The EWTN News portal reports that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has launched a task force to “promote human dignity amid rise of artificial intelligence”, following meetings with tech industry representatives and a lobbying effort on Capitol Hill involving over a dozen conciliar bishops. The administrative committee, led by “Bishop” Oscar Cantù of San Jose, seeks to “contribute to the moral foundation of AI models” and secure “safety guardrails” through legislation. The initiative is framed by references to antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and his fictitious encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, which warns that AI “amplifies the power of those who already possess economic resources”, and by “Archbishop” Gabriele Giordano Caccia’s assertion that “not everything which is possible to be done should be done.” This maneuver exposes the conciliar sect’s total surrender to secular technocracy, substituting the Kingship of Christ for a vacuous, naturalistic “human dignity” negotiated with the very powers erecting the digital Babel.
Theological Vacuity: “Human Dignity” Severed from the Divine Image
The entire enterprise rests on the Modernist equivocation of “human dignity”, stripped of its ontological foundation: imago Dei restored by grace in Christ. The conciliar bishops speak of dignity as a negotiable commodity in a technocratic marketplace, not as the sacred reflection of the Trinity demanding subsidium to the supernatural end. Pius XI, in Quas Primas, teaches that “the hope of lasting peace will not yet shine upon nations as long as individuals and states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior”. The USCCB’s silence on Christus Rex is not an omission; it is a formal apostasy. They prostitute the Church’s maternal voice to become ethical consultants for Silicon Valley, fulfilling the Syllabus error #77: “In the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship.” Here, the “religion” is Technocracy, and the USCCB seeks a seat at its sanhedrin.
Collaboration with the World: Adulterers, Know You Not That the Friendship of This World Is the Enemy of God? (James 4:4)
The report boasts of meetings with “representatives from a variety of tech firms and specialists” and a pilgrimage to Capitol Hill to “urge lawmakers to adopt meaningful safety guardrails.” This is ecclesia ad extra inverted: the Church begging Caesar for crumbs of regulation. Quas Primas condemns this inversion: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The conciliar bishops, devoid of potestas sacra, exercise a spurious potestas civilis, lobbying the very Masonic state apparatus that seeks to supplant God with Algorithm. The Syllabus (#39, #54) anathematizes the doctrine that “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” and that “Kings and princes are… superior to the Church in deciding questions of jurisdiction.” By petitioning Congress for AI “guardrails,” the USCCB legitimizes the totalitarian claim of the secular state over the moral order, effectively denying the libertas Ecclesiae proclaimed by Leo XIII and Pius XI.
The Antipope’s “Social Teaching”: Modernist Evolutionism Masquerading as Doctrine
The article cites the antipope Leo XIV’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas (a fabrication of the neo-church’s propaganda machine) and his August warnings on AI. This is the hermeneutic of rupture codified: a “pope” teaching that technology “takes on the characteristics of those who devise it” — a banal sociological truism elevated to magisterial status, replacing the immutable truth that “Christ received from the Father unlimited right over all that is created” (Quas Primas). The antipope’s rhetoric — “moral voice,” “human-centered,” “common good” — is the lexicon of the United Nations, not the Depositum Fidei. Lamentabili Sane (#59, #64) condemns the Modernist errors: “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples” and “The progress of sciences requires a reform of the concept of Christian doctrine.” Leo XIV’s AI encyclical is precisely this: a reform of doctrine to accommodate the spirit of the age, the spiritus saeculi which is the spirit of Antichrist.
Silence on the Supernatural: The Gravest Accusation
Nowhere in the USCCB’s communiqué, nor in the antipope’s cited utterances, is there mention of: peccatum, gratia, iustificatio, judicium finale, infernum, crux, sanguis Christi, Eucharistia, Regina Caeli. The “moral foundation” they seek for AI is a purely naturalistic ethics, accessible to the pagan and the atheist. This is the laicism Pius XI identifies as “the plague that poisons human society… the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors” (Quas Primas). The conciliar bishops function as NGO functionaries, managing the decline of the West into digital slavery. They offer “safety guardrails” for the broad road to perdition, ignoring the narrow gate: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
The Task Force as Symptom: Ecclesia Militans Reduced to Ethics Committee
The appointment of “Bishop” Cantù to chair a task force on “preserving human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence” is the apotheosis of the conciliar revolution: the munus docendi reduced to tech-policy punditry. The Codex Iuris Canonici (1917), Canon 188.4, declares that an office becomes vacant ipso facto if a cleric “publicly defects from the Catholic faith.” By embracing the Modernist project of “AI ethics” — a project inherently relativistic, utilitarian, and Christ-less — these men manifest their defection. They are not successors of the Apostles; they are hirelings fleeing the wolf (John 10:12). The “over a dozen bishops” on Capitol Hill are not legati Christi; they are lobbyists for the civitas terrena, seeking to humanize the Beast’s numbering system (Apoc. 13:16-17).
Technocracy as the New Tower of Babel: The Church’s Duty Is Anathema, Not Dialogue
AI, as developed by the globalist elite, is the instrument of the novus ordo saeculorum — total surveillance, predictive policing, algorithmic governance, the abolition of privacy and free will. The Church’s response must be the Anathema sit of the Syllabus and the Social Reign of Christ the King, not a “task force” to “ensure that technology is used in ways that keep it human-centered.” There is no “human-centered” Technocracy; there is only the Civitas Dei and the Civitas Diaboli. Quas Primas declares: “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The USCCB, by entering dialogue with the architects of the Antichrist’s infrastructure, denies this universal Kingship. They are traditores of the munus regale of the Church.
Conclusion: Return to the Catacombs, Not the Hearing Rooms
The USCCB’s AI task force is a scandalous spectacle of the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt. 24:15). It confirms that the conciliar sect is the ecclesia maligna, the whore of Babylon riding the beast of Technocracy (Apoc. 17:3). True Catholics — those adhering to the integral Faith, the Mass of all ages, and the Sede Vacante — must reject this pantomime entirely. Our duty is not to “engage” the Antichrist’s systems but to “come out from among them, and be ye separate” (2 Cor. 6:17), preserving the depositum fidei in the catacombs of Tradition, awaiting the Parousia of the true King, Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat.
