Pope Leo XIV’s First Encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas , on Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence.
Signed May 15, 2026, Magnifica Humanitas marks the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum, the foundational encyclical addressing moral questions raised by the Industrial Revolution.

Mike Schmitz, Ascension’s edition includes the full text of the encyclical and invites readers to respond to Pope Leo XIV’s call to protect human dignity amid one of the most consequential technological revolutions of our time.
