Summary
The article examines the tension between the Roman Catholic Church and Big Tech, framed around Pope Leo XIV's encyclical "Magnifica humanitas." It explores how AI and digital platforms shape human judgment, language, and moral reasoning, and questions whether people whose thinking has been influenced by AI can still make prudent decisions about its use. The piece contrasts the Church's model of transcendence and community with Big Tech's algorithmic, efficiency-driven worldview, asking whether these two powerful forces can coexist or must remain in opposition.
