Vatican’s AI Conference: Human Dignity Without Christ the King
The Vatican News portal reports (November 12, 2025) on a conference titled “AI and Medicine: The Challenge of Human Dignity,” organized by the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations (FIAMC) and the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV). Speakers including “Msgr.” Renzo Pegoraro, Dr. Otmar Kloiber, and Professor Therese Lysaught emphasized balancing technological advancements with “human dignity,” warning against “humanizing technology” or “mechanizing humanity.” Kloiber praised AI’s potential for cheaper healthcare access, while Lysaught celebrated “proactive” bioethics. The conference epitomizes the conciliar sect’s surrender to naturalism, reducing man to a data point while feigning concern for his spiritual destiny.
Naturalism Masquerading as Catholic Ethics
The conference’s core error lies in its anthropocentric framing of “human dignity” detached from Christus Rex. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas (1925), “Christ reigns in the minds of men… in the wills of men… [and] of hearts” (n. 17). Yet speakers reduced patients to “complex lived experiences” of “emotions and fears,” ignoring the immortal soul’s supremacy. Pegoraro’s claim that medicine must avoid “mere numerical data” rings hollow when the PAV itself—founded by John Paul II—has long promoted demographic control policies contrary to Casti Connubii (1930).
Lysaught’s enthusiasm for “Star Trek-like” medical technologies reveals a scientistic mentality condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors: “Divine revelation is imperfect, and therefore subject to a continual and indefinite progress, corresponding with the advancement of human reason” (Proposition 5). The absence of Quas Primas‘ teaching that “the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (n. 18) exposes this gathering as a pagan symposium disguised as Catholic dialogue.
Theological Vacuum and Silent Apostasy
Nowhere did speakers reference:
– The finis ultimus of medicine: preparing souls for eternity
– The necessity of grace for ethical discernment
– The Church’s condemnation of transhumanism (Lateran V, Apostolici Regiminis)
Kloiber’s concern that AI might “reduce human interaction” ignores the deeper crisis: post-conciliar “clinics” where abortionists and euthanasia practitioners operate with “bishop”-approved licenses. When Pegoraro claims the Church shouldn’t “immediately declare tools like ChatGPT ‘good’ or ‘bad’,” he defies Pius X’s mandate in Lamentabili (1907) to condemn errors “recognizing and discussing these dynamics” (Proposition 3).
The Pontifical Academy for Life—founded in 1994—embodies the hermeneutic of rupture. Its former president Vincenzo Paglia blessed a homosexual “civil union” exhibit, while its current head Pegoraro presides over an entity that praised Canada’s euthanasia regime as “progress” in 2022. How can an academy supporting murderers lecture on “human dignity“?
Mechanized Salvation: AI as New Messiah
Lysaught’s delight in “positive developments” from India and Catalonia ignores these regions’ brutal persecution of Catholics. Her praise for AI “promoting healthcare” parallels the conciliar sect’s “field hospital” ecclesiology—treating symptoms while ignoring the disease of sin. The conference’s silence on in vitro fertilization, genetic manipulation, and euthanasia—all enabled by AI—proves its complicity with what Pius XII called “the cult of the body” (Address to Midwives, 1951).
When Kloiber claims “citizens have a crucial role in defining AI’s direction,” he echoes the condemned proposition that “the State is the source of all rights” (Syllabus, Proposition 39). True authority flows from Christ the King, not democratic consensus. The absence of Rerum Novarum‘s warnings about “rapacious usury” (n. 35) in AI-driven healthcare commodification reveals this conference’s alignment with globalist exploitation.
Conclusion: No King but Caesar
This gathering exemplifies the conciliar sect’s capitulation to modernity. As the Syllabus anathematized those believing “the Roman Pontiff can reconcile himself with progress, liberalism, and modern civilization” (Proposition 80), so we condemn this sacrilegious alliance between “medical professionals” and technocratic pagans. Until AI serves Christ the King—not human whims—it remains a tool of Antichrist’s kingdom.
