formerly the Archdiocese of New Orleans Retreat Center
Day of Prayer, "Magnifica Humanitas: Artificial Intelligence and the Gospel of Life," July 8, 8:30 a.m. registration, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. program, The Cenacle on the Lake, 5500 St. Mary St.., Metairie. Presenter Betty-Ann Hickey, Associate Director of the Office of Worship for the Archdiocese. In his first encyclical, Pope Leo XIV presents a Christian handbook for our world in this technocratic age. 135 years ago, Pope Leo XIII reshaped the Industrial Revolution through Rerum Novarum. 58 years ago, through Humane Vitae, Pope St. Paul VI predicted the culture of death. In MagnificaHumanitas, Pope Leo XIV builds upon these documents and presents a plan and warning for our world as it enters the AI revolution. In this workshop, we will explore the new encyclical and the message it holds as we work to move from a culture of power to a civilization of love.
