Papal Encyclicals

Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, will be published May 25, addressing artificial intelligence and the protection of human dignity, the Vatican has announced.

Pope Francis’ new encyclical on the Sacred Heart of Jesus is being hailed as “a simple and powerful cure” for a fractured world, said the president of the U.S. Catholic bishops’ conference, a sentiment echoed by other experts on devotion to the Sacred Heart.
