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 humanPope 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?
