Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel launched a series of controversial criticisms and predictions about AI and Western democracy during remarks at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado on Tuesday. In his most provocative statement, Thiel accused Pope Leo XIV of serving the interests of China with his stance on AI.
CNN reports that Thiel, co-founder of Palantir and PayPal and an early Silicon Valley supporter of President Donald Trump, accused Pope Leo of inadvertently functioning as a Chinese communist agent by advocating for AI regulation. He also warned of what he described as an impending democratic-socialist takeover of the United States Democratic Party.
The tech investor delivered his remarks during a nonrecorded panel alongside political scientist Francis Fukuyama. During the event, Thiel specifically targeted the Vatican and Pope Leo, the first American pope, claiming he was unintentionally advancing Chinese interests by advocating for stronger international oversight of AI. Breitbart News previously reported that in May, Pope Leo issued his first encyclical titled “Magnifica Humanitas” or “Magnificent Humanity,” declaring that artificial intelligence “must be disarmed” and calling for greater international regulation of the technology:
Pope Leo frequently returns to the theme of uniformity versus communion, stressing that the quest for uniformity is sterile, mechanistic, and prone to tyrannical abuse, while communion is voluntary and joyous, bringing people together with each other and God. The encyclical asserts that, while AI might become smarter than any one of us, it will never be able to match the unexpected and delightful achievements of all of us — the unpredictable genius of magnificent humanity.
The pope’s Tower of Babel analogy draws parallels between the development of AI and the construction of the ancient Tower of Babel, “an impressive feat” constructed with “a single language, a single technology, a single direction.”

Pope Marx II is a Muslim agent. He certainly isn’t much in to spreading Christianity or protecting it in Europe.
The pope’s an agent.
I’ve had my suspicions about the Vatican since it gave the Chinese government the authority to appoint bishops.
The current Pope is a useful idiot for the globalist cabal.
As was his predecessor.
On the other hand, the Pope just excommunicated a bunch of Catholics who just wanted to return to the Latin mass and the piety of pre Vatican II days (not the superficial socialism of Vatican II). Why? Their sin was to make bishops without bowing to the pope.
However, the Chinese church, which was sold to the Chinese communists thanks to a deal made by the pedophile McCarrick, has now broken that deal and decided to appoint a bishop without the Pope's approval.
Of course that bishop won't be excommunicated or the Chinese government reproved for doing this. Because money.
Crying school age child: "Why? Why didn't you change our name? I'm not going back there to have them chant in the halls when they see me."
The false pope is an Islamocommie Party member.
The Democrat party is dead.
They sold out to Islamists and the CCP.
If the shoe fits....
Agree 100%!
Pope John XXIII began the implosion of the Catholic Church.
It hasn’t recovered.
Does your comment mean you believe Chinese Catholic is more righteous than than the Roman one? I’m not being sarcastic. What happens if the PRC controlled Church does a better job of maintaining traditional RC doctrine?
“One never know do one?”
,,, the Pope’s constant statements are expectations from the UN. The payoff is he will be leader of a one world religion.
I just don’t get it. I am a Christian. Not a Catholic. But Pope Marx II command a billion people. And that me is surrendering the entire Christian world to Muslim and African tribal turds. WTF. There is 1000 worlds of fighting agaisnt the Islamic cesspool and this marxist turd is surrendering. He is Satan’s agent to destroy all Christianity. I am an old fart ut looks like I will be on the front lines to defend our civilization.
A One World Religion is definitely coming
Digital Currency, CBDC, Geofencing and the
Chinese Social Media Credit Score System
WILL make people submit
The Scoffers and the Mockers
are in for a huge surprise
Look no further than COVID-19(84)

,,, you’re right. A slice at a time, just like a salami.
