The Vatican II Sect And UFOs

 

There was a time, not very long ago, when talk of UFOs was something discussed by those considered kooks, and stories of such were featured on the front pages of supermarket tabloid rags, like the National Enquirer. When I became a Traditionalist over 40 years ago, no one discussed such things. They were seen as irrelevant to religion as "Bigfoot" and the so-called Loch Ness Monster. Interest in UFOs connected with Catholicism began in earnest during the 1990s as a result of articles and DVDs coming from those Feeneyite fiends of New York, Fred and Bobby Dimond. Most of what they publish, on and off the Internet, is so whacky and wrong, an intelligent person could easily dismiss their rantings. Religion and UFOs were only linked in UFO cults, such as Marshall Applewhite's Heaven's Gate cult, which resulted in a mass suicide during March 1997, when 39 people (including Applewhite) killed themselves. They believed that a UFO was behind the approaching comet Hale-Bopp and the vessel would take their spirits on board for a journey to another planet.

Recently, the Vatican II sect has begun an unusual fascination with UFOs. The term UFO, stands for "unidentified flying object," and has been replaced by UAP for "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena." The term "UFO" was updated to “UAP” in an effort to adopt a more scientifically accurate and neutral term, detached from the cultural baggage and extraterrestrial connotations that have been associated with UFOs over the years. Although “UAP” is now the official term used by the US government, many still use the phrase “UFO” due to its historical familiarity.

This interest in UFOs began in 2014 with Bergoglio claiming he would "baptize aliens." (See independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pope-francis-says-he-would-baptise-aliens-9360632.html). Now, there are "Catholic writers" participating at UFO conferences. Although the existence of alien life would not impact Catholicism if true, the new UFO craze is seeped in the occult. At a UFO conference last year, one of the "Catholic writers" who spoke was Diana Walsh Pasulka, a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina. The article states:
Her book American Cosmic is considered a groundbreaking work in the field. It looks at the UFO phenomenon from a religious studies perspective. Though she says her Catholic beliefs play no part in her research, Pasulka has discovered interesting parallels between alleged UFO encounters and reports of miracles throughout Catholic history. (See aleteia.org/2023/11/28/2-catholic-writers-participate-in-pioneering-ufo-conference). Another participant at this conference was a Vatican II sect "priest," "Fr." Mike Schmitz. 

Pasulka has published a follow-up book entitled Encounters: Experiences with Nonhuman Intelligences (2023). She gives much credit in the book to Dr. Jacques Fabrice Vallee, described as "an Internet pioneer, computer scientist, venture capitalist, author, astronomer, and ufologist (sic)." What Pasulka never reveals in the book (and it's hard for me to believe that a researcher could possibly not have known) is that Vallee has occult beliefs and connections to an unbelievable degree. 

Fred and Bobby Dimond have a book entitled UFOs: Demonic Activity and Elaborate Hoaxes Meant to Deceive Mankind. Like everything else, the Dimonds have it backwards; the UFOs are not demons sent to deceive, rather they are demonic manifestations of those already involved with them. In this post, I will expose the "Catholic UFO writers" and the very real problem the Vatican II sect is helping to usher into the world. (I wish to acknowledge the myriad sources I have consulted and used, both online and in print, for the compilation of this post. I have condensed all this information into what I hope proves to be a concise and informative post. I take credit only for the inferences I draw from said information---Introibo). 

Background
The term “UAP” dates back to the late 1960s, but it only started to widely replace “UFO” in 2020 after the Pentagon established its UAP Task Force. Initially meaning “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena,” UAP was officially redefined as “Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena” in 2022 to cover instances of unidentified craft maneuvering between air, space, and sea. The Department of Defense’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) incorporated this broader language in July 2022, and by the year’s end, the term was signed into law through the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. The act requires all government agencies to incorporate the phrasing.

Terminology:

RUFOs (Residual UFOs): A term coined by various researchers for the small percentage of UFO sightings that remain unexplained after thorough investigation.

IFO (Identified Flying Object): A UFO sighting that has been explained as a natural or man-made object.

From 1947 to 1969, the U.S. Air Force investigated UFOs in a top secret operation known as Project Blue Book ("PBB"). PBB investigated 12,618 reported UFO sightings. Each sighting was placed in one of several categories; psychological meant the origin was the result of an hallucination by one or more persons not of sound mind; substance induced meant the person was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and hallucinated it; hoax meant the person lied, made up photos, etc.; scientifically explained meant the sighting had a rational explanation (e.g., the person(s) saw a weather balloon that flew off course, etc.); and unidentified meant they did not fall into any of the other categories, they were real, yet the scientists working for PBB could not explain what they were. Of those 12,618 investigations, 701 or approximately 5.5% were in the unidentified category

PBB ended with three conclusions: (a) UFOs are not a threat to national security, (b) there is no evidence that the unidentified category sightings are examples of superior technology, and (c) there is no evidence that the unidentified category sightings are extraterrestrial space vehicles. The finding were eventually challenged by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, PhD (d. 1986)--an astrophysicist who was a complete skeptic, believing UFOs to be either the result of natural phenomena, hoaxes, or hallucinations from unstable witnesses.  He was hired by the Air Force to debunk any/all case sightings. Hynek is quoted as saying UFOs were nonsense and "the whole subject seems utterly ridiculous." 

