When the Conciliar Sect Honors an AI Ethicist, It Reveals Its Own Spiritual Bankruptcy
The VaticanNews portal reports that the Archdiocese of Seoul, under the direction of Archbishop Peter Soon-taick Chung, hosted the 20th Mystery of Life Awards Ceremony at The Catholic University of Korea, honoring among others Fr. Paolo Benanti, a “priest” and advisor to the conciliar structures on artificial intelligence ethics, who received the Achievement Award in Humanities and Social Sciences. The ceremony, attended by Cardinal Andrew Soo-jung Yeom, Auxiliary Bishop Job Yo-bi Koo, and South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok, was framed as a preparation for World Youth Day Seoul 2027 and centered on the theme of “human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence.” Fr. Benanti spoke of the “mystery of life” as something that “does not yield to mere calculation,” warning against reducing human beings to data patterns, while Archbishop Chung expressed hope that “the value of life will be more widely shared” and connected this mission to the upcoming World Youth Day. What the article presents as a noble engagement with modernity is, upon examination through the lens of integral Catholic faith, a profound revelation of the theological bankruptcy, naturalism, and apostasy that define the post-conciliar conciliar sect.
