Well, here we are. The president of the United States of America has announced the day of disclosure, and he just recently said that it's coming very soon. The federal government has even made a domain name, aliens.gov, to do the announcement with. Evangelical pastors have allegedly just been told to prepare their churches for the day of disclosure. The FBI director has just said that the UFO files are going to be released very soon. And even Hollywood is preparing. Steven Spielberg is about to release his biggest biggest push yet for Disclosure Day, the name of his film. And he is insisting that this is not fictional. By the way, Spielberg's role in this deception cannot be overestimated.
What's about to happen is the day that the UFO crowd has been waiting for for decades. This is the day that we as a society have been groomed for for decades by forces that are truly extraterrestrial, that they're not aliens. And this is the dawn of the deception that I have been warning for years, is coming. The day itself, disclosure day, could arrive any moment now. Trump announced on February 19th of this year, I believe it was, that he'd be doing UFO disclosure, right away. I said on Twitter that I'd put up a video with what you must know before disclosure hits. I apologize that it took me a few months to get to it, but here is that promised video.
I've been crusading against the UFO ET deception for over 5 years now. I've done countless podcasts. I've written multiple books. I've traveled the country for the last year uh filming for a documentary, interviewing abductees and contactees and ufologists and theologians. The working title of this is The Age of Deception. There it is. Please see the trailer for that if you haven't yet. It's the most recent video on this channel right before this one. By the way, I apologize for the delay in the documentary's production. I had a few setbacks, but I'm back to work on it now, and I'll be announcing more information about it soon, as well as how you can help out. Please subscribe. Anyway, oh, there's me interviewing Dr. Scott Han for the documentary.
Anyway, I've been fighting this deception relentlessly for many years now and warning that what we're seeing now is coming. I've been repeatedly attacked and slandered and cancelled for it. But all of that all that all of that has done is just encouraged me to be even more zealous. And I'm still just getting warmed up. But it just occurred to me that I don't have one video of all the countless videos I've done over the last over five years. I don't have one video where I just summarize everything everything that Catholics and Christians and everyone needs to know before the the day of disclosure arrives. And in this video here, I'm going to do just that.
I'm going to show you how and why we can know with certainty from divine revelation itself that aliens, that is non-human incarnate intelligent beings, do not exist. I'm not talking about fungus on Mars or whatever. I'm talking about the the the notion of aliens that they do not exist. I'm going to show why this is not just any deception. I'm going to show why it is the great deception itself foretold in scripture. And I'm going to do this as briefly as I can, but it will take some time. You don't have to watch this whole video, though. If you're just interested in one or two of the points that I make, just check the description. I'll put clickable timestamps in there so you can quickly find and get to exactly what you're looking for.
Anyway, because I want to cover so much ground in this video and I want to keep it a somewhat reasonable length, I'm obviously not going to be able to give you the full argument for each point I make. You can find those in my other videos. Please peruse this channel and in my books, The First and Last Deception and Only Man Bears His Image from 2023. So, if at any point in what follows you find yourself thinking that I did not address something or that I didn't refute some objection, I can just about assure you that I did do so in these books. This is by far the most thorough Catholic treatment of the matter that's ever been published. And uh although that that covers it all, I I recommend starting with this one. It's a much easier read, the first and last deception. All right, enough intro. Let's dive in.
Just about any Christian is rightly going to have an instinctual revulsion, nausea almost to the idea of extraterrestrial intelligence being introduced to him. So they do what anyone would do. They go to Google and they type in something like, "What does the Catholic Church teach about aliens?" And the first thing that's going to pop up on the Google search is a website that says this. This has been the case for many years now. The website says, as you can see there, let me put it full screen. What's the Catholic position on the existence of extraterrestrial life? Answer, there is no Catholic position on the existence of aliens as such. Whether life exists in other planets is a scientific, not a theological question. We might play a part in the redemption of another race. It's possible that God has set up multiple worlds, some fallen, some not. As I said, this has been the case for many years now. That's simply the answer that people get right away when they look up what the Catholic position is on and then they figure, okay, that's what it must be then.
Now, there's good people working for that organization who've done very good things. I'm not trying to condemn anyone here. And that web page does say some good things in other parts that I'm not quoting here. For example, they point out that there's no evidence for aliens, but in my experience, those lines that I show there on the screen, those are the takeaways. Those are the ones that people actually remember and stick with after their reading of that web page. And I need to address the fact that each one of those claims is outrageously false, as I'll be showing you today. Sure, there's no infallible dogma in the extraordinary magisterium that explicitly and directly addresses the question of little green men. There's also no such thing that addresses the question of what 2 plus 2 equals. But anyway, it's still absolutely a theological question. And it's a question that absolutely does have a valid Catholic answer to.
