The National Catholic Register portal reports on an EWTN Studios film, *Beyond the Machine: Josef Pieper and the Challenge of AI*, which attempts to frame the thought of the philosopher Josef Pieper as a remedy for the dehumanizing potential of artificial intelligence. The article explicitly links this film to the encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* by the usurper antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), presenting both as a unified “Catholic vision” for the technological age. It quotes extensively from Leo XIV’s encyclical and features “experts” like Therese Cory, D.C. Schindler, and various “priests” and “sisters” from institutions like the Angelicum and Notre Dame, all of whom align with the conciliar sect’s agenda. The article’s summary of Leo’s message emphasizes themes like “human dignity,” “civilization of love,” “care,” and “weavers of hope,” while Pieper’s philosophy of leisure is presented as the antidote to AI’s dehumanizing effects. This entire narrative, however, is a textbook example of the conciliar sect’s modernist strategy: co-opting pre-conciliar thought to legitimize its own apostate framework, all while ignoring the fundamental crisis of faith and the true nature of the Church’s authority. The article’s uncritical promotion of Leo XIV and its reliance on institutions like EWTN and Notre Dame reveal a profound blindness to the abomination of desolation that has occupied the Vatican since 1958.
