Where two thousand years of sacred wisdom interrogates the most disruptive technology humanity has ever built.
// About This Site
Vatican City is 44 hectares. It houses the oldest continuous institution in Western civilization. And it has been thinking about the soul longer than Silicon Valley has existed.
Now the Vatican has entered the AI conversation — publishing ethics frameworks, granting audiences to tech CEOs, and wrestling with what it means to be human in an age of machines.
This blog covers all of it. From papal encyclicals on AI to the geopolitics of an 800-person sovereign state navigating a technological revolution it never asked for.
