VaticanNews portal reports that the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (CBCI) has praised the encyclical *Magnifica humanitas* by the antipope Leo XIV, hailing it as a “clear moral compass” for addressing artificial intelligence. Cardinal Anthony Poola, president of the CBCI, warns of AI’s effects on Dalits and urges the faithful to adopt the document as a guide for ethical technology use. This enthusiastic endorsement reveals the conciliar sect’s characteristic reduction of the Church’s mission to naturalistic social activism, abandoning supernatural truths for the idolatry of secular progress.
The Substitution of Supernatural Mission with Naturalistic Humanism
The response of the Indian “bishops” to the encyclical *Magnifica humanitas* exemplifies the post-conciliar Church’s abandonment of its divine mandate. Instead of proclaiming the necessity of salvation through Jesus Christ and His true Church, these men occupy themselves with the regulation of artificial intelligence—a purely temporal concern. The Church, established by Christ as a perfect society for the salvation of souls, has been reduced to a mere NGO offering “ethical guides” for technological development. This is a direct betrayal of the Church’s primary mission, as defined by the Council of Trent and reaffirmed by every true Pope until 1958.
The “bishops” emphasize “unemployment, inequality, surveillance, and concentration of power” as pressing challenges, yet they remain silent about the only true solution: the Social Reign of Christ the King over all nations and individuals. Pius XI, in *Quas Primas*, unequivocally stated 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 conciliar sect ignores this divine prescription, preferring to engage in dialogue with secular powers rather than demanding their submission to the Divine King.
The Idolatry of “Human Dignity” Without God
The encyclical’s reaffirmation of the “centrality of the human person, created in the image of God,” is stripped of its supernatural context and reduced to a naturalistic humanism. In Catholic doctrine, human dignity derives from man’s creation in God’s image and his ultimate end—the Beatific Vision. However, the conciliar Church, infected with the errors of Vatican II’s *Dignitatis Humanae*, has divorced human dignity from its theological foundation, making it an autonomous principle detached from God’s law.
This error is condemned by Pius IX in the *Syllabus of Errors*, which rejects the proposition that “human reason, without any reference whatsoever to God, is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood, and of good and evil” (Proposition 3). The post-conciliar Church’s obsession with “human dignity” apart from God’s revelation is a hallmark of Modernism, which Pius X condemned as “the synthesis of all errors” in *Pascendi Dominici Gregis*. By focusing on temporal welfare while neglecting the supernatural, the Indian “bishops” and their antipope perpetuate the very apostasy that has brought the Church to its current state of ruin.
Complicity in the Advance of Technological Totalitarianism
The enthusiasm for regulating artificial intelligence reveals the conciliar sect’s naivety—or worse, its complicity—in the advance of technological totalitarianism. While Cardinal Poola warns of AI’s effects on Dalits, he fails to recognize that such technology is a tool of the enemies of God, destined to consolidate the power of the ungodly. The Church’s role is not to guide the ethical development of AI but to condemn the entire secular order that produces it, calling all men to repentance and submission to Christ the King.
The *Syllabus of Errors* condemns the proposition that “the Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). By embracing the discourse of AI regulation, the conciliar Church aligns itself with the forces of secularism and globalism, rather than standing as a prophetic voice against the world. The true Church has always taught that “the friendship of the world is enmity with God” (James 4:4), yet the post-conciliar structures seek to be “relevant” to the world, thereby forfeiting their divine authority.
The Omission of Supernatural Means of Salvation
Most gravely, the entire discussion omits any mention of the supernatural means of salvation: the sacraments, prayer, penance, and the necessity of the true Faith. The “bishops” recommend the encyclical for use in parishes and educational institutions, yet these institutions are themselves centers of modernist indoctrination, where the true Mass is rarely offered and the Faith is diluted with secular ideologies. The faithful are urged to “foster a culture in which technology serves the integral development of every human being,” but there is no mention of the integral development of the soul, the necessity of sanctifying grace, or the eternal consequences of sin.
This silence is damning. As Pius XI lamented, “this kind of outpouring of evil has afflicted the whole world because very many have removed Jesus Christ and His most holy law from their customs, from private, family, and public life.” The conciliar Church’s engagement with AI ethics is a symptom of this removal, a distraction from the only true solution: the restoration of Christ’s reign in hearts, families, and nations.
Conclusion: A Call to Reject the Conciliar Apostasy
The response of the Indian “bishops” to *Magnifica humanitas* is yet another manifestation of the conciliar sect’s apostasy. By reducing the Church’s mission to social activism and ethical regulation, they betray the legacy of the true Popes and the unchanging doctrine of the Church. The faithful must reject this modernist counterfeit and return to the integral Catholic Faith, which alone offers salvation in this life and the next. As St. Pius X warned, “the progress of novelty leads to deplorable consequences,” and the conciliar Church’s embrace of secular causes is the fruit of its rejection of Tradition. Let us pray for the true restoration of the Church, when Christ the King will reign supreme over all nations and every aspect of human life.
