Follow up on my question regarding ETs... MJD Monday, April 19, 2010

Question:

Brother,

I am the man who wrote the essay entitled "ET's: From Other Planets or From Hell?"

In my previous question to you about Monsignor Balducci and his positive view on ET contact...I guess what concerns me deeply is the "wolves in sheep's clothing" scenario that could develop if such a global "disclosure" were to develop worldwide. I keep hearing about this "preparing mankind for disclosure" in different articles I've read. This is the same language that was used in many of the frightening New Age Ufology books I used to read. Not to sound conspiratorial but who exactly would be doing this "disclosure"? Our U.S. Government? The same government that sanctions and permits legalized abortions and promotes homosexual unions? Or maybe it will be the U.N.?

I read that examiner article that you had linked at the bottom of your response and it said that it seemed that the Vatican was preparing for some sort of inevitable "disclosure" that was discussed earlier at a U.N. conference. David Spangler, prominent New-Age author speaks at length in his books about mankind's need for what he calls a "Luciferic initiation" on a global scale. I don't think it is any coincidence that David Spangler is the Director of Planetary Initiatives of the U.N.?

My concern is that we are setting ourselves up for deception on a grand scale. As someone who used to be caught in this web of deception I can certainly testify that all of the books on UFOLOGY and messages received from these entities deny the truth of Holy Scripture and they deny Jesus Christ as God. Obviously, I understand that the possibility of life on other planets is a possibility and I'm not disputing that at all. What I am concerned about are the plethora of messages that are written in these books. Even the books talk about the "ET's" preparing mankind for them to be revealed. It is frightening, they are preparing the way for the anti-gospel.

I think our culture has been softened up and conditioned over the past 60 years or so to accept this sort of false gospel. Look at how many people no longer follow Christianity, it is sad. They are thirsty and many will drink whatever is offered to them, and it may be this.

While I know and understand that the Vatican can't keep it's mind closed to the possibility of life on other planets, I just pray that it keeps a shield on that mind when it opens it to all of this.

Many Protestant authors have been researching this topic of ET Deception for several years and have written at length about it. Now, obviously many of these people are "Sola Scriptura" Christians, but that doesn't mean that they don't understand what is going on here. Take a look if you have time at this site and look at the picture of the book on the left side of the page, you'll see what I'm talking about...

Thanks for your time Brother, I'm curious to read your response to all of this.

God Bless,

Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Matthew:

This language of "preparing mankind for disclosure" is sourced in the media looking for eye-catching and sensational headlines. There is no "disclosure" to be made. The Church is open to the possibility of intelligent beings on other planets. It is up to science to prove that, but if such beings do exist if does not endanger or threaten Christian doctrine and practice. That is the only point.

As for "close encounters" I have already discussed that in that there is no shred of evidence to prove that, and that at least some of these events may indeed be demonic. The Church is not "disclosing" that "close encounters" exist.

Frankly, Matthew, you are too close to this subject and are rather obsessed with it. The number of people who are seriously involved in the UFO culture are few and most people consider them kooks. The number of people who may believe UFO are extraterrestrial is much higher, but rarely goes beyond that for them.

The potential of cult-like aspects of the UFO blather is no more or less than any other cult (e.g. Moonies, Hare Krisha, Transcendental Meditation), or unsubstantiated notion (e.g. human impact on global warming, Obama is a good President, one can lose weight by a pill and no exercise or diet considerations, and herbs and alternative medicine techniques curing all).

There will always be people who are gullible, who do not think about issues and get pulled into these things, who are otherwise lead into delusions. There is nothing special about the UFO close encounter thing. It is just another in a long list of "flat-earth" type societies.

The best approach to counter all this is to do what you have done -- write essays about the truth and evidence, or lack-thereof, of close encounters -- and pray for those who are tempted or influenced about this.

There is nothing more we can do. The First Amendment gives anyone the right to publish their opinions no matter how kooky they are.

And, we need to remember that while some individual Vatican official might get caught up in this subject, the only statements we should really listen to are the official statements from the Vatican. The Vatican will not declare close encounters are real unless there is compelling scientific evidence.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
