Inri Cristo, born Álvaro Theiss, spelled Thais in Portugese, Indaial in 1948, is a Brazilian self-proclaimed religious leader who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. His parents, Wilhelm and Magdalena Theiss, were German farmers. Álvaro Theiss studied for three years at the Álvaro Theiss, Blumenau, Brazil. Later he was hired as an audio operator at a local radio station. After moving to Curitiba 1969 he became famous as a persona in comedy television programs and lively religious debates on TV Morena, acting as a self-professed prophet and astrologer, introducing himself as "Iuri de Nostradamus". In 1979 he heard a divine voice that insured that he was the same Christ crucified two thousand years ago. The voice also said that the second letter of his name, the "u" in "Iuri", would henceforth be upside down, making his name "INRI", the acronym for Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum. Inri Cristo immediately launched a pilgrimage over 27 countries spreading his message, dressed in a white tunic and sandals, announcing that his mission would be accomplished in the dawn of a "New Age of peace". He established a new mystical order, SOUST, Suprema Ordem Universal da Santissima Trindade, which he calls "the formalization of the promised Kingdom of God on Earth". On April 20, 1982, Inri Cristo officially established SOUST in Curitiba, Brazil, where he still remains in his "provisional" headquarters. Inri Cristo traveled in person to the Vatican, Rome, in September 1983, to ratify the proscription of the Roman Catholic Church. Inri Cristo communicate his message to the world via his Youtube channel which has about 14 000 subscribers.
