Musk's statement that with AI we are "summoning the demon" will be ten years old this year so those tasked within the Vatican with studying such things have had ample time for careful consideration.
Most disturbing to me in this Papal message is the paragraph titled "Shall we turn swords into ploughshares?"
Anytime the phrase "grave concern" is used, whether diplomatically, ethically, morally, or otherwise, it generally means the event has happened, the decision was made, the behavior was expressed, or the news was delivered.
For Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems ("LAWS") to be specifically referenced means the Vatican probably has reports of its use in combat, albeit experimentally, and not just drones and remote piloting of UAVs.
