Past reading of UFO/Abduction books... Matthew Friday, July 27, 2007

Question:

Brother Ignatius,
About 5 years ago, i had a very strong interest in books about UFOs and alien entities, which in case you didn't know happen to be located in the "New Age" and "Occult" sections of libraries and bookstores, not in the astronomy and science sections.

I became heavily interested in reading these books and started to really take the subject seriously. Since I became serious about my Catholic faith about 2 years ago, i've since discovered these things to be demonic due to the nature of the stories. Stories of people being abducted against their will, having strange objects surgically implanted into them, being told that the "aliens" were their creators, being told that there is no God, etc., etc. Clearly an anti-christian message in these books.

This brings me to my question...During one of the books that i read, called "The Watchers II" by Raymond Fowler, it related a famous case of a woman named Beatty Andreasson, a supposed "strong Christian", which happened in the 1980s. She related in the book, that her first encounter with these beings was in a wooded area when she was a child. When the beings approached her in the forest she claimed that she was frightened and called upon Jesus to help her.

Now here is the part of the story that i can't seem to get out of my mind...These beings told her that "her faith is good" and that they are going to take her to who they referred to as "The One" (I think we know who they were referring to - Satan) Throughout the rest of the book, she relates her strange experiences with surgical procedures by these entities and being taken to meet "The One" who seemed heavenly and "radiant with light."

Now clearly this seems reminiscent of the "Satan appearing as an angel of light" passage from scripture.

My question that has plagued me though Brother Ignatius, is why those beings would tell the woman that her "faith in Jesus is good" if they're really demons?



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OLSM

Dear Matthew:

Well, can think of at least one reason for demons to tell a person that their faith is good --  that it is a fact they are acknowledging to gain the trust of the person when in fact they are seeking to break her faith.

Another reason is that a person of good faith may be a better target for their torture. Such a person may withstand the torture better and thus give the demons greater pleasure in inflicting pain. "It is no fun to torture a person who gives-in too quickly."

There is one thing that is certain -- anything a demon says is for an ulterior reason.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
