When Pope Leo XIV released Magnifica Humanitas, his encyclical on AI, it didn't tell Catholics to fear the technology. It asked something harder of us.

The Archdiocese of Toronto spoke with our founder, Matthew Harvey Sanders, who was in Rome for its release, about what the letter asks of ordinary Catholics: moral discernment without fear or hype, honesty about who carries responsibility for what these tools quietly form in us, and why human dignity comes first. A thoughtful read if these questions are on your mind. Check the first comment for the link.

AI will outpace us. It still depends on us.

At our "Ministry in an AI Era" conference in Detroit, Jeffrey Quesnelle of Nous Research made the point plainly. AI's computing power will surpass our own, but the machine is only ever as good as the people directing it. Its raw power grows. Its dependence on us doesn't go away.

A warm thank you to the Archdiocese of Detroit for co-hosting the day with us.

Who decides the right relationship between technology and the spiritual life? On EWTN, Matthew Harvey Sanders, CEO of Longbeard and creator of Magisterium AI, argues it's a question the Church will increasingly have to answer. His starting point: technology is a means, not an end, and the end is always communion with God. His comments begin at 20:05. Watch the full program via the link in the comments.

Whoever shapes AI shapes the anthropology of the next generation. That's the argument at the heart of ThePrint's new feature on our work, and we think it's the right one.

Matthew Harvey Sanders, CEO of Longbeard and creator of Magisterium AI, told Europe's bishops that the secular framing of AI is being written right now, and that the Catholic view of the person, their dignity, freedom, and destiny, is missing from the conversation. Magisterium AI is one answer: a tool already used by priests, students, and educators for clear, doctrinally grounded answers on theology, scripture, and moral questions. Full story in the comments.

This one made our day. Folha de S.Paulo, Brazil's biggest newspaper, featured Magisterium AI in a piece about people reconnecting with God through technology. To our Brazilian users, that is your story as much as ours. Thank you, and thank you Folha for the feature. Have a read in the comments.

What does Silicon Valley make of a Pope writing about artificial intelligence? That was the heart of the conversation when our CEO Matthew Harvey Sanders joined AI:AM this week. Prakash Narayanan and Nathan Labenz host one of the shows the industry watches, and the reaction from inside the Valley to Pope Leo's encyclical is its own story worth following. Grateful to the AI:AM team for having us. The full broadcast is in the comments.

Great to see Fr. Michael Baggot, a member of our Scholarly Advisory Board, on WBUR 90.9 FM this week. His sharpest line: "Sycophancy is not the same thing as ministry." He warns we're drifting from an attention economy into an affection economy, where companies reach not just our minds but our hearts. Worth your time. Full story in the comments.

06/03/2026

Thank you to EWTN for featuring our CEO Matthew Harvey Sanders. His warning: for the first time, blue-collar and white-collar workers are under threat at the same time. The response has to match the moment. Full feature in the comments.

"They're people who have kids and care deeply about the future." That's how our founder Matthew Harvey Sanders describes the leaders of the world's biggest AI labs, in a new feature with The Catholic Register. His read on the moment: the industry itself is quietly desperate for a moral voice to step in before the technology reshapes work and society. Matthew has spent years arguing the Church can be exactly that voice. Full story in the comments.

Forbes featured Magisterium AI! The piece traces the whole journey, from a chatbot built to answer questions from Church documents to a model designed to help people navigate doctrine, moral dilemmas, and the spiritual life. Grateful to Sofia Chierchio and the Forbes team for the thoughtful telling. Full story in the comments.
