Pope Leo XIV Issues First Encyclical on AI, Human Dignity, and Just War

Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas' addresses artificial intelligence, transhumanism, abortion, slavery, and declares traditional 'just war' theory 'outdated,' calling instead for dialogue and diplomacy. The document is prophetically significant as it reveals a global religious institution reshaping moral and geopolitical frameworks, positioning the Church as a mediating voice over nations in matters of war and peace. Scripture warns of a coming false religious system that exercises authority over kings and peoples, and a world religion that speaks of peace while guiding the world toward a unified order — themes echoed in Revelation 17-18 and Daniel 11.
