The Vatican & the UFOs

Nota to Readers: Given the recent release of the classified files on the UFOs by the U.S. government, I believe it is very timely to reproduce here the Vatican's position on the Aliens. Knowing it, our readers may have some idea about what Pope Leo XIV may do on the topic.

The content of this article is the correspondence of myself with a good Brazilian friend – may his soul rest in peace – in January 2014, followed by some news reports he sent me. On that occasion TIA posted those documents on our What People Are Commenting page.

Since in the 12 years that have passed, some of the original sources in our correspondence are no long available on the Internet, I replaced them with similar ones.

- Atila Guimarães, editor

Dear Atila,

Salve Maria!

I believe you and the TIA readers will be interested to know that the Vatican is now supporting the UFOs, according to the news reports below. I did a little research on the Internet and found these documents, whose value you can judge for yourself.

I gave the links to the sources so that you or anyone else can check the original documents. I also added links to the two principal Youtube interviews on the topic: one by Msgr. Corrado Balducci, a Vatican consultant on these matters; another by Fr. Gabriel Funes, the Chief Vatican Astronomer whose Observatory is in the papal palace of Castelgandolfo.

Receive my best regards,

In Jesu et Maria,

Manoel Ricardo Fiuza, Brazil

News report from 2000

Monsignor Balducci is a Vatican theologian and an insider close to the Pope. He has been featured on national Italian television numerous times stating that extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon and "not due to some psychological problem."

In this testimony he explains that not only the general populace, but also highly credible, cultured and educated people of high status, are increasingly acknowledging that this is a real phenomenon. He goes on to speak about the extraterrestrial people as part of God’s Creation and affirm that they are neither angels nor devils. However, he declares, they are probably more spiritually evolved.

The Vatican tries to be a step ahead on Extraterrestrial issues before announcements by major world governments
The Vatican is playing a leading role in preparing the world for disclosure about extraterrestrials.

There are few things that are sure bets in this life, and one of them is that the Vatican would have never stepped out to tell the world that they believe extraterrestrials are real without emphatic proof or advance knowledge that some type of disclosure is imminent.

The Vatican is not usually on the cutting edge; it generally moves so slowly that it is painful for much of the world's congregation. After all, this is the same organization that to this day does not allow women to be priests or any form of contraception. This is the same organization that forced Galileo to recant his findings and placed him under house arrest for the rest of his life for telling the world that the earth is not in the center of the universe.

For the most part, the Vatican is stodgy, archaic, slow to move on major issues and generally behind the times. So what prompted them to move at lightening speed on the difficult issue of extraterrestrials life and make a full disclosure?

Well, they have been receiving information from their embassies that is hard to deny, and they have attended a series of secret meetings in NYC at the UN that changed everything. Shortly afterwards, the Vatican gave the "Aliens Are My Brothers Interview," which should have made worldwide headlines, but it was typically played down by the mainstream media.

The Vatican’s new openness on extraterrestrial life is consistent with reports of secret discussions held at the United Nations that began in February 2008 and are still ongoing today. The Vatican’s permanent representative to the UN, Archbishop Celestino Migliore, was reported to have attended these meetings along with a number of other prominent government officials to discuss increasing UFO sightings and the implications of extraterrestrial visitations.

Significantly, Migliore's position requires that he maintain close relations with the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences. At the time of the secret UN discussions, Migliore made a presentation on moral issues associated with scientific problems such as climate change. Most importantly, the UN discussions reportedly led to a new policy of openness on UFOs that is being adopted by approximately 30 nations beginning in 2009 and culminating with a full disclosure of information to the world. This is extremely significant as there are approximately 22 nations that have begun full or partial disclosure!

The meetings that the Vatican took part in with the UN in New York City were also attended by a host of US government agencies that downplayed the announcement. We can only speculate about the agencies involved and the content discussed. You can be sure it was blockbuster news because, shorty afterwards, both the UN and the Vatican came out with their startling announcements.

Vatican Official Declares on National Television:
Extraterrestrial Contacts Are Real
Some things simply cannot be debunked as much as people would like, no matter how hard the debunkers try. Sometimes the truth just keeps rising to the surface, and this is one of those times.

Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia, the governing body, and a highly placed Vatican official who is close to the Pope, has been on Italian Television no less than five times recently stating that extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomena.

Msgr. Corrado Balducci

Balducci provided an analysis of extraterrestrials that he feels is consistent with the Catholic Church's understanding of theology. Monsignor Balducci emphasized that extraterrestrial encounters "are not demonic. They are not due to some psychological impairment. They are not a case of entity attachment, but rather 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, his statement that the Church does not censure these encounters is all the more remarkable.

The bottom line is that the Vatican has moved lightening fast on the extremely difficult issue of extraterrestrials and religion; they have attended secret meetings at the UN on exactly this subject. They have also met in secret with a host of US officials, and, after evaluating all the information, they made their astounding announcement.

It really makes no difference if you believe that the Vatican and UN announcement is a prelude to a false flag event or that it is real. One thing is for certain, some type of disclosure (probably partial or limited) is imminent and coming soon. It will be up to each person to decide on the authenticity of the actual announcement. The question becomes: Are we paying attention or are we asleep at the switch? We are all in for a Galileo Moment and those only come along every 200 to 300 years. Are you ready?

Vatican States: 'Aliens Are Our Brothers,'
Interview with Religious Leaders on Aliens

Fr. Gabriel Funes, Vatican astronomer

In an interview entitled "Aliens Are My Brother" granted to L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, Father Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, stated: "In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists." He also stated that "intelligent beings, created by God may exist in outer space" and that "some aliens could even be free from original sin," concluding that "there could be (other beings) who remained in full friendship with their creator."

Speaking about the search for Earth-like worlds about to be embarked upon with the Kepler Space telescope, Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, another astronomer working at the Vatican Observatory, told the BBC, "We Jesuits are actively involved in the search for Earth-like planets.”

He continued, "The idea that there could be other intelligent creatures made by God in a relationship with God is not contrary to traditional Judeo-Christian thought. The Bible has many references to, or descriptions of, non-human intelligent beings; after all, that's what angels are. Our cousins on other planets may even have their own salvation story – including other examples of the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity. We are open to whatever the Universe has for us."
