The Catholic Church - "Aliens Are OK" ?

Post by Matthew »

This quote, could reflect either they see no problem with a future contact with aliens, or that this is what they believe the seductive message will be for those Christians weak in faith. It is hard to tell, what he exactly means by it. Either way--SCARY!

Christians will not immediately need to renounce their faith in God “simply on
the basis of the reception of [this] new, unexpected information of a religious
character from extraterrestrial civilizations.” However, once the “religious
content” originating from outside the earth “has been verified” they will have
to conduct “a re-reading [of the Gospel] inclusive of the new data…”

Might this not be one of the Anti-Christs?

Satan, that old shapeshifter, might appear as an alien. He can even appear as an Angel of Light.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

No problem. Usually I remember to add the links, but I just forget occasionally. But isn't it amazing how the whole world, even those with very high level education and prominent positions of respect are falling for this alien saviour nonsense?

We are ripe for the Anti-Christ, or for anyone who can save our world from "global warming/climate change" and/or other environmental issues.

With the creation of GMOs by Monsanto and Dole, and the loss of heirloom plants, these monopolies could be creating the mother of all disasters. We already have aliens living among us with foreign genes being inserted into our food supplies, as such foreign genes can suppress our immune systems, cause cancer, etc. These are aliens in that they are not natural nor normal food sources for people and animals. Plus, these mad scientists are experimenting with the genetic pools of animals and even humans. There are now genetically engineered babies with three biological parents.

Lord have mercy.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.
