Apostolic Exhortations: Neo-Church’s Betrayal of Truth in the Age of AI
Catholic News Agency portal (January 22, 2026) reports on a message attributed to antipope Leo XIV urging French Catholic journalists to prioritize “human connection” and amplify “voices of the vulnerable” amid artificial intelligence’s rise. The text—signed by Vatican Secretary of State Pietro Parolin—praises the late Fr. Jacques Hamel as a model of interreligious dialogue, while omitting any mention of Christ’s Social Kingship or the Church’s exclusive mediatory role. This effusive focus on horizontal relationships constitutes yet another surrender to anthropocentric modernism.
