The National Catholic Register (NCR) portal reports that the Diocese of Nashville’s Catholic Schools Office will host a talk titled “Catholic Family’s Guide to AI Safety” on September 17, 2026, featuring Megan Garcia, a mother whose son died by suicide after using an AI chatbot. Garcia met with the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost) in November 2025. Concurrently, DePaul University announced a partnership with the “Vatican Laudato si’ Center for Higher Education” to advance “integral ecology,” the National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) partnered with the Catholic University of America (CUA) for a master’s degree in moral theology, and a study from St. Mary’s University claimed Catholic college graduates are more “prepared” for AI. This flurry of activity reveals the conciliar sect’s total substitution of the supernatural mission of the Church for a naturalistic, technocratic, and ecumenical agenda, confirming its status as the abomination of desolation foretold by Christ (Matt. 24:15).
The Antipope’s Seal on a Naturalistic Agenda
The article casually notes that Megan Garcia
met with Pope Leo XIV in November 2025 during an audience with participants in a conference on child dignity and AI ethics.
This single sentence condemns the entire enterprise. Robert Prevost, a manifest heretic who upholds the novus ordo rites, the false ecumenism of Vatican II, and the religious liberty condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 77, 78, 79), possesses no jurisdiction, no authority, and no magisterium. As St. Robert Bellarmine teaches, “A manifest heretic, by that very fact, ceases to be Pope and head… he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the body of the Church” (De Romano Pontifice, Bk. 2, Ch. 30). By presenting this meeting as a credential, the Nashville diocese and NCR legitimize a usurper. The Cum ex Apostolatus Officio of Pope Paul IV declares the elevation of a heretic “null, void, and of no effect” regardless of unanimous consent. The “Vatican” referenced here is not the See of Peter but the headquarters of a paramasonic structure occupying Rome.
“AI Safety” as Substitute for Salvation: The Diocesan Farce
The Diocese of Nashville, a structure devoid of valid episcopal ordination (the Novus Ordo rite of episcopal consecration, promulgated by Paul VI in 1968, is invalid *ex defectu formae*), offers a talk on “growing dangers of AI, chatbot risks, and protecting children at home.” Notice the total silence on the dangers to the soul. There is no mention of the state of grace, the necessity of the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Traditional Latin Mass, the Rosary, modesty, or the duty of parents to educate children for eternal life. The tragedy of Sewell Setzer III is exploited to promote a technocratic paternalism worthy of the UN or WEF, not the Bride of Christ.
Pius XI in Quas Primas thundered: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The Nashville “Catholic Schools Office” shakes with the world because it has no foundation in Christ the King. It treats AI as a technical problem requiring “safety guidelines” rather than a spiritual battlefield requiring exorcism, prayer, and detachment from the world. The “Blessed Mother Mary Foundation” chaired by Garcia is a lay NGO operating outside any canonical mission (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code: public defection from faith vacates office; these lay structures usurp the role of the hierarchy). This is lay apostasy masquerading as ministry.
Laudato Si’ and the Green Religion: DePaul’s Masonic Partnership
DePaul University, a “Vincentian” institution long since severed from the True Faith, announces it will serve as
the Chicago-based partner for the Vatican’s Laudato si’ Center for Higher Education… expanding a shared commitment to advancing integral ecology and human development.
“Integral ecology” is the neologism of the apostate Jorge Bergoglio (Francis), enshrined in the encyclical Laudato Si’ (2015), which pantheistically conflates the Creator with creation and subordinates the supernatural order to a naturalistic “care for our common home.” This is the error of Pantheism condemned by Pius IX (Syllabus, Prop. 1: “God is identical with the nature of things… spirit with matter”) and the Naturalism condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis.
The “Global Alliance for Laudato si’” involving “more than 60 research and higher education institutions across 35 countries” is the academic arm of the Masonic New World Order. The “Vincentian” charism has been perverted into social work and environmentalism. Robert L. Manuel’s statement—“caring for our common home is inseparable from caring for one another”—is pure humanitarian Pelagianism. It denies “There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12, cited in Quas Primas, n. 29). The “Vatican Laudato si’ Center” is a syncretistic temple serving the religion of Man, not God.
Credentialing Apostasy: NCBC and CUA’s Modernist Degree Mill
The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) partners with the Catholic University of America (CUA) to offer a
master’s degree in moral theology and ethics… students who complete the NCBC’s National Catholic Certification Program in Health Care Ethics can transfer six credits toward CUA’s master’s degree.
Both institutions are rotten to the core. CUA, the “national university of the Catholic Church in the United States,” has been a hotbed of Modernism since the early 20th century (condemned implicitly by Lamentabili Sane Exitu, Props. 22, 58, 59: truth evolving, dogmas as human interpretations). The NCBC promotes “proportionalism” and “consequentialism” in bioethics—condemned by Veritatis Splendor (which itself is modernist but condemned these specific errors)—effectively denying intrinsically evil acts (contraception, IVF, euthanasia) under “complex circumstances.”
This degree program is a credentialing mechanism for the neo-church. It produces “ethicists” who staff hospital “ethics committees” approving the murder of the unborn and the elderly. Joe Zalot calls CUA a “trusted, faithful institution.” This is a lie. A faithful institution teaches Thomistic metaphysics, the immutable natural law, and the necessity of the Sacraments for salvation. CUA teaches phenomenology, personalism, and dissent. The “transfer of credits” is the currency of the counterfeit church, ensuring the next generation of “bioethicists” is formed in the hermeneutic of rupture.
The Pragmatic Heresy: Measuring “Success” by AI Metrics
The study from St. Mary’s University (San Antonio) provides the ideological glue:
About 44% of Catholic college graduates said they use AI at least daily… 33% said their college moderately or better prepared them to use AI… 36% expecting significant or transformative benefits compared with 28% of secular graduates.
Jason King, the director, celebrates: “greater confidence graduates of Catholic colleges express in engaging this new technology is accompanied by a stronger sense of meaning and purpose.”
This is Pragmatism condemned by St. Pius X (Lamentabili, Prop. 25: “Faith… is ultimately based on a sum of probabilities”; Prop. 26: “Dogmas… as binding in action, rather than as principles of belief”). The “meaning and purpose” found by these graduates is not the finis ultimus (Beatific Vision) but career readiness and technological fluency. The “Catholic” university has become a vocational training center for the Antichrist’s digital panopticon. The study measures output (AI usage, confidence), ignoring supernatural fruit (vocations, conversions, martyrdom, purity). It is the quantification of apostasy.
Symptomatic Conclusion: The Abomination of Desolation in Action
Every element of this NCR roundup screams “Non est hic Deus vester” (Judges 6:31 – This is not your God).
- False Hierarchy: Antipope Leo XIV validating a lay activist.
- False Mission: Diocese of Nashville replacing catechesis on the Four Last Things with “AI Safety.”
- False Worship: DePaul venerating “Mother Earth” via Laudato Si’.
- False Doctrine: NCBC/CUA selling degrees in situation ethics.
- False Metric: St. Mary’s measuring “preparedness” for the Beast’s technology.
The Syllabus of Errors (Prop. 55) condemns: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.” The conciliar sect has gone further: it has separated the Church from Christ. It has erected a counterfeit city of man—digital, green, credentialed, “safe”—where the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary is absent, the Social Reign of Christ the King is mocked, and the salvation of souls is the one metric never mentioned.
“He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters” (Matt. 12:30). These structures do not gather; they scatter the flock to the wolves of Silicon Valley and the UN. Sede vacante. Non praevalebunt.