By the end of PBB, Hynek had changed his mind. The hardened skeptic and agnostic believed there was sufficient evidence that UFOs were extraterrestrial or extradimensional crafts. In 1977, Hynek explained why he changed his mind:

 Two things, really. One was the completely negative and unyielding attitude of the Air Force. They wouldn't give UFOs the chance of existing, even if they were flying up and down the street in broad daylight. Everything had to have an explanation. I began to resent that, even though I basically felt the same way, because I still thought they weren't going about it in the right way. You can't assume that everything is black no matter what. Secondly, the caliber of the witnesses began to trouble me. Quite a few instances were reported by military pilots, for example, and I knew them to be fairly well-trained, so this is when I first began to think that, well, maybe there was something to all this. (See Hynek, J. Allen, The Hynek UFO Report [1977], pg. 132). 

Hynek developed the famous "Close Encounters Scale" which he published in his 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry. The scale has "Close Encounters" of the First, Second, and Third Kind. A Close Encounter of the First Kind is alleged visual sightings of a UFO at a range of about 500 feet away. A Close Encounter of the Second Kind is a UFO event in which a physical effect is alleged, such as pets acting wildly and machines failing to function properly. A Close Encounter of the Third Kind is contact with UFO in which a non-human entity is present. There was a blockbuster 1977 movie entitled Close Encounters of the Third Kind based on Hynek's scale and in which Hynek himself is given a cameo appearance at the end of the film. 

Hypotheses on UFO Origins

Of the 5.5% true "unidentifieds"--what could they be? Aside from those who attribute all UFOs to natural phenomena or human activity, even when unexplainable, there are two primary theories regarding the origins of UFOs:

ETH (Extraterrestrial Hypothesis): The ETH proposes that UFOs are physical spacecraft piloted by technologically advanced extraterrestrial beings who have traveled to Earth to study humanity in preparation for future contact.

IDH (Interdimensional Hypothesis): The IDH suggests that while UFOs may leave physical effects, they originate from a realm beyond the known physical dimensions of space-time, appearing and disappearing at will.

The Church does not assume that just because something is unexplained, it must be of supernatural origin. There is, however, a strong link to the occult that would make the positing of demonic origin plausible. As of May 2019, the US Navy has drafted new guidelines for pilots and other military personnel to report encounters with “unidentified aerial phenomena,” formally called UFOs.
(See Bryan Bender, “U.S. Navy Drafting New Guidelines for Reporting UFOs,” Politico, April 23, 2019, politico.com/story/2019/04/23/us-navy-guidelines-reporting-ufos-1375290). 

The guidelines are designed to destigmatize self-reporting of such observations and allow for assessments of them. According to the reports, there has been an uptick since 2015 in the number and frequency of unknown but “highly advanced” aircraft encroaching on US Navy aircraft and strike groups and overflying governmental facilities. Descriptions of these aircraft vary. Sometimes they are described as flying “tic tacs” and sometimes as oblong spheres. Most importantly, however, these objects act in ways that defy the laws of physics. These "unidentifieds" that don't fall into the other categories (hoax, mental illness, etc.) are the RUFO described above. RUFO activity fails to conform to the laws of physics, just as these pilots have reported.

The Occult Connection
In 1977, Stanford astronomy professor Peter Sturrock reported results of a survey taken among members of the American Astronomical Society, the principal professional organization of astronomers. Of the 1,356 respondents (professional astronomers), 62 of them (5 percent) reported witnessing unidentifiable flying objects (RUFOs), and a couple of these respondents had seen more than one. However, there was no correlation with relative observing time on the part of these professional astronomers.

These RUFO witnesses were not astronomers with the greatest amount of observing time. In fact, the sample indicated a reverse correlation. Astronomers with only a few observation hours per year witnessed RUFOs, whereas astronomers logging more than a thousand hours per year saw nothing. The reverse correlation noted here demonstrates that something besides observing time determines who sees RUFOs and who does not. The most significant factor appears to be the activities that people pursue. Observations reveal that professional astronomers deeply involved in occult pursuits often see RUFOs, whereas professional astronomers who stay away from such pursuits never encounter RUFOs. (See Sturrock, “Report on a Survey: Part 1,” 1–45; Sturrock, “Report on a Survey: Part 3,” 309–46).

In her book Encounters, "Catholic writer" Pasulka lauds the work of Dr. Jacques Vallee. Born in 1939, the Frenchman is highly educated and successful. Pasulka points this out in the Introduction of the book. What she never mentions about this "ufologist" and his hypothesis she values, is his deep occult involvement.

Meet Dr. Jacques Vallee
Besides his notable accomplishments in a variety of fields, Dr. Vallee is also considered by many to be among the world’s leading investigators of UFO phenomena and is the author of fifteen books on the subject. In his third book, Passport to Magonia, he describes 923 UFO landings from 1868-1968. Again and again, you will discover references to a wide variety of occult phenomena while the demonic nature of UFOs is evident throughout. In Messengers of Deception he observes that an “impressive parallel [can]
be made between UFO occupants and the popular conception of demons,”(pg. 15; Emphasis mine) and that UFOs can “project images or fabricated scenes designed to change our belief systems.”(pg. 19; Emphasis mine). 

