The Neo-Church Coopts African Voices to Sanctify the AI Revolution
VaticanNews portal reports on June 4, 2026, that Professor Benjamin Rosman, a leading artificial intelligence researcher from South Africa, has endorsed the encyclical “Magnifica humanitas” promulgated by the antipope Leo XIV, arguing that African voices must be included in global AI development to ensure the technology serves “human dignity” and the “common good.” Rosman, Director of the Machine Intelligence and Neural Discovery Institute (MIND) at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, praised the encyclical’s emphasis on placing “humanity at the centre” of technological progress and warned against the risks of AI reinforcing existing inequalities, creating new forms of dependency, and eroding cultural sovereignty. He echoed the conciliar sect’s call for “stronger governance” and “greater moral responsibility,” expressing cautious optimism that wisdom and moral clarity could steer AI development in the right direction. This interview is yet another manifestation of the abomination of desolation occupying the Vatican, which, having abandoned the supernatural mission of the true Church, now positions itself as a global ethical consultant for the technological revolution, promoting a naturalistic humanism devoid of any reference to the Kingship of Christ, the necessity of sanctifying grace, or the eternal destiny of the human person.
