The Neo-Church Co-opts AI Discourse While Silencing the Supernatural
National Catholic Register reports on Artur Kluz, a Catholic tech investor who claims that Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* has sparked unprecedented interest in the Church’s moral vision among Silicon Valley elites. Kluz envisions a new order of Christian “knights” from the tech world to guide the Church through the age of artificial intelligence, asserting that technology is a mirror of its creators and that wisdom must prevail over power. Yet beneath this veneer of engagement lies a profound omission: the article, and the vision it promotes, remains entirely silent on the supernatural mission of the Church, the necessity of sanctifying grace, the reality of original sin, and the absolute primacy of the salvation of souls over technological progress. Instead, it reduces the Church’s role to that of a moral consultant to secular power structures—precisely the error condemned by St. Pius X in *Lamentabili sane exitu* and by Pius XI in *Quas Primas*.
