Pope Leo XIV’s Encyclical ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ Under Scrutiny
Political historian Giovanni Orsina criticized Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical ‘Magnifica humanitas’ for its lack of political realism, arguing it overemphasizes ethics at the expense of state power. In response, Antonio Caragliu, a lawyer and essayist, contends that the encyclical does not dissolve power but rather exalts state control, particularly in regulating artificial intelligence. Caragliu suggests Orsina’s analysis is overly pessimistic about Leo XIV’s approach to politics and states, focusing more on consolidating traditional social teachings than undermining them.
