“We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace” (MH 15). 

This fall we will dive into the deep with Pope Leo’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas (Magnificent Humanity) This letter to the Universal Church addresses one of the defining questions of our age: how to safeguard human dignity in the era of artificial intelligence. Come and learn with our Holy Father as we explore technology, human identity, work, truth, and the Christian vision of authentic humanity. 

Magnifica Humanitas acknowledges familiar concerns about AI, including job insecurity, manipulation of information, privacy violations, ideological bias, autonomous weapons, and a futuristic vision of an “enhanced human being.” But Pope Leo XIV identifies a deeper danger: that human beings may begin to see themselves and others as projects “to be optimized” (Magnifica Humanitas 112).

There is no preparation for the first session. You will receive your participant’s guide with the encyclical at the first session.

For questions, contact Tricia Pieper via EMAIL.
