EWTN News portal reports on May 25, 2026, that Robert Prevost, known as “Pope Leo XIV,” unveiled his first encyclical, *Magnifica Humanitas*, in a ceremony at the Vatican’s Synod Hall. The event was attended by members of the Roman Curia, academics, diplomats, and notably Christopher Olah, co-founder of Anthropic, a major artificial intelligence company. The self-styled pontiff praised the inclusion of a non-believing tech executive as a “sign of hope” and emphasized the need for “dialogue” and “mutual effort” to address the challenges of AI. He compared the current technological transformation to the Industrial Revolution, suggesting it may have “even greater consequences.” The document, signed on May 15, the anniversary of Leo XIII’s *Rerum Novarum*, calls for AI to be “disarmed” and warns of its impact on warfare, healthcare, and employment. The event featured speeches by Cardinals Parolin, Fernández, and Czerny, as well as theologians Anna Rowlands and Leocadie Lushombo. This entire spectacle is a grotesque parody of Catholic teaching, replacing the supernatural order with a fetishization of technology and a desperate plea for relevance in a world hurtling towards the abyss.
