Pontifical Academy for Life: A Neo-Church Instrument of Technocratic Idolatry
The National Catholic Register portal reports that “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) appointed “Fr.” Andrea Ciucci as chancellor of the Pontifical Academy for Life on April 10, 2026. The Italian cleric, who served as the academy’s secretariat coordinator since 2016, holds a doctorate in philosophy of religion from the Pontifical University of Sant’Anselmo in Rome. Notably, Ciucci is also the general secretary of the RenAIssance Foundation, a Vatican institution promoting “ethical” perspectives on artificial intelligence, and serves as a professor at the Pontifical Theological Institute John Paul II in Rome. This appointment follows the elevation of Msgr. Renzo Pegoraro to “bishop” by Leo XIV last month. The Pontifical Academy for Life, founded in 1994 by John Paul II, functions as one of several conciliar academic institutions gathering experts to discuss issues “relevant to the Church and the world.” This appointment exposes the neo-church’s continued transformation into a technocratic apparatus serving the globalist agenda rather than the supernatural mission of the Catholic Church.
