Alleged Vatican Official Says Extraterrestrials Are Real
The Eponymous Flower ^ | 07/08/2010 | Tancred

"Vatican Officials" say a lot of things. This man who is said to be an expert in demonology also claims to be an expert on the phenomenon of intelligent extraterrestrial life. We say they are supernatural in origin and the appearance of strange and foreboding lights in the sky are unfavorable signs.

Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia (governing body), and an insider close to the Pope, has gone on Italiannational 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 topsychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully." Since Monsignor Balducci is a demonology expert and consultant to the Vatican , and since the Catholic Church has historically demonized many new phenomena that were poorly understood, [Like the historical propensity for the press to be leftist deceivers who herald new phenomena like Communism as saviours of mankind.] his stating that the Church does not censure these encounters is all the more remarkable.

Balducci revealed to a visiting American professional that the Vatican is closely following this phenomenon quietly. My informant originally surmised that the Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contacts with humans from its Nunciatures (embassies) in various countries.

Is your hubby willing for you to forward a description of what he saw?

Blessings,

The chronic wail of those sucking at the teat of a TYPE II ERROR . . . seemingly blissfully ignorant that a

TYPE II ERROR CAN BE VERY BIT AS DEADLY AS A TYPE I ERROR.

When the level of “proof”

you demand

is commonly available,

the time for prep, adjustment, wrapping one’s mind, consciousness and values around such realities

will have OVERHWLEMINGLY WELL PASSED.

Enjoy your TYPE II ERROR before the blade comes down.

You seem to have misunderstood my statement.

I have observed that most logical folks tend to EXPECT the situation we see on every hand . . . that such a hyper-secret oligarchic ruled [on the human side] set of realities will greatly lack commonly hand holdable "proof" for a very long preliminary period of years, decades . . .

Actually, in the secret classifications documents, criteria, rules . . . there's codified such a perspective. Some levels of things are by law not disclosable nor deployable unless and until CONUS is greatly attacked.

Certainly satan is a clever general to a point. He doesn't want too much of his hand disclosed TOOOO PRELIMINARILY. Only enough to twist and manipulate fears and mass speciuations.

I have no more interest nor inclination in trying to force this mule to drink.

Sufficient solid scientific evidence is available for all who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Done.

Why are you resorting to this? I merely asked for proofs. Threats of annihilation (the blade comes down) and accusations of Type II errors. Let me post a simple model of the Scientific Method:

What is your hypothesis; where is your test; and even more important - what is your analysis? What is your conclusion? And what is it based upon? Given the tone of the posts and the lack of facts, I think that those who propose alien presence are guilty of a Type III error.

I’ve noted the more than 3000 cases of landing evidence impacts on the environment scientifically collected and analyzed.

I’ve observed no serious good faith effort on your part to understand this phenomena.

I don’t wish to waste any further time with you.

Study the topic for 48+ years yourself and get back to me—convincingly.

Bye.

PS

Do NOT expect any pings from me about the topic.

You can wait with all the other naysayers for it to appear in your back yard, front yard, lap, CNN nightly news.

Solid scientific evidence is sufficient. You have not provided any (see my post on the Scientific Method). Until then, unproven claims are considered to be the equivalent of anything out of the mouths of Joseph Smith, Aimee Semple McPherson, or Barack Obama, for that matter. Unproven claims are simply that. I am not guilty of any error unless I can judge based upon the presented proofs. I have seen only conjectures.

Where are these notes?

I am an engineer. When somebody comes to me with a claim I ask them to prove it, whether in professional or in personal life.

Study the topic for 48+ years yourself and get back to me—convincingly.

In other words, you cannot prove your claims and wish for me to disprove them.

I am not a naysayer. I merely call for proofs to your statements. I do not accept water divining, or tarot cards, or phrenology, or astrology, or UFOlogy, or any other number of beliefs as fact simply because there is not the evidence to accept them as fact. If you wish to believe in UFOs, then believe in them. And have fun with it. But you cannot claim that they are fact simply because there aren't the facts.

I can say that the sun (continuous hydrogen fusion at the center of our solar system) is a fact. I cannot say that space aliens are a fact.

I dunno -- the aliens always seem to like to visit trailer parks, drunks, and the like.

Wouldn't they visit the White House?

And just think: under the Clinton Administration, if they'd visited the White House then, they'd have gotten to do both.

So that's a strong argument against aliens.

On the other hand, there's always Al Gore...

Cheers!

Mark, do you believe there is an evil spirit world working right now, with Satan as prince?

If your answer is yes, how would they go about trying to fool you, an engineer? Would they go about it in your professional life, your religious life, neither, or both? Or do you not think you are capable of being fooled?

The Enquirer seems to have been doing pretty well with other alien creatures lately, such as Sen. Edwards and Algore.

Cheers!

This entire thread is an embarrassment to Free Republic.

NO TO THE MAX!

THAT kind of ignorance about the topic is a FAR greater embarrassment to FR.

It's also VERY DANGEROUS to SOULS and other living things . . . such as cattle, bison, deer, dogs, cats, and mutilated humans, for a start.

Your ‘facts’

are PLAIN WRONG, INACCURATE, FALSE.

However, they do reveal a huge level of ignorance of the topic.

Actually, research has shown that on average, even abductees are slightly above average IQ.

And, there are at least AS MANY MD’S, PILOTS, MILITARY ENGINEERS AND OFFICERS etc. etc. etc. involved as are in the general population.

Heard of it. Don’t recall what I heard.

Haven’t read it.

Why is it worth a read?
