
Markx had an answer for him
The liberal capitalists had an answer for him
The church for a long time didn't
And then Pope Leo I 13th wrote a letter
on the condition of labor
He wrote that the worker is not a thing
He wrote that wages are a moral
question not just a market one
He wrote that the state exists for the
human person not the other way around
The church's answer to industrial
dehumanization was that the dignity of
the worker is not negotiable
That letter is the foundation stone of
modern Catholic social teaching
Every social encyclical since has been a
footnote to it
Now jump forward
In the middle of the 20th century a
different technology shook the world
Splitting the atom changed what war
meant
Radio and film and television
changed what culture meant
And Pope Pius I 12th wrote and spoke
again and again about a church that had
to think about machines now about what
they do to the soul what they do to the
family what they do to the conscience
The pattern was already visible
When a new technology displaces the
human the church speaks not to reject
the technology to defend the human
affected by it
Now jump again to us
The factory worker of 1891 has a
descendant
He sits at a screen
His work is words and code and images
And a machine has just arrived that can
do his work
Write the email draft the
brief generate the picture hold the
conversation
The displaced worker is back
He looks different
He wears different clothes
But the question is the same question
Leo I 13th answered
What is owed to him
What is his work for
What is he for
And then a man chose the name Leo
In January of 2025 before any of this
the Vatican had already published a
teaching document on artificial
intelligence and human intelligence
It was careful
It was thorough
And it was clearly a prelude
A future pope was being prepared to
write something larger
That pope is now in office and he has
told us by his name where he intends
to plant his flag
Names are arguments
He has chosen his
The pattern when you stand back and look
at it is simple
Leo I 13th answered the
machine of muscle
Pas I 12th answered the machine of war
and image
Leo I 14th is being asked to answer the
machine of mind
The same question in three keys
What does the human being mean when a
new power threatens to make him
optional
The dignity of work didn't end in 1891
It just changed shape
So when his encyclical drops
and it will drop in a matter of hours
you'll know what to listen for
Not whether he's optimistic or
pessimistic about the technology
That's the wrong question
Listen for what he says about the
worker
Listen for what he says about the image
of God in a creature who can now build
something that imitates him
Because the church has much to teach us
and the world is waiting for the wisdom
of Pope Leo I 14th