 In The Invisible College he argues that the source of power behind UFOs constitutes a powerful worldwide force that has been influential in shaping human beliefs throughout history:
 “human belief... is being controlled and conditioned,” “man’s concepts are being rearranged,” and we may be headed toward “a massive change of human attitudes toward paranormal abilities and extraterrestrial life.”(See pgs. 3, 201, 204; All emphasis mine).

In his book Confrontations he points out:
The “medical examination” to which [UFO] abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical or biological framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks. (pg. 13; Emphasis mine).

Citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust [Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes
(Paris, 1978); Soucoupes Volantes et Folklore (Paris, 1985)], Vallee also reveals that “the symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of initiation ritual or astral voyage that is imbedded in the [occult] traditions of every culture.” (pg. 146). Thus, “The structure of abduction stories is identical to that of occult initiation rituals.” (pg. 159); and, “The UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were described in centuries past….”(pgs. 160-161). He elsewhere observes that in terms of their profound effect on us, we are seemingly helpless to prevent it, so that in the end, “it doesn’t matter where they come from.” (See Messengers of Deception, pg. 222). 

Vallee states his interest in UFOs began in 1961, at the age of  22, when he claims to have witnessed the destruction of the tracking tapes of an unknown object orbiting the Earth while working on the staff of the French Space Committee. He then entered into correspondence with Aime Michel, an occultist who was one of the early UFO enthusiasts. Michel once called his obsession with UFOs "pathological." He was a friend with the next person who became involved with Vallee--Dr. Guerin. 

Dr. Pierre Guerin. Dr. Guerin is an eminent scientist associated with the French National Council for Scientific Research. After examining and discrediting all reasonable hope for the extraterrestrial hypothesis and rejecting as implausible the solely human (e.g., psychological) theories, he concludes that UFO “behavior is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it.” (See Pierre Guerin, “Thirty Years After Kenneth Arnold,” in Flying Saucer Review, Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13).

 He then emphasizes that “the modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical.” (Ibid, pg. 14). Although it is rare to find a scientist and UFO expert of Guerin’s stature who is willing to admit that the demonological connection does have relevance to UFO data, his materialistic bias emerges when he concludes that the supernatural manifestations of the UFOs are a consequence of their own “supertechnology.” (Ibid).  Nevertheless, even Guerin believes, “What is quite certain is that the phenomenon is active here on our planet, and active here as master.” (Ibid; Emphasis mine). Although not himself involved in the occult, he clearly sees something supernatural. 

Vallee's Occult Friends
Vallee is an apostate Catholic who became a Rosicrucian, member of a worldwide brotherhood claiming to possess esoteric wisdom handed down from ancient times, and is joined with Freemasonry. He has also studied the works of ancient "scientists," like Paracelsus, an occult alchemist who was also a Rosicrucian. In Vallee's 1965 book, Anatomy of a Phenomenon (and in other writings) he blasphemously called Our Lady of Lourdes, and Our Lady of Fatima to be the workings of intelligences from UFOs. He is adamant that UFOs are not extraterrestrials but "beings from another dimension."  Vallee's friends are a roll call list of occultists:

Uri Geller (b. 1946). A Jewish occultist who claims he was sent to Earth by extraterrestrials from a spaceship 53,000 light years away with telekinetic and other "supernatural powers." While many stage magicians claim him to be a fraud  ("bending spoons with his mind") and he merely is an illusionist magician, in 1973, the CIA tested his abilities and stated he proved his powers "in a convincing and unambiguous manner." (See https://web.archive.org/web/20170119221108/https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00791R000100480003-3.pdf). 

Charles Arthur Muses (d. 2000). A mathematician who founded the Lion Path, a shamanistic movement. 

Jack Sarfatti (b. 1939). A theoretical physicist who was involved with occult Erhard Seminars Training or "EST."

Arthur Middleton Young (d. 1995). Helicopter pioneer who was deeply involved in astrology. 

Edgar Dean Mitchel (d. 2016). Astronaut (6th man on the moon) and Freemason who believed in aliens visiting Earth. Claimed (without proof) that he was once "cured from kidney cancer" by a "remote healer" (occult "energy manipulation" practice). 

Pasulka: Conjuring Up Evil
Does anyone think, even for a moment, that Pasulka was unaware of all this occult connection? Just as disturbing, she was a consultant to an outright occult movie The Conjuring (2013), which features the work of "Catholic" "lay exorcists," occultists Ed and Lorraine Warren. Pasulka had the following to say:

My experience working on the set was amazing.  The crew, including Director James Wan, was really pleased to have a person who was knowledgeable about the Exorcism Rite on the set. It was my first time on a movie set, and really, I had no idea who any of the stars were.  When I went home after my first day, I Googled everyone's names and about died,” Walsh-Pasulka said.

