US EditionThiel Brings His Antichrist Lectures to the Vatican’s Doorstep, and Catholic Institutions Back Away
Peter Thiel’s four-lecture series in Rome explores apocalyptic themes linking science and theology amid denials from Catholic universities initially tied to the event.
- From Sunday to Wednesday this month, Peter Thiel hosted an invitation-only four-lecture Antichrist series in Rome, following the blueprint of a prior San Francisco program.
- Thiel, long engaged with apocalyptic themes, patterned the Rome talks on a prior San Francisco four-part lecture series, framing Antichrist and Armageddon as existential risks anchored in science and technology.
- Italian Vincenzo Gioberti Cultural Association and the Cluny Institute at the Catholic University of America jointly organized the invitation-only lectures, with the Gioberti group confirming its mission of classical and Christian thought while the Cluny Institute is incubated at CUA.
- Amid Italian media reports, the Angelicum and CUA distanced themselves; CUA said it is not sponsoring or hosting a Thiel event this month, and the Cluny Project is independent.
- From recently, Thiel helped launch Palantir Technologies, which has worked with U.S. immigration enforcement, while retaining ties to the Trump administration and funding JD Vance.
