Digital Demons: Mexican Priest Warns AI Is Being Used to Fuel Satanism and Target Children
In a chilling warning that bridges the gap between cutting-edge technology and ancient spiritual warfare, a Mexican Catholic priest has declared that artificial intelligence is now being weaponized for “devil worshipping.” Father Luis Ramirez Almanza, speaking at a press conference announcing his upcoming “Course on the Ministry of Exorcism and Prayer of Deliverance” in Rome, sounded the alarm that AI chatbots and tools have become a dangerous playground for occult groups. “Artificial intelligence is a great power, a force for both good and evil, and can therefore be used for devil worshipping,” Almanza told stunned reporters. The annual exorcism training course, which is expected to draw up to 170 participants including rabbis, imams, and evangelical preachers, will for the first time place special emphasis on AI’s role among devil worshippers, specifically targeting what church officials describe as the “evil” side of artificial intelligence.
The warning grows even more disturbing as experts reveal how satanic groups are exploiting technology to cloak their activities and generate horrific content. David Murgia, who runs Catholic Risk and Insurance Services, a research group monitoring cults and fringe religious movements, disclosed that law enforcement has confirmed occult groups are using AI tools to hide their communications online. Even more alarming, Sicilian priest Father Fortunato Di Noto, who will be speaking at a session in May, revealed that occult groups in Italy are using AI to generate demonic symbols and, most disturbingly, images of children involved in satanic rites. “Using children appeals to them because it’s a form of power being exercised over the innocent,” Di Noto explained. These revelations come on the heels of Pope Leo XIV’s recent warning to priests that AI “will never be able to share the faith,” describing the technology as an “empty, cold shell” that lacks human creativity—a void that some now fear is being filled with something far more sinister.
