Neo-Church Exploits AI Energy Crisis to Advance Modernist Naturalism Under Guise of Stewardship
The EWTN News portal reports that Catholic environmental advocates, operating within the structures of the conciliar sect, are pressing for regulatory safeguards on energy-intensive data centers driven by artificial intelligence expansion. Quoting officials from Catholic Charities USA, the Catholic Climate Covenant, and the Leonine Institute at the Catholic University of America, the article frames the issue through the lens of “integral ecology,” “human dignity,” and “the common good,” citing the antipope Leo XIV’s encyclical *Magnifica Humanitas* and the Vatican document *Antiqua et Nova* as doctrinal authorities. The piece reduces the Church’s mission to resource management and utility billing disputes, presenting technological ethics as a matter of “digital sobriety” and renewable energy commitments. **This is not Catholic social teaching but naturalistic humanitarianism masquerading as theology, a complete substitution of the supernatural Kingship of Christ for the technocratic management of a dying world.**
