Vatican-Linked Exorcism Course to Probe AI Threats as Organizers Warn of Satanist Misuse

The Vatican-affiliated training will probe alleged AI misuse, with organizers noting that direct links to satanic rites remain unproven.

Overview

  • At a Rome press conference, Father Luis Ramirez Almanza said May’s Course on the Ministry of Exorcism will address AI-related risks to deliverance ministry.
  • Speakers plan to present claims that satanist and occult groups use AI to create ritual symbols, generate images of children, and conceal communications, citing police briefings.
  • Meter Association and the Internet Watch Foundation report steep growth in AI-generated child sexual abuse content in 2025, including 8,213 identified children and 3,440 videos.
  • Coverage underscores that no verified evidence shows AI-generated abuse imagery being produced specifically for satanic rituals or rites.
  • The Vatican‑affiliated program draws roughly 170 cross‑faith participants and coincides with broader warnings from Pope Leo and Bishop Paul Tighe about AI’s societal risks.
