AI and the Crisis of Work: The Neo-Church Offers Gen Z Stones Instead of Bread
National Catholic Register portal reports on the anxieties of young Catholics regarding artificial intelligence and the job market, framed within the context of the new encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* from the antipope Leo XIV. The article presents a series of interviews with Gen Z Catholics who express frustration, uncertainty, and even a sense of “betrayal” as they face an economy increasingly dominated by AI-driven automation. While the encyclical pays lip service to the “dignity of the human person,” the entire discussion remains trapped within a naturalistic framework that reduces man to an economic unit and offers no supernatural remedy for the crisis of modernity. The article’s silence on the true causes of societal decay — apostasy, the rejection of Christ the King, and the modernist revolution — reveals the spiritual bankruptcy of the conciliar sect.
