Political renewal begins with metanoia: a change in what individuals desire, value and understand by prosperity. A just nation should express that inner transformation through responsible care for food, land, energy, transport, waste and the common home.
Pope Leo XIV’s address at the Vatican launch of Magnifica humanitas places artificial intelligence within the tradition of Catholic social teaching. Like Leo XIII’s Rerum Novarum in 1891, it asks how a great technological transformation can be judged by the dignity of the human person rather than by power, profit, or efficiency alone.
