Bishop of Albenga–Imperia delivers homily for All Saints' Day

The Bishop of Albenga–Imperia delivered a homily for the Solemnity of All Saints on November 1, 2026, at St. Michael's Cathedral in Albenga.

During the liturgy, the bishop addressed modern technological trends, specifically transhumanism and posthumanism. He noted that while technology promises to optimize life through algorithms and data, the Christian concept of being more than human is found in holiness rather than machines.

The bishop referenced paragraph 115 of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, which discusses cultural narratives that view human biology and fragility as errors to be corrected through technical integration. He stated that faith teaches that humans do not achieve salvation by fleeing from their own limits or delegating evolution to artificial optimization. He described the saints not as technically perfected individuals, but as real people.
