POPE LEO XIV’s FIRST ENCYCLICAL has already TRIGGERED a GLOBAL EARTHQUAKE!

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]It was May 15th, 1891.

[00:00:03]The world was changing at a speed no one had ever seen before. Factories devoured men, children worked 12-hour days, socialist movements promised heaven on earth.

[00:00:16]And at that moment, a 76-year-old pope sat down at his desk and wrote What he wrote is called Rerum Novarum and it changed history.

[00:00:28]By the end of this video, you'll understand why that date, May 15th, 1891, is the key to understanding what's happening in the Vatican these days.

[00:00:40]And because the answer could be the most uncomfortable of the entire pontificate of Leo the 14th.

[00:00:48]Let's reconstruct the sequence.

[00:00:51]Leo XIII became pope in 1878 at the age of 68, when the men of that generation already considered themselves old.

[00:01:01]The world into which he ascended the throne of Peter was unrecognizable from that of his predecessors.

[00:01:09]Manchester produces more cotton in a day than all of England did in a year half a century earlier.

[00:01:16]Six-year-old children work in the mines.

[00:01:19]English and German cities are filling up with neighborhoods where people live in conditions that not even the slaves of antiquity had known.

[00:01:28]Leo XIII looks at this world and does something that his critics consider an intrusion and his admirers a silent revolution.

[00:01:39]He writes.

[00:01:40]He wrote 300 years after the Council of Trent. 32 years before the radio transmitted the first human voice. 66 years before Sputnik orbited the Earth.

[00:01:52]Rerum Novarum says three fundamental things that no one wanted to hear at the time. First, workers have inalienable rights that no boss can take away.

[00:02:05]Second, socialism is not the answer because it denies private property and destroys the family.

[00:02:13]Third, the church stands between unbridled capitalism and Marxist revolution and offers a third way, human dignity founded on the gospel.

[00:02:25]This document became the starting point for the church's social doctrine.

[00:02:29]This document transformed Leo XIII into one of the most cited popes in modern history.

[00:02:36]And that document was signed on May 15th, 1891.

[00:02:40]Exactly that date. Exactly that day.

[00:02:44]The real story begins here.

[00:02:47]On May 15th, 2026, exactly 135 years after Rerum Novarum, at almost the same time, another Leo signed a document.

[00:02:58]He's not called the Pope of factories.

[00:03:00]He's called the Pope of artificial intelligence.

[00:03:04]The document is called Magnifica Humanitatis.

[00:03:07]And it talks about safeguarding the human person in the age of artificial intelligence.

[00:03:14]Leo XIV is the first American Pope in the history of the church. He was a mathematician before becoming a priest.

[00:03:23]And Time magazine included him in 2025 among the 100 most influential people in the world in the field of artificial intelligence.

[00:03:33]And on May 25th, at the presentation of his first encyclical, on stage with Cardinals Fernandez, Czerny, and Parolin, will be Christopher Olar, co-founder of Anthropic, one of the most advanced and controversial artificial intelligence companies on the planet.

[00:03:53]Pay attention to this detail.

[00:03:55]Ola's presence isn't a matter of protocol.

[00:03:58]Anthropic is the company that the Pentagon, the US Department of Defense, has classified as a risk to the military supply chain.

[00:04:08]This is the first time in history that such a designation has been applied to an American technology company.

[00:04:15]Donald Trump's administration has blocked contracts between Anthropic and the Pentagon's military suppliers.

[00:04:23]And the Pope, the first American in history to sit on the throne of Peter, has decided to present his first encyclical with the company's co-founder.

[00:04:33]What we're seeing is just the surface.

[00:04:36]We're not talking about a technical detail in the choice of guests. We're talking about a geopolitical stance that has shaken newsrooms around the world.

[00:04:47]Bloomberg, The Washington Post, Fortune, PBS, they all led with this story on May 18, 2026.

[00:04:58]Not because the encyclical on artificial intelligence is scandalous in itself, but because the symbolism is powerful and unmistakable.

[00:05:07]The Pope is taking the stage with the company the US government has declared dangerous.

[00:05:13]And it is here that history reveals its true nature.

[00:05:17]Leo XIII in 1891 stood between capitalism and Marxism to defend humanity.

[00:05:25]Leo XIV in 2026 places himself between the Pentagon and Silicon Valley, but not on the side [music] many expected.

[00:05:35]The question traditionalists have been asking for months is this.

[00:05:40]When the Pope chooses to take the stand on the issue of artificial intelligence, does he do so to defend humanity or to be relevant.

[00:05:50]The issue isn't artificial intelligence itself.

[00:05:53]This year, Leo the 14th faces enormous crises.

[00:05:58]The Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X is approaching the episcopal consecrations on July 1st in Acon.

[00:06:07]The document of the Senate Study Group 9 imploded under criticism.

[00:06:12]Traditionalist Custodies remained [music] untouched.

[00:06:16]The German Synodal Path was not halted.

[00:06:20]And the first encyclical of the pontificate isn't on any of these issues. It's on artificial intelligence.

[00:06:27]Do you understand the significance of this?

[00:06:30]Leo XIII wrote Rerum Novarum because there was a real emergency before him.

[00:06:36]Workers were losing their dignity in the factories.

[00:06:39]Leo the 14th wrote the Magnificat Humanitatis, but the greatest emergency traditionalist Catholic see isn't in artificial intelligence.

[00:06:49]It's in faith.

[00:06:51]It's worth [music] dwelling on one point in particular.

[00:06:54]In his message for World Communications Day, published on May 18th, Leo the 14th wrote, "The faces and voices of human beings are sacred."

[00:07:04]He warned that artificial intelligence systems simulating voices, faces, emotions, and relationships are invading the deepest level of human communication.

[00:07:16]The words are right. The concern is real.

[00:07:20]But the question none of the mainstream media has asked is this.

[00:07:25]If the Pope believes that faces and voices are sacred, why is the defender of this sacredness the co-founder of the company that simulates those faces and voices?

[00:07:36]History, as we know, doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.

[00:07:41]In 1891, Leo XIII was surrounded by intellectuals who urged him to choose either capitalism or socialism.

[00:07:51]He rejected both options and pointed to a third way, human dignity >> [music] >> founded on the gospel.

[00:07:58]That was his greatness, not his ability to be relevant to his time, but his ability to offer his time something that his time alone would never have found.

[00:08:10]The question is, is Leo the 14th doing the same thing at this moment?

[00:08:15]Or is he choosing to be relevant to Silicon Valley instead of prophetic to the church?

[00:08:21]The answer won't come on May 25th when Magnificat Humanitatis is published. The answer will come in the months that follow.

[00:08:30]Perhaps it too will change history.

[00:08:33]But Catholics know something that AI commentators don't.

[00:08:37]The church has already given the definitive answer to the question of humanity.

[00:08:43]It's called the gospel. It's called tradition. It's called the mass of all time.

[00:08:49]And no machine, no matter how intelligent, will ever be able to write what the blood of Christ has already signed.

[00:08:58]What do you think? If you like the video, comment amen. God bless you.
