@phistorians Striking similarity to later #Christian depictions of St George fighting the #dragon. Are any direct parallels known between these iconographies, or is this considered an independent development?

… #PopeLeo, originally from the #Chicago area, …has been steadily increasing his criticisms of #Trump.

…Cardinal Michael Czerny, a close advisor to Leo, said the pope is "expressing the concerns that should be in the heart of every #Christian & of every citizen."

"The Golden Rule, in other words: Do unto others as you would wish them to do unto you," said Czerny.

Cupich, who leads an archdiocese including about 2 million #Catholics, said the #Church's teachings about helping #immigrants cannot be disregarded.

"This is not some abstract value that people who say they are #Christian can easily ignore," said the cardinal. "No, this is the kind of moral imperative that is tested in the here and now."

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel

> One of the world’s most powerful technology leaders has reportedly warned that regulating artificial intelligence risks hastening the coming of the Antichrist.

> Peter Thiel, the conservative billionaire who co-founded Palantir, the data analytics group, and PayPal, the payments operator, is said to have made the comments during a lecture delivered in San Francisco this week.

> Thiel, a former donor to #DonaldTrump and mentor to #JDVance, the vice-president, said that fearing or regulating promising technology and scientific progress, including in #AI, risked courting the devil, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited people who attended the event.

> #Palantir said last week it would invest up to £1.5 billion in the #UK, creating up to 350 jobs, part of a package of announcements from US technology companies which coincided with Trump’s state visit.

> The Ministry of Defence is expected to spend up to £750 million on Palantir’s AI technology in return, which could help identify targets on the battlefield in any future war.

> The deal has prompted concerns that it could be at the expense of British companies and jobs.

> The Times has previously reported on Thiel’s devout #Christian views and their mingling with his business interests and how he is among several #SiliconValley figures who have been speaking more openly about their faith. https://archive.is/2025.09.25-151156/https://www.thetimes.com/business-money/technology/article/palantir-founder-peter-thiel-antichrist-lectures-religion-qzmpth35t #artificialintelligence #PeterThiel #conservative #billionaire #PayPal

In the Blue Room of the White House, once the cameras recording the Easter prayer service cut off, the conversation at #Trump’s dinner table turned to one of the biggest political goals for #conservative#Christian activists — eliminating a #law that banned #churches, & other #TaxExempt charitable groups, from endorsing #political candidates.

If God fearing Christians actually feared God they wouldn’t be part of the Trump cult.
