Disconnected or Free: The Human Direction of The Fourth Industrial Revolution
Mendoza, Cristian (Wydział Teologiczny UKSW w Warszawie, 2022)
In the first section of this article we explore some of the authors who approve or disapprove of the use of digital industry technologies and artificial intelligence, basing their observations on the consequences that this new industrial revolution has for the human person. In the second section, following some of the observations of the well-known Italian sociologist Pier Paolo Donati we question what is the real role of traditional ethics in the face of an instrumental system that is capable of directing social action on a massive scale. Finally, we consider that throughout history, when important instruments of production have emerged to the point of shaping an „industrial revolution”, warnings and teachings aimed at protecting the dignity and freedom of individuals have emerged. A good example of these teachings is the social doctrine of the Church, which has not yet pronounced itself on the digital industry or on artificial intelligence in a systematic way. Our thesis is that the magisterium has not pronounced itself on these fields, because the Church’s social teaching is awaiting the intellectual contribution of the Church’s lay faithful who are experts in these fields.
Via Veritatis: Learning to Trust with John Henry Newman
Mendoza, Cristian (Papieski Wydział Teologiczny we Wrocławiu, 2022)
This work summarizes the moments in which John Henry Newman experienced a personal conversion, which led him to a greater trust in Providence. As he writes, these moments became a kind of manifestation of God’s truth in his life. The first moment occurred when, at the age of fifteen, he came to know that God was constantly with him. He grew aware of a second conversion, when he experiences the weakness and death of his sister, which compelled him to move away from the intellectual perfectionism of the evangelical faith he professed. The third moment came after the rejection of the Oxford Movement, when Newman arrived at the conclusion that it was not the Anglican Church, but the Catholic Church, that possessed all of Christian truth and tradition. Finally, the fourth moment of conversion emerged in Newman’s Catholic period, when he was confronted with the definition of papal infallibility and showed himself to be in some contradiction with the authority of the Church. These moments allowed us to define the concept of trust in Newman’s teachings and life. We follow this author in his itinerary of reflection to underline that, although in the Catholic Church trust is related to faith and is observed in pastors, this trust is never contrary nor subjected to reason.
