Vatican Radio’s Naturalistic Celebration of Apostasy

VaticanNews portal reports on Vatican Radio’s 95th anniversary celebrations coinciding with World Radio Day 2026. The article promotes seven multilingual programs discussing artificial intelligence under the theme “AI is a tool, not a voice,” featuring speakers from post-conciliar structures like Radio Veritas Asia and Radio France. It nostalgically recalls the station’s 1931 founding by Pius XI and Guglielmo Marconi while promoting its current mission of global “closeness, education, evangelization” through digital platforms. This celebration exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic replacement of supernatural faith with technological utopianism.


Naturalism Masquerading as Evangelization

The article’s central error lies in reducing the Church’s mission to a purely horizontal, technological endeavor. By framing radio as an “irreplaceable tool of closeness, education, evangelization” without any reference to the salvation of souls, the conciliar sect confirms Pius XI’s condemnation in Quas Primas: “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.” Instead, Vatican Radio promotes the naturalistic fallacy that technological reach equals evangelization, ignoring St. Paul’s warning: “Does not the potter have power over the clay?” (Romans 9:21). The featured speaker Fr. Ernest Kouadio’s specialization in “the relationship between the Church and Artificial Intelligence” constitutes blasphemous equivalence between divine revelation and human invention.

Omission of Doctrine and Rejection of Magisterial Authority

Nowhere does the article mention Vatican Radio’s systematic abandonment of Catholic teaching since Vatican II. Contrast the station’s current programming with Pius XI’s original mandate for Catholic radio: to combat “that false kind of naturalism which denies the existence of any supernatural order” (Divini Illius Magistri). The participation of Radio Veritas Asia—which disseminates Modernist theology across 15 countries—exemplifies this apostasy. St. Pius X’s Pascendi Dominici Gregis explicitly condemned the very premise of these discussions: “It is not only by her subject matter, but by her very office, that philosophy is bound to the Holy Pontiffs.” When the program features Baptiste Detombe, author of “L’homme démantelé” (The Dismantled Man), it implicitly endorses his deconstructionist anthropology condemned by Pius XII as “the cult of man in place of the cult of God.”

Subversion of Media’s Sacramental Purpose

The article’s claim that radio provides “closeness” perverts the medium’s true Catholic purpose. True Catholic communication exists to facilitate sanctification, not sociological connection. Leo XIII’s Immortale Dei defines the state’s duty to “favor religion, to protect it, to shield it under the credit and sanction of the laws.” Instead, Vatican Radio collaborates with secular broadcasters like Germany’s ARD and Austria’s ORF—institutions promoting abortion and gender ideology—thus violating the 1917 Code of Canon Law §2339: “Persons promoting forbidden societies [like Freemasonry] incur excommunication.” The Polish segment’s inclusion of Radio Plus (owned by Eurozet, a commercial conglomerate) confirms the conciliar sect’s complete surrender to market forces, abandoning Pius XI’s condemnation of “that unquenchable thirst for riches and temporal goods” (Quadragesimo Anno).

Artificial Intelligence as Idolatry

The theme “AI is a tool, not a voice” constitutes theological treason by placing technology on parity with divine revelation. Quas Primas declares Christ’s absolute dominion: “He is King of hearts, too, by reason of His ‘charity which exceedeth all knowledge.'” By contrast, the article promotes AI as a neutral instrument rather than warning against its use in distorting truth—a direct violation of the Syllabus of Errors §58: “No other forces are to be recognized except those which reside in matter.” When the program invites Gregor Schmalzried (ARD’s AI specialist), it legitimizes broadcasters who replace sacramental life with digital simulations. The Lamentabili Sane condemned this Modernist reductionism: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).

Conclusion: Ninety-Five Years of Progressive Apostasy

This celebration exposes Vatican Radio’s trajectory from orthodox proclamation to conciliar dissolution. Founded to transmit papal encyclicals verbatim, it now platforms heretics like Fray Miguel Gullon (Latin American Association for Education and Popular Communication)—a group promoting Marxist liberation theology condemned by Pius XI in Divini Redemptoris. The absence of any mention of the Immaculate Heart or reparation for blasphemies—central to Pius XI’s reign—demonstrates the conciliar sect’s hatred of true devotion. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi, Modernists maintain “the appearance of Christianity” while destroying its substance. This radio spectacle constitutes not an anniversary, but a funeral for Catholic truth.
