Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), reflects on the dignity of the human person in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). In this video, Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. walks through the entire encyclical chapter by chapter, unpacking its major themes, from Catholic Social Teaching and human dignity to the moral, spiritual, and cultural challenges of emerging technology. 

How should the Catholic Church respond to rapid technological change? What does it mean to remain truly human in a world shaped by artificial intelligence, automation, and digital culture? Fr. Gregory guides us through the full document and its most important insights. In Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV offers a distinctly Christian vision of progress rooted in truth, freedom, work, communion, and love.
