Thiel's "Antichrist" Sermons Draw Attention in Rome

El País

Peter Thiel, the tech billionaire and founder of Palantir, is causing a stir in Rome by delivering a course titled ‘The Antichrist,’ a provocative exploration of apocalyptic themes. His attendance at a Latin mass and the secretive nature of the seminar have fueled both fascination and concern among observers. Thiel’s interest in this topic, particularly his connections to figures like Greta Thunberg, raises questions about his motivations and beliefs.

The seminar, held near the Vatican, reportedly involved a small group of attendees, including prominent figures in the tech and investment sectors, and focused on Thiel’s increasingly unconventional theories about societal collapse and the rise of a new world order. Thiel has a history of expressing controversial opinions and funding right-wing causes, and this event further solidifies his reputation as a provocateur. Critics have questioned the appropriateness of a wealthy individual promoting such potentially divisive and alarmist ideas, particularly in the vicinity of the Vatican. The exclusive nature of the event, orchestrated with the apparent cooperation of local authorities, suggests a deliberate effort to create a space for Thiel’s teachings, raising concerns about potential influence and the dissemination of potentially harmful narratives.
