Are there any catholics out there ready to ask your priests what the Vatican means by this?

[Angry Christian]

As a result since 2005 the Vatican as been preparing for the emminent disclosure to the public that Ufos are real and has instructed Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia (governing body) and insider to the pope , to oversea research about how to explain that the Ufo & Et phenmomnen is real and how it can co-exist with catholocism (so the public don't get freaked out when it happens). Since then Monsignor Corrado Balducci, has gone on Italian national television five times, including recent months, to proclaim that extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon.Balducci provided an analysis of extraterrestrials that he feels is consistent with the Catholic Church's understanding of theology. Monsignor Balducci emphasizes that extraterrestrial encounters "are NOT demonic, they are NOT due to psychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully."

All I know is that if the Vatican can find a way to squeeze money out of the faithful, they will.So we must ask, "What in it for them?" Another Lourdes, another face of Jesus on my morning toast...another miracle?

Would, you attach a link to this information?Have you seen the youtube of Benjemin Creme on Coast to Coast. You will see a connection there about the Messiah and alien space ships.

Since the antichrist and so-called aliens in UFO's are bothfrom the demonic realm, and hell-bent on deceiving us, it isno wonder at all that the Vatican would be in bed with them.

What, are you kidding me? The Vatican recently held a convention on what the theological implications would be if alien life were discovered. The verdict was that we cannot put a limit on the creative potential of God.

Well, I'm not Catholic, but several Catholics, including two priests, have written Science Fiction over the last fifty or so years. The concept of life on other planets is not foreign to the Bible, either, so it does not surprise me.The Catholics are likely as prepared as anyone, to greet and attempt to form some kind of relationship with aliens to planet earth. Several years ago, a science fiction story, called "The Sparrow" (Mary Doria Russell) was published in which a Jesuit priest went to visit an alien culture. In the story, reference was made to the Jesuits sending missionaries to native Americans during the early years of the "New World".The story is horrid, not so much for the concepts covered, but for its structure. It is full of flashbacks and introspection that wastes a lot of time. It could have been told as a novella (a very short novel, but longer than a long short story) in my opinion and lost nothing to the plot line.

well, this is interesting. do you remember that will smith movie, independence day? when that movie came out, my husband and i rented it and after i watched it, i told my husband, that's probably what the antichrist is going to tell the world after Christians disappear in the rapture--that aliens took them. i can't remember why i thought that, i only saw the movie once, but there was something specific in there--i wish i could remember what it was, but i'm darned old...lol--something there that made me think it would be a perfect way to explain the rapture to unbelievers. so if churches start teaching that aliens/UFOs exist and if people believe it (we all know that there are some people who will believe ANYTHING their churches teach--even if it contradicts the Bible--although many Christians do not read their Bibles anyway) then that will be quite a convenient way to explain the rapture. interesting. i don't care if people think i'm crazy. i think it's just amazing that this is possibly coming to fruition. i should have known... in fact, i did..lol. freaky.

The simple answer to this is to wait for any such disclosure and not to jump the gun with speculation.

 

[LALA101]

No.

You really should give evidence or references for your interesting theories.The Catholic Church has long acknowledged the possibility of other intelligent life in the universe.Here are a couple of articles on the subject:Vatican: It's OK to believe in aliens: http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D90KSE100&show_article=1 and http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7399661.stmDo space aliens have souls?: http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0506301.htmOne suggestion is that aliens have never disobeyed God, committed Original Sin and therefore do not require salvation. God keeps them away from us for their own protection. This is why we only see glimpses of them (UFOs) but no real contact can be made.If found, it would be interesting if they had a seven day week.With love in Christ.
