Economic & Political WeeklySummary: The Trump administration’s embrace of Christian nationalism has produced an unprecedented confrontation with the Vatican. The article traces the triangular relationship between Vice President J D Vance, his patron Peter Thiel, and a papacy that both men have publicly attacked—for different but converging reasons. Where Vance’s quarrel with Leo is political, Thiel’s is eschatological: he regards the church’s resistance to artificial intelligence and technological acceleration as the work of the antichrist. Together, they represent a new kind of power—technologically sovereign, theologically aggressive, and accountable to no one. The real war is not in Iran. It is inside America itself.-Reproduced
