Internally, a quiet struggle has been going on for decades in the Vatican between traditional Catholic believers and modernist, New Age types who regard UFOs and aliens as responsible for much or all of the supernatural events and manifestations of traditional Catholic faith. As a near-heretical modernist, Pope Francis is apparently in the latter camp.

With Pope Francis near the end of his papacy, he seems to want to deliver on unfinished business -- which may include public Vatican recognition of UFOs as real in some sense. This is surmised to be part of a larger project of disclosure by the US and other major governments.

I surmise that modernist thinking in the Vatican about UFOs and aliens is relatively simple-minded. In contrast, at the highest level of UFO researchers, the idea of UFOs as only being ETs has fallen out of favor. The tendency now is to see links between UFOs, ETs, and other paranormal subjects as part of a large category of intelligent, manipulative, secretive phenomena that we do not understand but that are nevertheless true.

In that context, it is plausible to see Jesus Christ and Christianity as part of a range of paranormal and supernatural phenomena that aim to influence, prey upon, and sometimes elevate mankind. Jesus Christ is unique in his claim to be God made flesh as a human being and fully open about His teachings as a way to elevate and protect mankind against evil.

There are extraordinary but persistent reports that invoking the name of Jesus ends alien abductions. Some theorize that ETs are even possessed by demonic entities. It may be that even with UFOs and ETs accepted as real, Christianity not only will persist but be more important than ever, with its truth extending into more dimensions and realms than we commonly realize. I hope that the Vatican sees this as well.
