The quote in reference:

“It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till.”

And I'm doubtful the pope's message will reach Thiel the way he hopes it will, the guy will interpret the message as an endorsement of the work underway.

Nah, I'm sure he'll just call him The Antichrist again (even though Thiel's idea of an "antichrist" doesn't match up with either the popular cultural concept or the actual biblical concept). If you listen to the guy in interviews, it becomes clear he may think he's an authority on just about anything (and that people around him unsurprisingly go the sycophantic route and accommodate that belief), but he's very clearly not. He was said to not be especially political before becoming close to Jeffery Epstein, who apparently mentored him into the warped technofascist outlook that he has now.
