THE PASSION IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Guarding the flesh, disarming power, rebuilding the human
Theological commentary on the encyclical Magnifica Humanitas by Leo XIV
di Maurizio Buioni, CP
Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas offers one of the most incisive theological interpretations of the digital
age, revealing how technological transformation reaches the core of Christian anthropology. Far from demonizing
technology, the Pope exposes its idolatrous distortions: the logic of power, new invisible forms of slavery, data
colonialism, and the transhumanist temptation to transcend the flesh. In the light of the Incarnation, technology becomes
a spiritual test that may lead either to Babel or to Jerusalem, to disembodiment or to communion. The Magnificat emerges
as the hermeneutical key of evangelical reversal: against the culture of performance, it proclaims the dignity of the lowly
and the primacy of mercy. Passionist spirituality finds in this text a unique resonance: guarding wounded flesh,
recognizing the new digital crucified, and disarming power through the logic of kenosis. Magnifica Humanitas thus stands
as the programmatic manifesto of a renewed Christian humanism capable of inhabiting the digital era without being
colonized by it.
