I wonder what language the encyclical was written in. Could it be the first one originally English?

The name of an encyclical is the start of it. Does "Magnifica humanitas" sound like English to you?
I think the parent comment is wondering if it was originally drafted in English and then translated to Latin.
Aren't popes generally fluent in Latin? Being mastermind theologians and all?
