May 25, 2026 : Pope Leo XIV signed Magnifica Humanitas, the first encyclical of his pontificate, on May 15, the 135th anniversary of the promulgation of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum. The document was released by the Holy See on May 25.
The encyclical develops the Churchʼs social teaching in light of artificial intelligence, situating new questions of human dignity, labor, and the common good within the tradition that runs from Rerum Novarum through Centesimus Annus and Laudato Si'.
Through the encyclical, Pope Leo XIV appealed for artificial intelligence to be placed firmly at the service of humanity, warning against technologies that foster domination, exclusion and war.
