Pope Leo XIV's encyclical 'Magnifica humanitas' on artificial intelligence is generating widespread discussion among tech developers and global media, with the Pope warning humanity faces a choice between building a 'new Tower of Babel' or a civilisation where God and humanity dwell together. The Vatican's emergence as a moral authority over transformative technology signals the growing role of a unified global religious-institutional voice in shaping systems that could affect every human life — a development consistent with end-times warnings about a world religion and centralised control. This echoes Revelation 13's vision of a system controlling commerce and information, and Genesis 11's Tower of Babel, which Scripture records God himself intervened to dismantle due to humanity's unified overreach.
