Interestingly, the Latin version of the encyclica is yet to be released at the moment

Modern encyclicals aren't written in Latin anymore. They're drafted in Italian and the title is the Latin translation of the incipit.

Indeed, the beginning of the Italian text is: "La magnifica umanità creata da Dio si trova oggi..." from which, Magnifica Humanitas.

For those who don't know why that's interesting: The tradional practice for creating these kinds of texts is to first write an editio typica in Latin. This Latin text is then the basis for translations into vernacular languages.
Yeah, I don't know how they expect the people of Latin America to read this.
Well because it’s Latin America, not the US, the vast majority of people are at least bilingual anyway :)
Although, it's called Latin America many countries speak variations of spanish and Brazil speak portuguese, just because those languages derived from latin and not because there the people speak it
That was the joke :(
If it helps, I got your joke
<3
Haha don't worry, next time I'll take care :'D
The net is too infused with dumb takes that the joke becomes indistinguishable to reality.
This is true, but we also can't go around adding /s to everything. Ah well, I guess it's a risk I have to take.
There's always the time the Pope's limo got pulled over by the cops . . .
