AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Vatican Appointments: Pope Leo XIV named Maria Montserrat “Montse” Alvarado, president and COO of EWTN News, as prefect of the Dicastery for Communication, succeeding Paolo Ruffini and taking office Nov. 1—an unusually young, laywoman leadership move in the Roman Curia. Spain Visit & Migrants: Pope Leo begins a June 6–12 trip to Spain, including a first-ever address to the Spanish parliament and a “shoulder to shoulder” focus on migrants in the Canary Islands after deadly crossings. Slavery Apology & Reparations: In his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas,” the pope issued a historic apology for the Church’s role in legitimizing slavery, prompting support from groups like the Knights of Peter Claver and renewed calls for real atonement. AI Ethics: The same encyclical has driven global debate by urging regulation and warning against “new forms of slavery” tied to technology, while sparking viral reactions online. Church in the World: Vatican-linked events also made headlines, from a Venice Biennale Holy See Pavilion ritual performance featuring Patti Smith and Saint Hildegard of Bingen to Vatican-backed ethics work on fair inclusion in health data.
