The EWTN News portal reports that on September 25, 2026, the self-styled “Cardinal” Michael Czerny, prefect of the so-called “Vatican Commission on AI,” and the “Bishop” Oscar Cantú of San Jose, head of the USCCB’s “Task Force on Preserving Human Dignity,” appeared on the program “EWTN News In Depth” to discuss artificial intelligence’s impact on the workforce. The interview, conducted by Montse Alvarado, president of EWTN News, centered on the familiar modernist tropes of “human dignity,” “common good,” and “care for workers,” explicitly referencing the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) and his document Magnifica Humanitas as the impetus for the USCCB task force. Czerny declared that “companies, that investors and management, owe care to the workers” and warned against pursuing “profit or win the AI race at the expense of human dignity.” Cantú echoed the sentiment, urging lab developers to keep “human dignity and the common good” at the center. The entire exchange represents a quintessential exercise in naturalistic humanitarianism, utterly devoid of the supernatural finality of man and the Social Kingship of Christ the King, confirming once again that the conciliar sect functions as an NGO for secular globalism.
The Usurper’s “Magnifica Humanitas”: A Manifesto for the City of Man
The article’s casual reference to “Pope Leo XIV’s call for cooperation in Magnifica Humanitas” reveals the foundational error: the recognition of a manifest heretic and usurper as the Vicar of Christ. Robert Prevost, installed as “Leo XIV” in 2025, is a public adherent of the conciliar errors—religious liberty, false ecumenism, collegiality, and the New Mass—each condemned by the perennial Magisterium. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice, lib. 2, cap. 30), a manifest heretic ipso facto ceases to be Pope and head of the Church, for “a non-Christian in no way can be Pope… he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian.” The 1917 Code, Canon 188 §4, confirms that any cleric who “publicly defects from the Catholic faith” vacates his office tacite, without need of declaration. Prevost’s “Magnifica Humanitas” is therefore not a papal encyclical but the private writing of a layman usurping the Chair of Peter, a document of the synagoga Satanæ (Pius IX, Quanta Cura) designed to advance the Masonic project of a “universal brotherhood” without Christ.
Czerny and Cantú: Pseudo-Prelates of the Neo-Church
Michael Czerny, a Jesuit of the post-conciliar formation, was “created cardinal” by the antipope Francis in 2019. Oscar Cantú was “ordained bishop” in 2008 within the new rite of episcopal consecration (1968), which, by its defective form and intention, casts grave doubt on the validity of orders. Even if materially valid, they possess no jurisdiction in the Catholic Church, for jurisdiction is received from the Roman Pontiff, and there has been no true Pope since the death of Pius XII in 1958. They are functionaries of the “conciliar sect,” the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matt. 24:15). Their “Commission on AI” and “Task Force on Preserving Human Dignity” are bureaucratic organs of a paramasonic structure occupying the Vatican, analogous to the “dicasteries” of a secular UN agency. When Czerny speaks of “Catholic social teaching,” he invokes the corrupted, Modernist-distorted version of Rerum Novarum and Quadragesimo Anno, stripped of their doctrinal spine: the Kingship of Christ over nations.
Reduction of the Church’s Mission to Naturalistic Humanism
The linguistic level of the interview is telling. Not once is the name of Jesus Christ invoked. Not once is the salvation of souls mentioned. Not once is the Sanctifying Grace or the Sacraments referenced. The vocabulary is purely secular: “workforce,” “industry,” “labs,” “developers,” “job loss,” “meaningful work,” “human dignity,” “common good.” This is the laicism condemned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors… It began with the denial of Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations; the Church’s authority to teach men, to issue laws, to govern nations… was denied.” Czerny’s statement—”Maybe we should say, ‘No, the question isn’t whether jobs will be lost, the question is how much is AI going to help us to create more meaningful and more human beneficial work among its achievements?'”—is pure immanentism. It reduces the telos of human labor to temporal “meaningfulness” and “benefit,” ignoring the divine mandate: Laborare est orare (to work is to pray) only when work is ordered to the glory of God and the salvation of the soul. As Pius XI teaches: “Christ reigns in the minds of men… because He Himself is Truth… He reigns also in the wills of men… because He inclines our free will and conquers it with His inspiration, so that we are inflamed for the noblest deeds.” The conciliar sect’s “social teaching” has excised the First Commandment from the public square.
The Theological Bankruptcy of “Human Dignity” Without the Divine Image
Cantú’s refrain—”at the center needs to be human dignity and the common good”—is a hollow slogan when detached from its metaphysical root. True human dignity consists in imago Dei restored by grace, oriented toward the visio beatifica. The “common good” of Catholic doctrine is bonum commune ecclesiæ, the salvation of souls, subordinated to which the temporal common good finds its true measure. St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theol. I-II, q. 90, a. 2) defines law as “an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community, and promulgated.” The “care” Czerny demands of “companies, investors and management” is a paternalistic humanitarianism, not the paterna cura of the Church which binds consciences in foro interno et externo. The Syllabus of Pius IX (Error 55) condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The conciliar sect, by adopting the language of secular ethics, has de facto embraced this condemned error, rendering the Church a mere voice in the “public square,” equal to any NGO.
