Is AI a Tool or a Master? – Magnifica Humanitas – Church Wisdom with Fr Eamonn McCarthy & Matthias Conroy

Fr Eamonn McCarthy and Matthias Conroy continue their read-through of Pope Leo XIV's Magnifica Humanitas, moving from integral human development into the document's blunt test for any new technology: does it make us more human, or less? The conversation turns to a very practical case, whether a priest should ever let AI draft his homily, and to what Cardinal Ratzinger used to do before letting anyone senior speak in a room. They close chapter two on ecclesial accountability and open chapter three on the technocratic paradigm, the logic of efficiency that Pope Francis warned turns people into cogs.
