The Conciliar Sect’s Empty Humanism Masquerading as Ethical AI Guidance
The Catholic News Agency portal (December 5, 2025) reports on a meeting between the usurper of the Apostolic See, Jorge Bergoglio (“Leo XIV”), and members of the Centesimus Annus Pro Pontifice Foundation and Strategic Alliance of Catholic Research Universities. The article presents Bergoglio’s concerns about artificial intelligence’s impact on human critical thinking, discernment, and interpersonal relationships. He questions how AI might serve the “common good” rather than enrich powerful elites, emphasizing human dignity through vague concepts like “authentic relationships” and “unconditional love.” The text concludes with Bergoglio’s call for “widespread participation” in AI governance while expressing particular concern about AI’s effects on youth development. This spectacle of technological ethics without theological substance exemplifies the conciliar sect’s complete abandonment of supernatural perspective.
Naturalism Disguised as Ethical Concern
The address commits the precise error condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: “Human reason, without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil” (Proposition 3). Bergoglio’s entire framework reduces the human person to a series of naturalistic functions – “critical thinking,” “interpersonal relationships,” and neurological development – while completely omitting the imago Dei (image of God) and man’s supernatural destiny.
Nowhere does the address mention that true human dignity flows exclusively from baptismal grace and incorporation into Christ’s Mystical Body. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “Christ has authority not only as God but as Man over all creatures, which He has purchased with His Blood.” The conciliar sect’s reduction of man to his cognitive and social functions constitutes anthropological heresy, denying the capax Dei (capacity for God) that defines human nature.
The Silence That Condemns: No Mention of Christ’s Kingship
Bergoglio asks “How can we ensure that the development of artificial intelligence truly serves the common good?” while systematically ignoring Pius XI’s teaching that “the common good is only possible when individuals and states submit to the reign of Christ the King” (Quas Primas). The term “common good” appears stripped of its Thomistic meaning – bonum commune ordered toward man’s supernatural end – and redefined as secular social utility.
This deliberate omission continues the conciliar revolution’s rejection of Christus Rex. As the same encyclical warns: “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.” Bergoglio’s technological ethics operate within the modernist framework condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi – treating religion as mere sentiment disconnected from objective truth.
False Anthropology Breeding False Solutions
The address claims human dignity lies in “our ability to reflect, choose freely, love unconditionally” – a Pelagian assertion denying original sin’s effects on human faculties. The Church has always taught that without sanctifying grace, man’s intellect is darkened and will weakened (Council of Trent, Session V). Bergoglio’s “unconditional love” directly contradicts Christ’s conditional promise: “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).
This flawed anthropology produces the address’s most dangerous proposition: teaching youth “to use these tools with their own intelligence” rather than forming them in obedience to divine law. Pius XI’s Divini Illius Magistri explicitly condemns such educational autonomy: “Every method of education founded wholly or in part on the denial or forgetfulness of original sin and of grace, and relying on the sole powers of human nature, is unsound.”
Continuity With Conciliar Apostasy
The emphasis on “widespread participation” and hearing “the most humble” reveals the sect’s democratic heresy – directly condemned by Pius VI in Auctorem Fidei against the Synod of Pistoia’s similar errors. The Church has always taught that truth isn’t determined by popular opinion but received through Apostolic Tradition (1 Timothy 6:20).
Bergoglio’s technological ethics follow the same modernist pattern as Vatican II’s Gaudium et Spes – creating a false dichotomy between “accumulating wealth” and serving “common good” while ignoring the metaphysical root of all social disorders: rebellion against Christ’s sovereignty. As Leo XIII warned in Humanum Genus: “All the evils which now afflict the Church trace their origin to naturalism and the denial of Christ’s authority over societies.”
Satanic Subversion Through Technological Utopianism
The most telling omission is Bergoglio’s failure to warn about AI’s potential to accelerate the cultus homo (cult of man) – the satanic substitution of human ingenuity for divine providence. Pius IX’s Syllabus condemns precisely this error: “Human reason is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood… and suffices by its natural force to secure men’s welfare” (Proposition 3).
True Catholic response to AI would begin with the Angelic Doctor’s principle: “Gratia non tollit naturam, sed perficit” (Grace does not destroy nature but perfects it). Technology must serve man’s supernatural end through:
- Strengthening families as domestic churches (Casti Connubii)
- Facilitating knowledge of divine truth (Dei Filius)
- Supporting the social reign of Christ the King (Quas Primas)
Instead, Bergoglio offers empty platitudes about “authentic relationships” while presiding over the destruction of the sacraments that alone make communion possible. His concern for children’s “spiritual life” rings hollow from one whose sect promotes Communion for adulterers and idolatrous Pachamama worship.
Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation Standing in the Holy Place
This address epitomizes the conciliar sect’s modus operandi: using Catholic vocabulary to preach humanist content. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, modernists employ “ambiguities and equivocations to deceive the simple.” The true danger isn’t AI concentrating power in elite hands – it’s the Vatican II sect concentrating spiritual error in minds worldwide.
Until the Roman usurpers publicly abjure their heresies and restore the Social Kingship of Christ, no technological ethics from their lips can claim Catholic legitimacy. As the Apostle commands: “If anyone preaches to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be anathema” (Galatians 1:9).
