Pope Francis and the Dangers of Technocracy

About this sermon

Friends, a major theme appearing throughout the teachings of Pope Francis is the danger of technocracy. In his 2015 encyclical, “Laudato si’,” he coined the term “technocratic paradigm,” using the term five times in the encyclical. Should we be concerned about our technocratic society, one dominated by tech and science and which, in turn, aims to dominate nature? That’s what I discuss with Brandon Vogt today on “The Word on Fire Show.” A listener asks, what’s the difference between the Protestant and Catholic understandings of the Church?