“I am proud to be a part of the whole thing. When I saw the movie at a pre-screening, I was utterly amazed that the whole crew got the theology right, throughout the whole film. They would definitely earn an A+ in my class. (See gtu.edu/news/conjuring-perfect-exorcism-alumna-student-advise-horror-flick). 

Got the theology right? They would get an A+? Let's take a closer look.

Who are Ed and Lorraine Warren?

 To keep it terse, they are frauds and occultists posing as "Catholics." Edward "Ed" Warren Miney was born September 7, 1926, and died at age 79 on August 23, 2006. He married Lorraine Rita Moran (b. 1927) in the True Church prior to Vatican II. Both were born in the True Faith, but neither really held it. From the time Ed was  5 to 12 years old, he lived in a Connecticut house in which he allegedly experienced supernatural events. "My father, who was a police officer at the time would often say, 'Ed, there's a logical reason for everything that happens in this house.' But he never came up with that logical reason," Ed said in an interview on the Warrens’ website. (See www.warrens.net)

The family heard pounding, rapping and footsteps, he said. "My family would all go to bed and just around 2 to 3 o'clock in the morning, many times I would hear the closet door beginning to open up. At first I'd look into that closet and see only shapeless darkness, then slowly I'd start to see a light beginning to form and it would morph into like a ball shape, sort of like a basketball and then I'd begin to see a face in that ball."  Ed said it was the face of an old woman. Ed Warren became a self-described "demonologist" as a result of his experience in the "haunted house" in which he grew up. He met Lorraine, soon to become his wife, and a self-described "medium/clairvoyant" through whom spirits are drawn "like a moth to a flame."

 In 1952, the couple started the New England Center for Psychic Research in Connecticut in 1952 with the goal of investigating hauntings. Around 1965, the Warrens went into a home where it was alleged that the spirit of a little girl named Cynthia who, speaking through a medium, said she was looking for her mother. The Warrens expanded the mission of their center to "help earth-bound spirits move on." According to the movie, and literature they published years prior to it, they were the "only laypeople authorized by the Vatican to perform exorcisms." How do laymen "perform exorcisms"? According to their website, "We work with any clergy that their religion teaches love of God and love of your fellow man. We are not stupid enough to think that because we are Catholics that we are the only religion saved—that's what the problem is with Ireland today—and a lot of other places. We work with all people of all faiths."

They operate an occult museum. According to their website, "See the Shadow doll that can come to you in your dreams, and stop your heart! See the Satanic Idol found in the deep woods of Connecticut, the Conjuring mirror used for summoning spirit, the Vampire’s coffin used by a modern day vampire, Bare witness to a Ragedy-Ann doll which is responsible for a death of a young man, and multiple attacks on those who once mockingly came in contact, See Masks used as a Topa for Diabolical projection,  Child Tomb stones that were used as Satanic Alters (sic), a Famous Organ that plays by itself. You will also see Psychic Photography, Pictures that would combust, and Crucifixes that were malevolently thrown from walls and desecrated, Egyptian, and African cursed items, Death curses, a Shrunken head,   Possessed toys and animals, Voodoo, Fertility and other Killer dolls!"

