Catholicism and cutting-edge technology have had a complicated relationship
over the centuries. While monasteries were often hotbeds for scientific
advancement and many theologians were also fascinated with the empirical
sciences, in the past century the church has often seemed more wary of new
technologies than supportive.

But the current Pope Francis, known for his open-minded and
forward-thinking philosophy, has been "courting Silicon Valley for years,"
report Sigal Samuel and Josephine McKenna for *The Atlantic. *They suggest
this recent collaboration between tech industries and the Vatican is partly
because both sectors have an “image problem”—the Vatican for being
regressive and tech for being unethical. But are their core values really
aligned enough for a crossover?

In one recent collaborative experiment, the Vatican sponsored a hackathon
called VHacks, which convened 120 students from around the world to develop
technology for social good. Social good is the emphasis of all Vatican tech
initiatives thus far. And (given the recent major leaks about what Facebook
is doing with our data) prompting Silicon Valley to weigh ethical decisions
more carefully might be the ultimate benefit of these endeavors. And from
the Catholic side, Stefano Marzani, a Catholic Italian entrepreneur, says:
“why should spirituality not be innovative?”
