Philippine Bishops’ Naturalistic Reduction of Evangelization to Human Encounter
The “Catholic” Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) held a seminar on artificial intelligence during its January 20, 2026 plenary assembly, urging that AI “must serve human encounter, not replace it.” Executive Secretary Edwin López declared that “technology serves. Communion saves,” while “Archbishop” Rex Alarcon praised collaboration with EWTN Asia-Pacific for advancing “digital mission” in service of “the Church of the poor.” The event framed evangelization as fostering “authentic relationships” through technological tools, omitting all reference to the supernatural order. This emphasis on horizontal humanism exposes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Christ’s Kingship over creation.