Some of the Famous "Hauntings" with which the Warrens are Associated

  •  The Warrens are probably best known for their involvement in the 1976 "Amityville Horror" case in which Long Island, NY couple George and Kathy Lutz claimed that their house was haunted by a violent, demonic presence so intense that it eventually drove them out of their home. The story has been largely discredited. In 2012, son Christopher Lutz, admitted that almost all events were elaborate hoaxes to make money with book and movie deals. (The story did spawn many films and a novel). Christopher tried to make money on his version of the events, claiming his step-father brought evil into the home through occult practices. 
  • In 1971, the Warrens claimed that the Harrisville, Rhode Island, home of the Perron family was haunted by a witch who lived there in the early 19th century. According to the Warrens, Bathsheba Sherman cursed the land so that whoever lived there somehow died. It was the basis of the Conjuring movie. 
  • The Warren's investigated an alleged poltergeist in an Enfield, North London council house. The people included were Peggy Hodgson, her 13 year old daughter Margaret, her 11 year old daughter Janet, her 10 year old son Johnny, and her 9 year old son Billy. This was the basis for the second Conjuring movie in 2016.
  • Jack and Janet Smurl reported their Pennsylvania home was disturbed by numerous supernatural phenomena, including sounds, smells and apparitions. The Warrens became involved and claimed that the Smurl home was occupied by three "minor spirits" and also a demon that allegedly "raped" Jack Smurl. 
  • The Warrens claimed the help of Traditionalist Bishop Robert McKenna in some exorcisms.
The Serious Problems with it All
  •  There is not one shred of evidence that the Vatican (pre or post Vatican II) ever gave the Warrens permission to do exorcisms. While the Modernist Vatican might do anything, they still show no evidence. As far as the True Church under Pope Pius XII, no such permission would ever be given. Under the 1917 Code of Canon Law, only "priests marked by piety, prudence, and integrity" may perform exorcisms (See Canon 1151; See also Canonists Abbo and Hannon, The Sacred Canons 2:143). It is a task for the ordained.
  • Ed Warren had no theological or other qualifications to be a "demonologist" (whatever that means). He simply gave himself a title. 
  • Lorraine Warren claims to be a "trance medium." Such is condemned by both the Bible and Church teaching. "Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft,or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the LORD; because of these same detestable practices the LORD your God will drive out those nations before you." (See Deuteronomy 18:10-12; Emphasis mine.) According to theologian Jone, "Spiritism claims to be able to communicate with the spirit world and endeavors to establish such commerce with it. Although spiritism is for the most part fraud, still the intention alone to enter into communication with spirits is gravely sinful. Therefore, it is mortally sinful to conduct a spiritistic seance or to act as a medium." (See Moral Theology, pg. 100; Emphasis mine). 
  • They openly deny that the Catholic Church is the One True Church outside of which there is no salvation, and work with any "clergy" that teach "love of God...and your fellow man." People who believe in the dogma Extra Ecclesiam Nulla Salus are derided as "stupid."
  • There are no "spirits" needing "help to move on." Angels are in Heaven, demons are in Hell, and the souls of the deceased are in Heaven, Hell or Purgatory, not walking around houses making things go "bump in the night." True, demons can do harm on Earth, but they are not in need of any "help" to "move on."
  • Who in their right mind would keep an "occult museum"?   It can be construed as a shrine to evil. Who would want to look at such wicked things (even if they are a hoax)? Can you imagine the Apostles taking one of the demon-possessed pigs which jumped off a cliff and putting it on display? (See St. Mark 5:2-13) This is just a sick and malevolent way to get attention and make money. (The Warrens "passed the torch" to their son-in-law, Tony Spera). 
  • Ed Warren claims that pets have immortal souls, contrary to Church teaching.
  • The so-called "Smurl Haunting" involves a man being "raped" by a demon, and the presence of "minor spirits" (whatever that means). How can a demon (a spiritual entity) "rape" a physical body? Some may quote Genesis 6:2-4, "The sons of God seeing the daughters of men, that they were fair, took to themselves wives of all which they chose. And God said: My spirit shall not remain in man for ever, because he is flesh, and his days shall be a hundred and twenty years. Now giants were upon the earth in those days. For after the sons of God went in to the daughters of men, and they brought forth children, these are the mighty men of old, men of renown." Some claim the "sons of God" were fallen angels producing giants with human females, sometimes called by Protestants as "Nephilim." God did not create angels with the ability to procreate with each other or with humans. God, Who knew from the beginning that He would be betrayed, established the creation of the angels in Heaven, and they would neither marry nor be given in marriage (see St. Mark 12:25).  He created them without this capability so that even when the fallen angels rebelled, nothing they could do would ever change this fact.  This is why demons can only go so far as to possess people.  If the demons could procreate, they would not waste their time possessing people, since procreation would be a more direct route of affecting and infecting humanity for their evil purposes. 
  • Bishop McKenna never affiliated himself with the Warrens. The good and holy Bishop tried to help those who may be affected by demonic forces. The Warrens were sometimes there, but it is a lie to say he was affiliated with them in any way. In an interview with Michael W. Cuneo, author of American Exorcism, then Father (later Bp.) McKenna said that the Warren's "… books are sensationalized, and you just can’t take it literally. I don’t like to be publicly associated with them." Indeed, he did not want to be associated with such evil people; he was trying to help others. 
Strange Events Surrounding the Film

 The Conjuring (2013):
  • When the movie was shown in the Philippines, some cinemas had to hire Vatican II "priests" to bless the viewers before showing it. This is due to some viewers having reported a "Negative Presence" after watching the film. The "priests" also provided spiritual and psychological help to the viewers.
  • Andrea Perron wrote a three-part book based on her experiences in the house titled 'House of Darkness, House of Light.' Experiences written about in her book also appear in the film. Perron cites the film as a "work of art" and not a work of fiction.
  • James Wan, the director, was working on the script one late night. He had just adopted a new puppy, who started staring at a supposedly empty side of the room and began to growl aggressively. Wan stated that his dog's head then followed something all across the room, but he didn't see anything.
  • Vera Farmiga, the actress who plays Lorraine Warren, opened her computer one day to keep reading the script. She noticed five claw marks scratched straight across her screen.
  • When the directors and Lorraine Warren  would chat on the phone about the script, they kept getting cut off by weird sounds and a lot of static. Then, out of nowhere, the line would suddenly go dead.
  • The mother of the Perron family claimed to have felt the same strange dark presence, similar to when she first experienced the occurrences depicted in the film. She later tripped and suffered some wounds, which put her in the hospital.
So What's Going on with the New UFO Craze and the Vatican II Sect?
I'll leave it up to each of my readers to decide what all this means. You now have the information to draw your own conclusion. 
  1. There is increasing V2 sect fascination with UFOs.
  2. The biggest advocates of UFOs are deeply involved with the occult; some pretending to be "Catholic" while involved in the occult. 
  3. Members of the Vatican II sect who are involved with UFOs usually hold un-Catholic and anti-Catholic beliefs.
  4. Many of the people now pushing UFOs at conferences and the like tell us that they are "beings that will change humanity's beliefs"
  5. The thought of aliens or "otherworldly intelligences" take people's minds off the things of God, and some hope they will bring "paradise on Earth."
  6. The people who get involved with unidentified flying objects, even as a passing interest, usually wind up with involvement in other topics (like Darwinian evolution) which does nothing to help the soul. It is often a doorway to occult practices and heresy.
  7.  Bergoglio has spoken of "baptizing aliens."
Conclusion
What will happen to people (especially children) who are exposed to occult ideas and influences through interest in UFOs? In the words of that character from the pagan/occult movie franchise Star Wars, Han Solo, "I have a bad feeling about this."

