America Magazine: Where synodality shows up in ‘Magnifica Humanitas’
The US Jesuit publication ‘America Magazine’ has recently published an analysis of Pope Leo’s latest encyclical, ‘Magnifica Humanitas’. Author Erin Birgham says in this article:
“In Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” we not only receive timely wisdom on artificial intelligence, we also get a glimpse of his ecclesiology and understanding of Catholic social teaching. Synodality, named explicitly on four occasions, is pervasive throughout the text. It illuminates the way Leo writes about the nature of the church and its role in society as well as the development of Catholic social teaching. Perhaps most important, it offers a synodal approach to authority that the world beyond the Catholic Church, hungry for a moral voice on this topic, will find compelling.”
