Catholic Ethicists’ AI Brief: Modernist Naturalism Masquerading as Doctrine

[EWTN News] reports that a group of self‑styled “Catholic” moral theologians and ethicists filed an amicus curiae brief in federal court supporting Anthropic, an AI company refusing Pentagon demands to use its systems for mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The scholars, including Charles Camosy, Joseph Vukov, Brian Boyd, Brian Green, and “Fr.” Michael Baggot, argue that Church teaching upholds Anthropic’s stance on human dignity, subsidiarity, and just war. This brief, however, represents a radical departure from integral Catholic doctrine, reducing the Faith to a naturalistic ethical framework while omitting the Social Kingship of Christ, the supernatural ends of human society, and the absolute authority of the pre‑1958 Magisterium. The scholars’ reliance on post‑conciliar authorities and their silence on the necessity of the Catholic Church as the sole mediator of salvation expose a profound apostasy, characteristic of the conciliar sect’s synthesis of all errors.