  2. In the testimony of La Salette, the Blessed Virgin said that Lucifer and a large number of demons would be released in 1864. I think we saw this at Vatican 2. Modernist usurpers seized control of the Church and opened the windows and Satan's smoke came in full force. It's a very dark age we live in. The forces of hell are at work and the true Church of Christ is being eclipsed. We are the small remnant who still have the true Faith ! May God have mercy on us !

    1. Well stated Simon! I just want to check if it was 1864 that they were to be released. Exactly 100 years before the first V2 heresy was approved.

    2. Then there's Pope Leo XIII's vision of the devil demanding time and power to destroy the Church. I think he was asking for 75 or 100 years. In any case, Vatican 2 came within this timeframe.

      Scientology is indeed interested in all things extraterrestrial. These conferences are unique insofar as they invite professors and "respectable" clergy. To the best of my knowledge and belief, Scientologists are not presenters.

  4. In my opinion, this UAP topic is related to your article that warns against the dangers of Randonautica; both try to merge "science" and the occult in the cultural mainstream. The common denominator here is a false application of unproven ideas from quantum physics that end up in the "Many Worlds" dimensional theory. They want everyone to make every experience they have (or watch) seen as somehow being self-referential. The end result is a "synchromystic" insanity. Not hard for them to fake coincidences when they own all media production and public education institutions. Just add a lifetime of screentime now fed by AI, and the human psyche doesn’t stand a chance without God. We must humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God and His providence in His Roman Catholic Church, lest our minds be detained in vanity as Sirach chapter 3 warns.

  5. I was very interested in this phenomena during my apostasy. The case of Whitley Strieber, who is very well known in the UFO community as a writer and speaker, having been a noted "alien abductee," was always very compelling for me in those days. His late wife, Anne, who apparently did not share in experiencing any of her husband's incidents other than very tangentially, took up the task of reading and cataloging the volume of letters that came in upon the release of Strieber's book "Communion." During that work she famously commented to her husband that the contents of these accounts spoke to a seemingly similar theme; "it's about death" she said. Now why would "aliens" care about human death or souls or anything like that?

    Strieber's accounts were always convincing to me because they were always so odd and weird. They were rarely the sci-fi tropes that we usually get. But, the more I read about actual demonic incidents, the more I realized that they were describing the same thing. The behavior of the "visitors" and the behavior of demonic entities in a house or possession were virtually identical.

    Incidentally, there are several stories floating about how the invocation of the name of Christ and the Blessed Virgin has been used to halt incidents of so-called "alien abduction." I can't find the story, but I read one such account where when an "abductee" began praying the Ave Maria, one of the "aliens" got viscerally angry and demanded, "why did you have to go and do that?"

      The issue needs to be examined carefully. ("ghosts" are not separate entities apart from angels and souls). You and I have memories that go back to the 1980s when the occult movie "Poltergeist" made the subject popular--and who could forget the poster with the little girl with her hands touching a TV saying, "They're here."

      I suggest the following: Theologian Thurston, "Ghosts and Poltergeists" [1954], and theologian Weisinger, "Occult Phenomena in the Light of Theology" [1957], both available on Amazon.

      Well, the SSPX picks and chooses. Some priests wear them, some don't. Even the 1962 Missal of Roncalli is not 1962. They leave in the people's Confiteor, Misereatur, and Indulgentium prayers before Communion of the Faithful, even though those were specifically suppressed in 1962 by Roncalli. The best and shortest answer to your query: "Because they choose to do so."

      Of course! My explanation was for the benefit of others who would read our exchange. Souls from Purgatory are not poltergeists per se. You will see when you read the theologians. Only for the benefit for a rare few does God allow a soul from Purgatory to visit someone--and with a message/good cause. The same holds true of saints. Such a rare instance of a saint appearing to someone was St. Maria Goretti appearing to her murderer to convert him; and she was successful.

      What happened to Terri Schiavo WAS MURDER, there's no question about it. I don't know what the SSPX stated (if anything). Like almost everything else, I wouldn't be surprised if priests have differing views. While the late Fr. Cekada did much good for sedevacantism, the Schiavo case was definitely one of his biggest low points. Even the Vatican II sect got this one right (a broken clock will be correct twice every 24 hrs).

      Real theologians and canonist from pre-Vatican II days, most notably Fr. Martin Stepanich, and Fr. Gommar DePauw, did not hesitate to call what happened to Mrs. Schiavo MURDER. Even when a highly qualified physician (a Traditionalist) who specializes in treating those in persistent vegetative states (PVS), wrote publicly to correct Fr. Cekada on his mistakes as to medical FACTS, he would not relent, claiming (without ANY medical education/training) that he was still correct. Bishop Dolan refused to correct Fr. Cekada--and even defended the indefensible. Ironically, Fr. Cekada became the very "follow me or die" cleric that he once abhorred.

