My take on Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical.
May 26
“In an age of anthropological uncertainty—of technological wonder, intellectual confusion, and spiritual apathy—Pope Leo’s first encyclical, ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ (Magnificent Humanity), has as its foremost priority the pressing need to remind us what we are: beloved children of God.”
