The Neo-Church Embraces the AI Idol: Magnifica Humanitas and the Abandonment of Supernatural Truth
National Catholic Register reports on the presentation of the first encyclical of the self-styled Leo XIV, “Magnifica Humanitas,” on artificial intelligence. The event, held in the Vatican’s Synod Hall, featured Christopher Olah, co-founder of the AI company Anthropic, who praised the document and called for dialogue between the “Church” and the tech industry. Leo XIV compared the impact of AI to the Industrial Revolution and called for AI to be “disarmed,” emphasizing the need for moral discernment and public control. He claimed the encyclical was born from listening to various voices, including scientists, engineers, and those concerned about autonomous weapons and biased algorithms. The event also included speeches by Cardinals Parolin, Fernández, and Czerny, as well as theologians Anna Rowlands and Leocadie Lushombo. This spectacle reveals the utter bankruptcy of the post-conciliar structure, which, having abandoned the supernatural mission of the Church, now seeks relevance by baptizing the latest technological idolatry and positioning itself as a mere “moral voice” among many in the globalist project.