      So-called "Mindfulness Meditation" used in yoga has been studied by scientists and mental health professionals.

      Research found that adverse effects can happen to people without previous mental health problems, to those who have only had a moderate exposure to meditation and they can lead to long-lasting symptoms.

    Interesting article, thank you. I was struck by how excited the Warrens seemed in their museum advertisement, since they identify as Catholic. The relationship between occult obsession and UAPs makes sense.

    I didn’t know Jorge would baptize aliens. In a couple more years, I’m sure he’d say he would baptize demons, as the VII church needs to be more inclusive.

    I looked up Fr. Haydock’s commentary on the “sons of God” – he says they are the sons of Seth and Enos, called as such due to their religion and piety. I have heard of the references to giants and Nephilim, but didn’t know what to make of them.
    For a while now, I’ve been chalking up and UAPs to demonic activity. I just wouldn’t know how to square aliens with not being of demonic origin. Of course, that’s above my pay grade.

      3. I don't think catechism instruction would be a problem. You can read the bsics on your own, with questions to a priest. You can have a Traditionalist friend baptize conditionally and video it closely/carefully. Then, only the external rites need to be applied when you have access to a sede priest.

  16. Introibo, I do believe you have a special devotion to St. Louis, King and Confessor (King Louis IX). Today being his feast day, I wanted to ask his intercession for you, your blog, and for God’s mercy on our church in this time of eclipse and persecution.

    I’ve been reading the life of 17th century French priest Henri Marie Budon after reading his book the Holy Ways of the Cross. Although he wrote many short works and books, sadly, not many have been translated into English. I see similarities in the holiness of Father Budon and King Louis IX. France was blessed with remarkable saints.

  17. I am a traditional Catholic myself and I don't believe a word of any report about UFO's or similar things. That includes thinking they are demons. I don't believe that either.

    You made a good point in your article:

    "The most significant factor appears to be the activities that people pursue. Observations reveal that professional astronomers deeply involved in occult pursuits often see RUFOs, whereas professional astronomers who stay away from such pursuits never encounter RUFOs."

    To me this indicates that people who superstitious are more likely to think they saw a UFO. A normal person who sees something in the sky that he doesn't immediately identify just shrugs it off as a bug, a firefly, a helicopter, and even just a figment of his imagination, and pays no attention to it. Actually, this is the normal, sane people react when they see something and they don't know what it is. But someone who is trying to contact the devil is looking for some sign of contact with the devil, so when he sees something he can't immediately identify, he automatically assumes (in many cases) that it must have some mysterious, other-worldly significance.

    I wasn't aware of this statistic, but it simply confirms my view, that normal, sane people don't see UFO's, and that the people who claim to see them have a screw loose in their head in one way or another, and I would say that people who worship Satan, broadly speaking, have a screw loose in their head, or at the very least do not even remotely qualify as normal, sane people.

      I agree with much of what you say. However, there are a couple of points on which I must respectfully disagree.

      1. The Church is open to the possibility of extraterrestrial intelligent life. (I personally don't believe such is the case).

      2. We must not jump to supernatural conclusions. Just because there's something we don't understand doesn't automatically make something a "miracle" or "the work of demons."

      Given these two true propositions, we can safely conclude that most UFO sightings are natural phenomena that can be explained. However, this does not account for ALL sightings.

      This brings up two more true propositions:

      3. We cannot rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial activity if the Church permits it, and science does not rule such out either.

      4. The occult is evil and it can put one in contact with demons. It is an invitation for evil to enter your life, and the Church confirms this about the occult which is why it is strongly condemned in the Holy Bible, Sacred Tradition, and the unanimous teaching of the approved theologians.

      Certainly, some involved in the occult are mentally disturbed, but most are not. You have no idea how pervasive the occult is, which is why I have called our time of Great Apostasy a time wherein there is an Occult Revival that rivals the days of ancient Israel's pagan neighbors.

      I have witnessed the effect of demonic influence through a neighbor of mine when I was a boy. Many people become demonically obsessed or possessed when they practice the occult. The Church definitely teaches such, as in the training of priests who perform exorcisms.

      So, yes, I believe that some UFOs are demonic in origin and are from those who let them in through occult practices. They are NOT all crazy. The manifest weight of the credible evidence points to that conclusion. Likewise, Satan worshippers are not all crazy. You can't explain away all deep moral depravity and evil through mental illness.

      The supernatural is real. It has been there are two problems when it comes to belief in Satan: those who believe in him too much, and those who don't believe at all.

    2. I actually don't think the Church is open to the idea of extraterrestrial life. I once saw a list of papal condemnations of aliens which unfortunately I can't find right now, but I was shocked that this has been condemned so many times for about a thousand years. One specific example I recall is that the Church condemned a list of errors of Giordano Bruno in the 19th century, one of which was that there are many on other planets.

