118 - Social Doctrine in the Digital Age | Magnifica Humanitas Part 2

What does Catholic Social Doctrine have to say about artificial intelligence?

In Part 2 of our series on Pope Leo's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, we explore chapters 1 and 2 of the encyclical and discover why the Church's social doctrine is more relevant than ever in the digital age.

Pope Leo does not create an entirely new moral framework for AI. Instead, he shows how the timeless principles of Catholic Social Teaching (human dignity, the common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, social justice, and integral human development) help us navigate the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.

In this episode, we discuss:

What Catholic Social Teaching actually is
Why the Church speaks about AI, politics, economics, and technology
How Pope Leo applies Catholic social doctrine to the digital revolution
Why human dignity is the foundation of human rights
The common good, solidarity, subsidiarity, and social justice in the age of AI
Why algorithms, data, and digital platforms raise new moral questions
How Christians can think faithfully about emerging technologies

This is Part 2 of our chapter-by-chapter journey through Magnifica Humanitas. Whether you're interested in AI ethics, Catholic theology, philosophy, technology, or Catholic Social Teaching, I hope these reflections encourage you to read the encyclical for yourself and think more deeply about what it means to remain fully human in the digital age.
