Pope Leo’s first encyclical has arrived - and it’s taking direct aim at Artificial Intelligence, government power, war, and the future of humanity. Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray, and Robert Royal unpack the Vatican’s massive new document and debate whether the Church is offering moral clarity on AI - or embracing a technocratic vision shaped by global governance, regulation, and social engineering.

The Posse examines Pope Leo’s warnings about monopolies, surveillance, AI warfare, job loss, and “human dignity” - while also questioning the document’s treatment of sin, just war theory, Church authority, and the mission of Christianity itself. Is AI the new Industrial Revolution? Who should control it? And does this encyclical mark continuity with Pope Francis - or something entirely new?