      I am also surprised that a scientist such as yourself thinks it's possible to travel here from the stars. We have certainly sent probes to most of our planets, which prove them to be uninhabited with reasonable certainty (no, that face on Mars doesn't count, haha). We are not able to send human beings even to one of the planets, much less one of the stars that are light-years away. This is what our knowledge of physics teaches us, so it seems unscientific to me to reject all of our knowledge of physics and instead pretend that there might be some unknown mechanism we could use to travel to the distant stars, just because that's what we see on Star Trek.

      I probably didn't explain myself very well in my post. When I said that people who think they see aliens have a screw loose, I wasn't saying they are mentally ill in a medical sense. Obviously many of them are not. What I meant was that they are people who embrace false and absurd principles, lack common sense, lack sound judgment, are gullible and frivolous and unreasonable, and are basically fools. They are not credible people by any stretch, nor can they be trusted to come up with a reasonable assessment of something they see in the sky that they can't identify. In fact, the very fact that they see something in the sky that they don't know the nature of, and somehow assume something so preposterous as that it is a vehicle from another part of the universe, by itself is proof that they are fools and prone to believing absurd ideas.

      People who would attempt to contact or communicate with demons generally tick most of those same boxes as well. Engaging in occult practices or trying to talk to the devil is just not something that a normal, reasonable person is ever going to do. It's something done, by and large, by people who are misfits and weirdos, who want little to do with society as a whole, who believe things most normal reasonable person wouldn't believe, and who are usually to some extent outcasts of human society, and are so by their own choice and desire.

      Now, someone could argue that this is a circular argument, since my argument is that people who see aliens must be idiots. While I still believe this to be the case, and a valid argument, I admit that it is a circular argument to put it in those terms. That's why I was fascinated that we have a large group of people whom we can assume in general to be normal and reasonable, namely astronomers, who are constantly looking into the sky, and yet the only people among them who claim to see aliens are people who can be demonstrated to be fools by separate, unrelated, objective criteria, namely by the fact that they also attempt to contact the demonic world.

      But obviously if there were really flying saucers flying around up there, they would be seen by all the astronomers in general, not just by one small subset that represents only a small amount of the observation that is going on.

    3. On a somewhat related note, I have been surprised and puzzled by the weird attention the government has been giving to the alien idea in the last few years, with videos being released by the military that they claim were taken by cameras on fighter jets that show alien spacecraft or some unknown type of vehicle. Some of these were not exactly released directly, but were "leaked" by "whistleblowers" and then later confirmed to be "authentic" by the military. Interestingly, none of the people who leaked classified video footage taken from American fighter jets were ever sent to prison or even punished in any way. We now have people testifying in front of Congress, like this Jew David Grusch, that flying saucers are real and similar things, which I don't think has ever happened before the last few years. Fighter pilots have been interviewed on TV shows and claim to have seen things flying around in the sky that are not known human devices and seem to violate the laws of phsyics. Oddly enough, no one questions whether these soldiers are credible or whether they could simply have been commanded by their superior offices to get on TV and tell these wild and absurd stories. People are gullible enough to believe what these soldiers are saying, as if soldiers don't obey orders and follow strict protocols.

      I believe all of the footage that has been "leaked" is either completely fake or substantially misinterpreted as part of a massive disinformation campaign on the part of the government to tell people that aliens are real. I am honestly not sure why the government seems to be trying so hard to convince the public that aliens are real, to the point of having the military create fake videos and make their personnel tell these absurd fairy tales on TV and even in front of Congress.

      I am curious if you have any insight into this?

      The Church is indeed open to the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Some pre-V2 theologians actually mention it in passing; I'll see if I can find those tomes.

      Bruno was (wait for it..) an occultist, and his occult idea that life on Earth as well as on other planets were emanating from the same substance was a form of pantheism and he also had animistic beliefs. THAT was the basis of his condemnation.

      To be clear, I am NOT a scientist, but a former NYC science teacher with a Masters Degree in Science Education. However, some physicists have speculated that it is theoretically possible to use a black hole to emerge in different parts of the universe. Do I think it probable? No, but I can't rule it out.

      You are seriously mistaken if you think the majority of those in the occult are weirdos/misfits, etc. There are more people involved in the occult than not today, and many don't realize what they are doing is occult! Great example---yoga. Do you know how many people of all religions practice yoga? Several of my attorney colleagues do so and they are not "weirdos" by and "stretch" of the imagination (couldn't help using the pun!).

      To see how the occult is present in yoga (and opens one to demonic influences) see:
      https://introiboadaltaredei2.blogspot.com/2018/05/stretching-truth.html

      One of my podcasts on Catholic Family Podcast dealing with the Occult revival:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I0A0UrKPwU

      Those astronomers were NOT "weirdo devil worshippers" but may be practicing yoga for "health and exercise" divorced (so they think) from the pantheism inherent within. How may use mindfulness meditation? Occult.

      How many walk a "prayer labyrinth" in their Protestant (or V2 sect) church? The V2 sect even SPONSORS yoga! How many go to a reiki practitioner? Occult.

      Your idea of the occult as some strange people sitting in the dark invoking Satan is NOT what it is, my friend! Many are involved unwittingly--like those astronomers.

      The UFOs that are unexplained (a small percent) will be demonic. They would be able to move "against the laws of physics."
