POPE LEO XIV has published the first encyclical letter (major teaching letter) of his Papacy (25 May 2026).

Magnifica humanitas was published on the 135th anniversary of the encyclical Rerum Novarum by Pope Leo XIII. Archbishop Dermot Farrell has issued a statement welcoming Pope Leo's letter Magnifica Humanitas, The Grandeur of Humanity.

"The letter is aimed at safeguarding humanity at a time of artificial intelligence. At its heart is an appeal to all people of goodwill to work together to ensure that Al is developed and used in ways that promote 'human flourishing' and help us build a better, more just world.

Copies of Pope Leo's encyclical letter are available in the parish shop for € 10 per copy. It is well worth reading carefully.
