When asked about an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez presidency, Thiel says that he worries about there being a “woke American pope” — Leo XIV — and a “woke American president,” creating a dystopian “Caesar-Papist fusion”.

He even told JD Vance that he should keep his allegiance to Rome purely perfunctory.

Pope Leo XIV was clear: Don’t let technology raise you.

He offered Catholic teens advice on AI, friendship, and the importance of staying human in a digital world:

“These tools are powerful, but they can shrink us if we’re not careful. They can make us less curious, less brave, and less human.”
Pope Leo to US Teens: Use AI Wisely, Don’t Let Tech Replace Real Friends
From his starter word on Wordle to warnings about AI dangers, Pope Leo spoke directly to young Americans about relationships, prayer, and why no political party owns the Church.

Pope Leo XIV met with Amy Klobuchar this morning. That's the second Democratic politician he's met this week.

To date, no Republican Member of Congress has visited the Holy Father. And notably, though over 40 heads of state have spoken to the pope, President Trump has yet to call him.

Pope Leo XIV just issued his strongest climate warning yet — speaking out twice in 24 hours, once to world leaders at COP30 and again from St. Peter’s Square.

His message is blunt: the planet is crying out, and political delay is now a moral failure.
