What does the “Beware, Christianairte!” meme mean?

People quote "Guai a te, Christianairte!" to mimic a grandiose, ridiculous threat, usually as a joke aimed at someone over a minor mistake. The line also nods to early-2010s Italian YouTube remix culture, where creators mocked and remixed each other's clips. It is often used to parody an outraged preacher tone.

Where does the “Beware, Christianairte!” meme come from?

Matteo Montesi, a self-proclaimed prophet from Castelfidardo, had been posting catechism videos, sacred songs and life advice since the mid-2000s. Around 2011, Roman musician and video creator Christian Ice (Christian Nolli) remixed some of his sermons, twisting their meaning; furious at this "satanic" edit, Montesi hit back on video by mispronouncing his remixer's name and threatening him: "Guai a te Christianairte, Christianairte, guai a te!" The reply kicked off Christian Ice's series "Così Parlò il Profeta" (Thus Spoke the Prophet), which kept running episodes around the feud.
