On Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 6 p.m., join Villanova University’s Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest for a free in-person panel conversation on the impact papal encyclicals have had on social movements throughout the world.

Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, made waves with its attention to issues of labor, AI, warfare and legacies of slavery. But where does this latest work fit into the broader history of modern popes writing for the public? 

This conversation will be moderated by Colleen Mitchell, PhD, associate director of outreach for the Augustinian Institute and assistant teaching professor, Political Science. Register here.

Featuring:

- Francesco Cesareo, PhD, Villanova University
- Janine Giordano Drake, PhD, Indiana University Bloomington
- Massimo Faggioli, PhD, Villanova University
- Ines Murzaku, PhD, Seton Hall University