Think about it this way. There was always a correct answer to the question, was the Blessed Virgin Mary immaculately conceived? The correct answer, the correct Catholic answer and the correct answer period was always yes. Even before that answer was declared a dogma in the year 1854. Good Catholic theology could already prove in every year leading up to that time that the Virgin Mary was immaculately conceived. I made some important points about this on Twitter last year. I'll flash those on the screen here for a second now in case anyone wants to pause the video and read them. Like that question, so also with this one. Even now, good Catholic theology can easily prove that aliens do not exist. Contrary to the first so-called Catholic answer that pops up on Google, no, it is not possible that God has set up multiple worlds. No, it is not possible there is another intelligent incarnate non-human race of creatures. And now I'll show why that's the case.
First, scripture. Let's begin where every Christian must. Divine revelation, specifically divine public revelation, that is sacred scripture. Now, scripture does actually directly rule out the existence of aliens in many places. I'll get to those in a few minutes. But first, we need to acknowledge an even more basic truth, an an existential truth, even a pre-theological truth. We need to acknowledge the nature of scripture itself. It's not just infallible. It's not just the truth. It's the whole truth. The whole truth of the foundation of the faith. How I like to put it is this. Salvation history is missing no chapters. The most destructive religious movements in history have come from individuals who don't realize this. For example, Muslims and Mormons. Both of them say, "Yeah, the Bible is true. It's just not the whole picture." The Muslims say that uh Muhammad actually gives the complete divine revelation. Mormons say it's Joseph Smith that gives the complete divine revelation. In fact, any authentic Christian must realize that scripture public revelation is already complete. It was rendered complete upon the death of the Apostle John. A faithful Jew in the Old Testament times could indeed await new theological foundations because public revelation was still in progress. That's no longer acceptable. It hasn't been acceptable for 2,000 years.
And what does this have to do with aliens? Well, even the Catholic ET deception promoters themselves admit that there's no indication whatsoever in scripture that aliens exist. But most of them admit that. There's a few of the more crazy ones who do claim that the Bible has passages that teach that aliens exist. Um, go ahead and take a look at Only Man Bears His Image in the appendices there, chapter 35, to find them refuted. But uh they're crazy enough that I don't want to derail this video by going into too much detail refuting them. So if uh if you want to see their arguments refuted, take a look at that. But indeed, there's no hint of extraterrestrials in scripture. Most Christian promoters of alien belief, therefore, they hinge their argument on the claim that well, that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that they're not in scripture. That's actually not a problem. Let's take a look at what uh some of the confused Catholic scholars teach on that. Reverend Dr. Andrew Davidson, this is a big shot Oxford theologian and let me go ahead and completely full screen that there. He was among those commissioned by NASA to study the question of aliens. He published a massive book uh defending belief in Christian belief in aliens published by Cambridge University Press. He said there's no more reason to expect mention of aliens in the historic revelation of Jews and Christians than to find mention of the duck billed platypus. Therefore, arguments from silence will bear little weight. And you can find all sorts of claims like this among the Christian alien promoters. Dr. Ted Peters, he's another big shot Christian theologian ET promoter. He wrote in another scholarly publication that rejecting aliens on the basis that they're absent from scripture is quote blatantly facious because quote Big Mac hamburgers exist indisputably, but they are not mentioned in the Bible.
So, does that argument sound familiar? You bet it does. Remember what Google sends us to right away? Not a theological question, quote unquote. Of course, this claim is outlandish, but it's the only escape route that these people have to attempt to justify the fact that aliens aren't even alluded to in the Bible. They have to say that the question is theologically irrelevant, like platypuses or Big Mac cheeseburgers. Hamburgers, sorry. Now, it takes a scholar to be that silly. Any normal Christian is going to rightly laugh at the suggestion that the question of extraterrestrial intelligence is not a theological one because only the extreme opposite is true. It's the most theological question there is. I can barely think of a question that has bigger theological ramifications for the foundation of the faith than the question of whether aliens exist. An affirmative answer to that question of alien existence would change everything. It would. Don't take my word for it, though. Take a look at what the Catholic alien belief promoters themselves admit. Here is what one Catholic Let me go ahead and put it on the full screen there. Here's what one Catholic theology professor at a Catholic seminary wrote. And he's just one of many making similar claims. He wrote this in a huge book that he uh published to argue for belief in aliens. He says that contact with aliens would quote call into question cherished religious doctrines. Then he says that for 2,000 years, two millennia, theology has had an anthropocentric myopia. In other words, meaning it's it's nearsighted, focusing too much on man and and and things that concern us. He says if we discover aliens, it may wholly redefine many of our conceptions of God and creation. He says evidence of a second genesis would could drastically call into question certain Christian foundational theological teachings. This would result in a profound reformulation or recontextualization of theology quote unquote his own direct words from a Catholic seminary theologian professor ET promoter.
