Pope Leo Invites Atheist AI Executive to Present New Vatican Encyclical

Pope Leo XIV made the unprecedented move of inviting Christopher Olah, an atheist and co-founder of AI company Anthropic with a documented history of anti-Catholic activism, to help present his first encyclical 'Magnifica Humanitas' at the Vatican. The encyclical reframes the Church's mission around 'listening, dialogue and service' with all cultures and beliefs, drawing on secular frameworks including indigenous cosmology and AI ethics — signalling a deepening accommodation of the world's agenda over Scripture's authority. This mirrors the prophesied end-times departure from sound doctrine, where the visible church embraces a broad humanist gospel rather than the exclusive claims of Christ (2 Timothy 4:3–4; Revelation 17:1–5).
