Wow, Katie! You've outdone it! After all the BS and mediocre hot takes I've read around about the Encyclical, I can finally read something incredibly helpful, beatiful, which gives me lots of ideas and thinking to develop. Thank you!

This was great - you've experienced good and bad with AI and you therefore heard Pope Leo from a very unique place.

If you liked Magnifica Humanitas, I think you'd like Laborem Exercens, which is about human work - its distinction between the objective and subjective sides of work (objective = the things produced, subjective = how the work grows the worker) is now forever part of how I think about work.

That encyclical also has the best definition of just wage of any encyclical, but "the intersection of money and virtue" is my passion, not necessarily yours =)

JPII wrote an apostolic letter on the sabbath called Dies Domini, I read it probably 10 years ago and can't remember many of the themes, but that one might be up your alley as well.
