Magnifica Humanitas: The Pope Writes Like the Machine He Fears
On 15 May 2026, Pope Leo XIV released Magnifica Humanitas, an encyclical letter "On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence." The document runs roughly 35,000 words across five chapters and a conclusion.

The framing image is biblical and Manichean. Humanity is presented with a choice between two ancient construction sites. One is the Tower of Babel, where collective effort produces dominance and dehumanization. The other is the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Nehemiah, where shared responsibility under God produces communion.

“He kept the same position that [Pope] John Paul II had when the wall [separating Jerusalem and Bethlehem] started to be built, where he said the Holy Land needed bridges and not walls. That was repeated by Pope Francis, who stood heavily for the right of the Palestinian people for self-determination.”

Pope John Paul II and pedophile priests becomes Poland’s a top political issue. The country’s ruling party wants to convert reports that the pontiff turned a blind eye toward child abuse into electoral rocket fuel.

@johnwlast Yes. It's very odd that more people don't make note of that. ALSO Ratzinger's political rise in the church was largely based on his status as a theologian & his shaping of the theological track during #JohnPaulII 's pontificate was his most important legacy (for better and worse)
