Silicon Valley priest: Encyclical gives new impetus to Church–Big Tech dialogue

Fr. McGuire writes that as Church, we certainly do not agree on everything, but that it is essential that we follow Pope Francis’ idea of synod: listening, encountering, and working with people. He believes that the dialogue has been able to have with the Tech community in Silicon Valley has been very fruitful.

That dialogue must continue even when the Church’s approach is critical or prophetic, as it is in Magnifica humanitas with regard to Big Tech: the major technology companies that hold power and control “for the few,” often to the detriment of those already living on the margins of economic and social life.
