Naturalistic Syncretism Masquerading as Moral Guidance
The VaticanNews portal (December 5, 2025) reports on antipope Leo XIV’s address to the “Artificial Intelligence and Care of Our Common Home” conference, organized by the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation and SACRU. The usurper of Peter’s throne declared that “new generations must be helped, not hindered” in technological engagement, advocating “coordinated action involving politics, institutions, businesses, finance […] and religious communities” to govern AI development. He posited humans as “co-workers in the work of creation” while warning against AI’s threat to “humanity’s openness to truth and beauty.” The entire discourse occurs within a purely naturalistic framework, conspicuously avoiding any reference to Christ’s social kingship or the supernatural order.
Subversion of Christ’s Universal Kingship
The address constitutes a direct violation of Pius XI’s encyclical Quas primas (1925), which dogmatically declared: “Kings and princes are bound to give public honor and obedience to Christ.” By reducing the Church’s role to merely one stakeholder among secular entities in “coordinated and concerted action,” the antipope commits the very error condemned in the Syllabus of Errors: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error #55). Pius IX anathematized those claiming “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error #80) – precisely the position advanced through this technologically utopian collaboration.
The speech’s repeated emphasis on “common good” while omitting the Regnum Christi constitutes apostasy. As Pius XI taught: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Quas primas, §19). The conciliar sect’s obsession with technological ethics without reference to humanity’s supernatural end echoes the modernist heresy condemned in St. Pius X’s Lamentabili sane exitu: “Truth changes with man, because it develops with him, in him, and through him” (Proposition 58).
Pantheistic Undertones in Creation Theology
Leo XIV’s description of humans as “co-workers in the work of creation” contains latent pantheism explicitly condemned in the Syllabus: “God is identical with the nature of things, and is, therefore, subject to changes” (Error #1). This neo-modernist formulation suggests an ongoing creation subject to human manipulation – a direct contradiction of the dogmatic teaching that God “created all things together” (Fourth Lateran Council) and that creation “was finished from the foundation of the world” (Hebrews 4:3).
The document Lamentabili sane exitu condemned the proposition that “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20), yet this pseudo-pontiff reduces technological ethics to human-centered pragmatism. His warning about AI threatening “humanity’s openness to truth and beauty” perversely inverts Catholic ontology, as Pius XII taught: “Truth does not change […] it is the duty of the Church to watch over the deposit of truth which comes from God” (Humani generis, 1950).
Abandonment of Supernatural Finality
Nowhere does the address mention the salvation of souls, the Last Things, or the necessity of grace. This silence constitutes implicit denial of the Church’s primary mission: “Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). The usurper’s exclusive focus on temporal “balanced growth” of humanity echoes the modernist error condemned by St. Pius X: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics” (Lamentabili, Proposition 63).
The speech’s call for “widespread participation” in technological governance directly opposes the monarchical constitution of Christ’s Church. As Pius VI condemned in Auctorem fidei (1794), democratic ecclesiology constitutes “heretical, scandalous, and schismatic” error. Yet the conciliar sect systematically promotes this anti-hierarchical model, extending it to secular affairs through phrases like “coordinated action involving politics, institutions, businesses.”
Systemic Apostasy Since Vatican II
This conference exemplifies the conciliar sect’s wholesale adoption of UN Sustainable Development Goals – a Masonic program antithetical to Catholic social order. The reference to “Care for Our Common Home” parrots Bergoglio’s pantheistic encyclical Laudato si’, which Pius IX’s Syllabus would have condemned as: “equating the Christian religion with false religions” (Error #18). The Centesimus Annus Foundation itself perpetuates John Paul II’s errors condemned by true Catholic theologians, including the heresy of “solidarity” replacing charity and “market economy” as moral good.
The usurper’s appeal to “generations” rather than souls reveals the conciliar sect’s anthropological heresy. As the Syllabus declares: “The Church not only ought never to pass judgment on philosophy, but ought to tolerate the errors of philosophy” (Error #11) – yet here we see philosophy wholly replacing theology. This inversion was predicted in Pius X’s description of modernists as “enemies who […] put their systems in the place of Catholic doctrine” (Pascendi, §2).
Conclusion: Technological Idolatry Replacing Faith
Antipope Leo XIV’s discourse constitutes formal participation in the “cult of man” denounced by true Pope Pius XII. By treating AI as the central challenge facing humanity rather than apostasy, atheism, and loss of faith, the conciliar sect confirms its role as “the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matthew 24:15). The complete absence of references to Christ’s Redemption, the Sacraments, or the Four Last Things reveals this structure’s utter incompatibility with Catholic Tradition. As St. Paul warned: “If any man love not our Lord Jesus Christ, let him be anathema” (1 Corinthians 16:22). True Catholics must reject this technological neo-paganism and cling to the immutable Faith preserved by bishops faithful to Tradition.
