    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 5: Can AI Make War Even More Dangerous?

    What happens when artificial intelligence and other powerful technologies enter the world of war? In Chapter 5 of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV turns his attention to war, peace, power, and the possibility of building what he calls a “civilization of love.” Amanda and Jonathan talk through some challenging questions about AI and warfare, the dehumanizing effects of technology, the normalization of conflict, and what it means to keep human responsibility at the center of decisions that can have irreversible consequences. They also discuss just war theory, nuclear weapons, economic interests behind conflict, the importance of diplomacy and dialogue, and why peace requires more than simply avoiding war. And as the chapter moves from the global to the personal, they consider something much more practical: What can ordinary Catholics actually do when the problems of the world feel too big for us? The answer isn't resignation. We can begin where we are—through our choices and the small acts of faithfulness that help build a civilization of love.

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 4: Who Is AI Really Serving?

    Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, communicate, and even how we spend our attention. But as AI becomes more powerful, Pope Leo XIV asks us to look beyond what the technology can do and consider who bears the cost of that progress. In Chapter 4 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack what the Church has to say about the human consequences of technological transformation—from disinformation and attention-based business models to job displacement, hidden workers, data exploitation, and new forms of inequality. They talk about: Why truth and human attention should be treated as goods worth protectingHow technology and social media can shape culture, especially for young peopleThe impact of AI and automation on meaningful workThe hidden workers behind AI systems and the conditions they may faceHow data extraction can create new forms of exploitation and colonialismWhy families, workers, and vulnerable people need to be considered when technology changesThe responsibility of businesses, investors, and technology designersWhat it means to pursue technological progress while protecting human dignity When technology creates new opportunities and wealth, who gets to share in the benefits—and who is carrying the hidden costs? Join us as we continue our journey through Magnifica Humanitas and consider what it looks like to put the human person at the center of technological and economic progress.

    The Catholic Truth about Money, Wealth, Generosity and Financial Freedom with Angela Schnieders

    What does the Catholic Church actually teach about money, wealth, debt, generosity, and financial stewardship? In this conversation, Amanda joins Angela  Schnieders on Integrated Wholeness for Body, Mind, and Soul to unpack the Catholic approach to money—and why financial freedom should ultimately give us greater freedom to respond to God's will. They talk about: Why Catholics need a clearer understanding of financial stewardship How money can serve our vocation rather than become an end in itself Getting out of debt and the freedom that can create Generosity, detachment, and what it means to hold wealth with open hands Why financial planning and trusting in God's providence can—and should—coexist Building wealth and businesses for the good of families, communities, and the Church Why financial education belongs in Catholic formation and marriage preparation The importance of wills, trusts, guardianship, healthcare directives, and other estate planning How to approach financial hardship without losing hope Amanda also shares part of her and Jonathan's story of paying off $25,000 of debt in seven and a half months—and how becoming financially free gave them greater capacity to say yes to the vocation God was giving them. At the heart of the conversation is a simple question: What if financial freedom isn't ultimately about having more freedom for ourselves, but having greater freedom to say yes to God?

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 3: Can We Moralize the Machine?

    In Chapter 3 of Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV takes a closer look at AI, technological advancement, and the technocratic mindset that can reduce everything—including human beings—to efficiency, optimization, and control. Amanda and Jonathan unpack what the Church’s social teaching has to say about AI, including: Why more technological power doesn’t necessarily mean more human progress How AI can concentrate economic and social power Why AI should not be confused with human intelligence The importance of prudence, transparency, and moral responsibility How AI can affect creativity, relationships, and our ability to exercise judgment What transhumanism and the desire to “optimize” humanity have to do with our understanding of human limits Why our weaknesses, suffering, and dependence on others are part of what makes us human The deeper question is one Pope Leo keeps bringing us back to: Does this technology make human life more human? 📖 Read the full encyclical:https://www.ewtnnews.com/vatican/full-text-of-magnifica-humanitas-read-pope-leo-xiv-s-first-encyclical 🎙️ Sponsored by Catholic Financial Planners Network:https://catholicfinancialplanners.com/ 📬 Get our weekly Catholic money tips: ⁠walletwin.com/weekly⁠ 📲 Follow us on Instagram: ⁠@walletwin⁠ Music in this episode is by Dylan Gardner – ⁠⁠⁠⁠check out his album Almost Real⁠⁠ ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠, or wherever you listen to great music.

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 2: Who Gets Left Behind by Technology?

    In Chapter 2 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan unpack the Catholic social teaching principles Pope Leo XIV says we need in order to navigate the digital revolution. This chapter gets more concrete about human dignity, human rights, the common good, the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, solidarity, and social justice—and begins applying those principles to algorithms, data, digital platforms, surveillance, and artificial intelligence. In this episode: • Why human dignity does not depend on wealth, productivity, ability, or status • The two dangers Pope Leo identifies for human rights today • Why the common good requires us to look beyond our own interests • How private property and the universal destination of goods work together • What subsidiarity means when major technology companies hold enormous power • Why algorithms, platforms, patents, infrastructure, and data raise new questions about access and ownership • How solidarity changes the way we think about technology’s impact on other people and future generations • Why technological progress must ultimately be judged by whether it helps people become more fully human Pope Leo’s question for the digital age is bigger than whether a technology is useful or profitable: Does it truly serve the human person and the common good?

    Magnifica Humanitas, Chapter 1: Why Catholic Social Teaching Matters

    In Chapter 1 of Magnifica Humanitas, Amanda and Jonathan step back from AI itself to look at the framework the Church will use to evaluate it. This chapter traces the development of Catholic social teaching through the popes, from Rerum Novarum through John Paul II, Benedict XVI, Francis, and now Leo XIV. Along the way, Amanda and Jonathan unpack why the Church has something to say about economics, technology, work, power, and public life in the first place. They discuss: The dignity of the human person as the starting point for social doctrineWhy work is more than a paycheck or a cost of productionFair wages, worker protections, and the danger of reducing people to productivitySolidarity, subsidiarity, and the common goodWhy profit and markets must remain subordinate to the moral lawHow Catholic social teaching develops without abandoning what came beforeWhy the Gospel remains the lens for judging what humanizes, dehumanizes, liberates, or oppressesWhat all of this means as the Church prepares to address AI more directlyThis chapter is foundational for the rest of the series. Before asking what Catholics should think about artificial intelligence, Pope Leo XIV first reminds us what the Church already teaches about the human person, society, work, and the common good.

    Magnifica Humanitas: A Catholic Response to the AI Revolution

    In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Amanda and Jonathan kick off a new series on Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo XIV’s letter on safeguarding the human person in the age of artificial intelligence. More than a century after Rerum Novarum responded to the upheaval of the Industrial Revolution, the Church is once again speaking into a technological revolution as it unfolds—this time around AI. Amanda and Jonathan introduce the major themes they’ll explore throughout the series, including: Why the rise of AI is about far more than productivity and convenience The tension between technological progress and human dignity What the Tower of Babel has to do with our current moment Why profit and efficiency cannot become the highest goods The importance of the common good as AI becomes more powerful How work, money, power, and technology intersect with Catholic social teaching Why wisdom, virtue, and restraint matter when humanity gains unprecedented power How Catholics can engage new technology without allowing it to diminish the human person This episode serves as an introduction to the series. Over the coming episodes, Amanda and Jonathan will work through each chapter of Magnifica Humanitas, beginning with the foundations of Catholic social teaching before moving into its practical implications for AI, technology, work, and human life. Grab a copy of the document and follow along with us as we ask one of the biggest questions of our time: Will technology serve humanity—or will humanity begin serving the technology?
