The Neo-Church Embraces the World’s AI Framework While Abandoning Catholic Moral Teaching
EWTN News reports that EU lawmakers have reached a provisional agreement to ban AI “nudifier” applications and systems used to generate nonconsensual intimate imagery and AI-generated child sexual abuse material. The move is framed as a defense of “human dignity” and is welcomed by the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Union (COMECE) and comes days before the anticipated release of the antipope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” on artificial intelligence. The article presents this as a harmonious convergence of secular governance and the post-conciliar structures occupying the Vatican, both ostensibly defending human dignity through technological regulation. However, this entire narrative is a masterclass in modernist evasion: it substitutes the supernatural order, the true doctrine of sin, grace, and the moral law, with a purely naturalistic framework of “fundamental rights” and “human dignity” detached from God, reducing the Church’s prophetic mission to mere collaboration with secular power structures in managing the symptoms of a civilization that has rejected Christ the King.
