The first encyclical of Pope Leo XIV entitled “Magnifica Humanitas” has been published.On the 135th anniversary of “Rerum novarum”, the Pontiff reflected on the Social Doctrine of the Church in the time of artificial intelligence. He appealed for the safeguarding of “a magnificent humanity inhabited by God”, promoting truth, the dignity of work, social justice and peace. In the digital age, there is a need to disarm Artificial Intelligence (AI) and move beyond the “just war” theory, relaunching dialogue and multilateralism.
We are publishing Joachim Schwind’s article about the launch of the book, “Paradiso ‘49” (Paradise ’49), by Chiara Lubich, that appeared in Città Nuova: it is a text which has been kept reserved and which can now be used for dialogue with the Church and contemporary culture.
The presentation of the book “Paradise ‘49” by Chiara Lubich, Foundress of the Focolare Movement, took place yesterday, 22 May 2026, in the Paul VI Hall at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome.
