Magnifica Humanitas: The Usurper’s Encyclical Reduces Moral Order to Tech Industry Talking Points
Vatican News portal (June 2, 2026) reports on an interview with American tech entrepreneur Eli Pariser regarding the encyclical *Magnifica humanitas* by the usurper Leo XIV, which addresses artificial intelligence. Pariser praises the document for bringing “moral leadership” to the tech world, emphasizing human dignity and the need to shape AI to “serve humanity.” He discusses the encyclical’s wide reach among developers and its call to avoid a “new Tower of Babel,” framing the issue as a choice between AI that “knits people together” or one that “cannibalizes their relationships.” The article presents the encyclical as a timely intervention in a field dominated by economic competition and hype, suggesting it offers a path to ensure technology benefits rather than dominates humanity. However, this entire discourse operates within a purely naturalistic framework, reducing the supernatural mission of the Church to a mere ethical advisory role for Silicon Valley, while the usurper on Peter’s throne continues to occupy the Holy See without legitimate authority.
