Pope Leo XIV, the first U.S. pope, has ignited global intrigue with his bold vision to reshape the Church’s role in modern economics, drawing inspiration from the transformative legacy of Leo XIII.
With Pope Leo XIV's inauguration underway, global attention is focused on how his pontificate could influence the intersection of theology and economics. Drawing inspiration from Pope Leo XIII’s encyclical Rerum Novarum, the new pontiff has signaled a commitment to addressing modern economic challenges rooted in social justice and human dignity.
Rerum Novarum (1891) established the Church's Social Doctrine, promoting workers' rights and equitable economic practices. Pope Leo XIV, with expertise in mathematics and law, is expected to adapt these principles to tackle modern challenges like AI and globalization.
Pope Leo XIV has already emphasized the need for a renewed evangelization in finance, technology, and economic policymaking. In his initial remarks to the College of Cardinals, he highlighted the urgency of promoting justice and fair competition.
The global economic imbalance, marked by income disparities and the dominance of Big Tech, could be a focal point of the new pope’s vision. While it remains to be seen how he will navigate these challenges, his symbolic and doctrinal messages suggest a balance between tradition and modernization.
