The Church of the Poor and the Technocratic Paradigm

Those who wield private control over digital technology and war-making capabilities are drifting further from the public restraints formerly imposed by nation-states.

In his analysis of this development, Pope Leo XIV warns about “the technocratic paradigm,” a rapidly expanding world system and consciousness empowered by humanity’s adoption of a logic of efficiency, control, and profit.

This program will look at how the Pope proposes to lead a return of the global church to its apostolic origins to help redirect the trajectory of our technological revolution toward the common good of all humankind.
