We've reached "the pope is a Communist" levels of hysteria.
Quote:Peter Thiel: Pope Leo XIV is a Chinese Communist Agent
Billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel has accused Pope Leo XIV of acting as an agent for the Chinese Communist Party during a festival on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado, the Palantir co-founder claimed the pontiff’s recent push for global artificial intelligence oversight directly undermines U.S. strategic interests.
Thiel argued this directive inadvertently serves Beijing. He noted that while American citizens might heed the Vatican’s moral guidance, Chinese leadership will ignore the framework entirely.
Such a dynamic exclusively restricts the U.S. side of the bilateral AI arms race.
He concluded that this asymmetry effectively means the pope is working for Chinese communists, a characterization that drew laughter from the Colorado audience.
The Vatican declined to comment on the allegations.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
