On May 27, 2026, the Catholic Founders Guild held a Topic Call where we dove into Pope Leo XIV’s new encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. This document is all about Catholic social teaching in the age of AI. The big idea? Our tech and business work needs to be aimed at God's glory, not just our own success, recognizing that salvation and mercy are available in the AI age.
The topic call is a recurring monthly event where we discuss relevant topics about running the business. To join future events, become a member of the Catholic Founders Guild today.
One-Liner Takeaway
For those who aren’t paid members yet, here’s the quick one-liner takeaway:
“The era of AI calls Catholic founders to active engagement, using technology as a God-given talent to build a civilization of love and ensure human flourishing.”
The key idea is simple: Tech (including AI) is one of the talents that we, in our time, have been given. We are called to use it and steward it well, not just to make money, but to bring more souls with us to heaven. This means our wealth and talents, both professional and financial, are meant to be multiplied for God’s kingdom (the Parable of the Talents). As entrepreneurs, we do a lot of good by creating value and employing people—this is a powerful form of service that is sometimes better than just giving the money away. Ultimately, this is the success that we can “take with us” when we die: the souls we helped bring to heaven.
Alright, the rest of this session is exclusively for CF Guild members. If you’d like to join future calls, consider upgrading to a paid membership today.
The Catholic Founders Guild is an association of Catholic Biz owners who believe that their business is meant to be an extension of God’s will in the world.
