In a modern papal first, Pope Leo XIV personally presented his highly anticipated encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas” at the Vatican. Montse Alvarado was there and reports on how Pope Leo XIV’s landmark document addresses artificial intelligence, human dignity, and what it means to preserve our humanity in the digital age. Moral theologian Dr. Joseph Capizzi of The Catholic University of America and technology ethicist Brian Patrick Green of Santa Clara University discuss the biggest takeaways from Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas.” They react to Anthropic’s presence at the Vatican launch and examine how Silicon Valley and the tech world may respond to the pope’s guidance on artificial intelligence. We join Mark Irons on the road in St. Augustine, Florida — the site of the first Catholic Mass in the United States - as the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage kicks off its summer route up the East Coast and through most of the original 13 colonies during the United States' 250th anniversary. Bishop Andrew Cozzens discusses the witness of the 2026 National Eucharistic Pilgrimage during the United States’ 250th anniversary and explains why drawing closer to the Eucharist remains vital for Catholics today. Roselle Reyes spotlights how Build with Christ AI brings people together to create values-aligned AI tools to help bless ministries and non-profits, so that artificial intelligence technology can ultimately better serve mankind.
