Modernist Hijacking of Aquinas Exposes Post-Conciliar Intellectual Bankruptcy
EWTN News reports (January 28, 2026) on German theologian Thomas Marschler’s attempt to enlist St. Thomas Aquinas in contemporary AI debates. The article presents Marschler, holder of a dogmatics chair at the University of Augsburg, suggesting Aquinas offers insights into AI’s philosophical implications while promoting chatbots impersonating the Angelic Doctor. This constitutes a sacrilegious reduction of Thomistic thought to serve modernist agendas.
