"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.
INDEED.
They sure seem oblivious, alright.
Your views cannot be found in historical “Christian” writings
Some of what you wrote has already been condemned as heretical and some of what you wrote is a modernists view of scripture.
OH REALLY?
LOL.
The Lord’s opinion is the only one that counts.
I’m curious what you’d call a “modernist’s view of Scripture.”
Actually, the Marian stuff of the Vatican, IS HERETICAL—VERY UNBiblical!
The DISNEY 1995 UFO/ET SPECIAL that deliberately had a limited showing and cannot be found since except via a viewer's video taping of it . . . is a lot harder hitting and more substantive than I expected. It appears to be a serious incremental disclosure effort.
In that light, I strongly encourage anyone at all interested in the topic to watch the video. ACTUALLY, even if one is not interested, it might be wise to watch it:

God is truth ,dear brother,not an opinion.However, your opinion of God in regards to Christianity is different than historical Christianity in many cases.
You Know, dear Quix. Why don't you spend some time reading the desert fathers and early Christian writings and pray for discernment.
I’m curious what you’d call a “modernist’s view of Scripture
Total Depravity is one example. I would be writing for days if I had to list them all and since new ones pop up all the time I would die at my computer.
I wish you a Blessed evening!
Where on earth did you get the illusion that I was a Calvinist? BTW, I’m NOT. Sheesh.
I was curious what you thought was a “modernist” view of Scripture in post #735.
BTW, I have begun to read some of the early ‘Fathers.’
I’m not at all impressed with “Historical Christianity.”
And worse, that manifested under the Vatican umbrella.
Giving Bibles on MP3 players to tribal groups and watching Holy Spirit spontaneously manifest a New Testament church exactly as Acts described . . .
THAT’S exciting AND BIBLICAL.
Without any hierarchical oversight . . . other than . . . drum roll . . .
Holy Spirit’s oversight.
It’s sad that The Vatican seems to think HE’S not up to the task and DESPERATELY NEEDS so much heavy handed assisting.
You asked for a modernist view of scripture and I gave you one. If you want to be specific about you than ask.
BTW, I have begun to read some of the early ‘Fathers.’ I’m not at all impressed with “Historical Christianity.”
Why am I not surprised you would not be impressed with humble martyrs of the Christian faith who were slaughtered to uphold the faith and were united in faith with others who believed as they did while you sit in the luxury of your own home and type on the computer that your not impressed?
Thanks, Quix. I watched the entire video.
HMMMMMMM
.
I guess when you wrote "you" to me in post #743, I had the incredible delusion to think "you" meant me in that post about my writings in the post referred to.
I confess I did forget to take into account the Vatican DAFFYNITIONARY.
Sheesh.
Sure. I listended to it while writing a quiz. Now I’m watching the parts I missed.
What did you think compared to other such programs?
Particularly about the stance, and tones, attitudes re the topic.
stf: Total Depravity is one example. I would be writing for days if I had to list them all and since new ones pop up all the time I would die at my computer.
How is that a *modernist* view of Scripture. Without giving specific examples if you don't want to, what exactly qualifies as *modernist* to you?
Taking into account how long ago the video program was produced and televised...Michael Eisner in the beginning, I thought it was very good.
The atomic bomb signaled to other civilizations that we had ‘evolved’ to a dangerous level.
Aliens not only look like greys with large eyes, but also bugs and praying mantis’, which are not friendly.
The subjects of alien experiments seemed a bit weak, especially the young bleached blond.
I KNOW TEACHER! I KNOW!
ANYTHING that disagrees with the convoluted, self-contradictory Catechism.
Which . . . even on the Mary stuff . . . is largely a MODERNIST INVENTION, fabrication, mangling of Biblical and historical facts and truths.
Yeah. There were some hokey parts.
However, the phrasing and attitude about contact being
“inevitable” etc. were uncommon—particularly back then.
OK, lets be specific.
From #735...HE TRASHED THAT UNIQUENESS WHEN HE NOTED THAT THOSE WHO DID THE FATHER’S WILL WERE AT LEAST EQUALLY HIS BLOOD RELATIVES ALONG WITH HIS BLOOD HALF SISTERS AND BLOOD HALF BROTHERS.
Wow! Christ trashed the uniqueness of His Blood! That’s something new I have never heard before.
Show early Christian Writings to support this.Surly there would be writings that exist if Christ had trashed His unique incarnate Blood
Surely,also these writings would exist about the lives of half brothers and sisters in the life of Christ,but they don’t.
Good Night!
I’ll pray for you to stop guessing
Solo Scripture. It's the most devise idea in the history of Christianity. Even quix is bothered when he thought I was comparing him to a calvinist- this is about solo scripture
Bedtime,Good Night
The Scripture is plenty clear
except when folks are in denail and want excuses to believe pet heresies.
Please avoid reading too much into my incredulity that you thought I was a Calvinist.
I was mostly shocked that you didn’t know that.
One could be a LOT worse than being a Calvinist—such as idolizing Mary etc.
And “anti-intellectualism.”
