Whoever thought that V stood for Vatican?
Galileo kept coming to mind while I read this.
Read the novel “The High Crusade” by Poul Anderson.
“a hundred races, united in Christendom, the English tongue, and the English Crown...”
“they proved they had souls, and could be saved...”
“our former enemy Hurga, now known to this world of Yorkshire as Archbishop William...”
One of the later subplots in the novel is the wholesale conversion of multiple pagan or atheistic alien races to Christianity.
The “author” is the same RAVING LUNATIC who said the we were planning for disclosure a few weeks ago.
The guy is a nutter, 1st Class.
In 1504 while Christopher Columbus was stranded in Jamaica, he used his foreknowledge of a lunar eclipse to fool the natives into provisioning his men. Knowledge is power. Could a modern people such as ourselves fall for similar trickery? Should we necessarily respect or trust the ‘highly evolved’ or technologically advanced?
Has the Vatican decided that extraterrestrial intelligent beings, if ever found, will not have spirits but have souls? ... Until the terminology gets sorted out, the whole exercise is a game.
Ping!!
The theological implications of something that hasn’t happened are zero! Postulating such things seems a waste of time to me but I do understand that others like to think on these things!
Even if it did happen and the Church was all fine and dandy theologically that would not stop the rest of the world pronouncing that the Bible and Christendom was dead. Of course Islam and Hinduism etc would still be ok!
Many people are dying to find another form of life so they can officially wipe Christianity off. When they found those little squiggles in the Mars rocks it wasn’t a day until someone had a go at me about the death of my religion.

OBVIOUSLY the globalist crew is grinding things ever onward according to their script.
. . . . Because we need to know these things:
Vatican prepares for extraterrestrial disclosure
[snip]
After more than a year of openness, the Vatican is taking the openness policy to a new level, and preparing the public for some kind of formal extraterrestrial disclosure announcement.
Numerous independent sources have predicted such disclosure is imminent, and that the Obama administration is expected to play a prominent role.
.
what could anyone say about such silliness?
Thought this would be of interest — sorry if you’ve already been pinged to the thread...
Discussion of the implications of intelligent extraterrestrial life, both scientific and theological, did not appear prominently in the conference agenda. One of the presenters, however, Prof Paul Davies commented on the religious implications of discovering intelligent extraterrestrial life: “If you look back at the history of Christian debate on this, it divides into two camps. There are those that believe that it is human destiny to bring salvation to the aliens, and those who believe in multiple incarnations,” Davies pointed out that the multiple incarnations theory, the idea that multiple examples of Jesus Christ would be found in the universe “is a heresy in Catholicism.”
The Vatican, through Funes, is supporting the idea that the incarnation of Christ is a unique event in Earth’s history tied in to humanity’s ‘fall’ and ‘original sin’. This idea was a major focus in Father Funes’ May 2008 interview which was titled “The extraterrestrial is my brother.” Funes said that intelligent extraterrestrial life may not have experienced a ‘fall’, and may be “free from Original Sin … [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.” This makes it possible to regard them as ‘our brothers’ as Funes explained:

This is a serious article about a very real serious Vatican event—showing another incremental advancement of the whole field toward disclosure.
It’s clear that naysayers who decry such articles as hoaxes by con folks are most likely
1. Lying disinfo agents or
2. So stubbornly, cluelessly, rigidly, stubbornly biased that reality itself has no chance to even leak in through the cracks . . . or
3. Are obnoxious mean-spirited trolls who just enjoy trashing threads of those who sift and sort complex data sets 1,000% better than they do . . . or
4. Are so insecure and threatened by the possibilities that they have to dream up all manner of brazen distortions of reality in order to be able to sleep at night.
UFO AND END TIMES PING LIST PINGS.

So Quixy,
Seems like the Romanists owe you an apology!
This reporter’s slant is pretty silly, and based more on his own wishful thinking than anything else. The Vatican Observatory held a conference where the topic came up. The head of the observatory is in favor of discussing the topic of extraterrestrial life. From this we are to infer that “the Vatican,” from the pope on down, is leading some kind of charge here?
Look, the various departments that comprise “the Vatican” work with quite a bit of autonomy. Just because someone working at the Vatican says or does something, it doesn’t follow that there is all that much importance attached. The pope often is not in the loop at all. If he had to sign-off on everything that workers at the Vatican did, he might as well fire everyone and just “do everything himself.” Just as Moses was told to distribute his authority to lesser judges in order to ease his case load, and concentrate on the more important issues, so too, the pope, as earthly head of a world-wide Church, needs to delegate in lesser matters. Until the pope himself steps into this discussion one way or the other, the opinions of the Vatican Observatory’s director, Father Funes, are just that: his opinions.
Way too much is being read into this, and the stuff about Archbishop Migliore aligning the Vatican’s outlook on extraterrestrials with that of the UN is just more wishful thinking on the part of the article writer.
It’s really kind of funny. When the “Vatican,” in the person of the pope, or perhaps his Secretary of State or some other legitimate “high-ranking Vatican official” makes a statement about faith or morals that should actually get the attention of the press, the press generally ignores it. But, when some vapid topic like UFO discussion comes up, the press breathlessly hangs on every word coming from the Vatican, even when the authority is more than a few links down on the chain of command. This is the stuff for “Coast to Coast,” perhaps, but not what should be worthy of the attention of “serious” media outlets.
To devote this kind of focus to such a trivial issue is the media’s equivalent of creating a “false flag,” designed to divert attention from the Vatican’s (especially the pope himself) attempts to teach a highly corrupted world the things that lead to God. The media pretend to attach major significance to the “Vatican’s words” in such matters, but what is really wanted is a diminishing of the Vatican’s authority via the mechanism of making its pronouncements look like the stuff you can only receive by tuning-in a tinfoil hat.
I ain’t buying it.
The Author is capable of having more than one Book, one room, and one Salvation. Indeed, our Book says that "In my Father's house there are many rooms." (John 14:2)
Assuming He really is omnipotent, of course...
