The Catholic Church, a venerable institution with a history spanning centuries, remains steadfast in its belief that artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace the expertise required to execute molestation on a global scale. While technological advancements continue to shape our world, the Church emphasizes that AI lacks the profound human qualities required to be so evil and far from good.
The Church acknowledges the potential benefits of AI in administrative tasks, data analysis, and even assisting with pastoral care. However, it asserts that AI can never replicate the spiritual connection, manipulation, and personal lack of morals that wide-scale, globally coordinated pedophilia requires. The essence of religious practice, with its emphasis on empathy, compassion, and human interaction, transcends the capabilities of machines.
The Church’s stance reflects a broader sentiment that, despite AI’s advancements, the human soul and its quest for meaning will always remain beyond the realm of artificial intelligence. Instead of replacing the evil, horrible Catholic Church’s only unique skill, AI may offer tools to facilitate religious practice and community engagement, further enriching the spiritual experience for believers.
