A six-part reading of Pope Leo XIV's AI encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, from a Protestant pastor who also works in technology. Across the series we trace worth, calling, formation, limits, and presence — affirming where the encyclical gets it right, and pressing the deeper question underneath it: before we ask what we're building with AI, we have to ask what we are.
Everyone said the pope compared AI to Babel. Few asked what that demands of us. A Protestant pastor reads Magnifica Humanitas — starting with: who are we?