Now this message that he's promoting is completely apostate because he's giddy. He's excited about this quote unquote complete redefinition of God that he thinks that contact with aliens which he thinks is imminent is going to bring about. Uh but his specific point here it is accurate in one sense extraterrestrial intelligence would indeed have unimaginably massive theological ramifications. So when you see an apologist, kind of a low-info kind of nominal Catholic defender say, "Oh, believe whatever you want about aliens, it's not a theological question." Uh, that's about the most ignorant and clueless thing that you could possibly say on this matter. That's even worse than arguing directly for the existence of the e of extraterrestrial intelligence in one sense. Uh, because it's an excuse. And as one wise man said, I have this quote written down. I should have looked up who said it, uh, but he said, "An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie because it is a lie safeguarded." And that's an excuse. This whole believe whatever you want thing because it's it's not a theological question. That's absolute nonsense. That's uh about the most ignorant answer to the question you can imagine. Every serious thinker who has actually put serious thought into this question takes the absolute opposite view. Whether serious thinkers give the wrong answer, namely that aliens exist or the right answer that they don't exist, they both agree that the question has utterly immense theological ramifications for the very foundational truths of the faith. And it's not just the theologian seminary professor I just quoted. Let's take a look at some others. Let's take a look at the uh former head of the Vatican Observatory. He said that and that's a little bit lower on the screen in front of you is Father George Coin. He was a Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory in years past recently. He said that the existence of extraterrestrials would mean we have to rethink fundamental realities of Christianity. He said there are serious theological implications for understanding of God. Theologians must accept serious responsibility to rethink fundamental realities in the context of religious belief. What what is a human being? What are we? And he's right like this completely changes the question. What are we? We cannot and then he says we cannot rely even theologically cuz he's like accepting okay for scientific questions of course we don't rely on this but he's saying even theologically even in questions pertaining the faith we can't rely solely on God's revelation to us anymore. Now, that that's horribly antichristic antichristic, as I'll get to later in this video, that this I this question of aliens means, you know, we can't rely on God anymore for theological truth. We got to rely on our telescopes and our disclosure and whatnot. This is this is the deception of the Antichrist. But anyway, he's certainly correct in one sense. Yet again, this has massive ramifications. You can't even uh imagine a bigger theological question. And uh here's you know unfortunately he's he's far from alone in clergy and scholars in at the Vatican Observatory in recent decades who have been the sources of major deception. Uh needless to say and I'm I'm saying this as a very fully obedient uh submissive Catholic. Uh their opinions have no magisterial weight whatsoever. Anyway, uh I have another quote on the screen there from Father John Civa. He was a a Jesuit priest I believe and he was an expert in the study of new religious movements and he did a survey of a bunch of these new religious movements in other words cults who believe in aliens and also he did a survey of basically all of the scholars Christian and secular who were who were uh writing on the matter theologically and he's not promoting this he's not advocating for this unlike the other two people I just quoted but he points out that belief in aliens means quote radical rethinking of the common Christian doctrines of creation and redemption. A radical rethinking. So there's many other quotes like that. But the point is that yes, this is the most theological question you could possibly imagine. And the worst answer you can possibly give to the question of extraterrestrial intelligence is it's not a theological question. It's a scientific one. That that's unbelievably clueless. Belief in aliens is a radical undermining and a radical redefining and frankly revolution against the Catholic and Christian view of Christology and Mariology and Ecclesiology and Eschatology and Protology and Etiology everything as you'll see throughout this video and to claim that aliens exist despite all of those theological implications that would redefine the faith entirely but God hid them from us throughout the entirety of divine revelation. You know what that's saying about God? That's saying he's not good. That's claiming that God the Father is hiding siblings from us like some kind of a fraud. That's claiming that God the Son is an adulterer, hiding brides from us, even as he lets us believe that the church, our church, the church he founded on earth is his one bride. That's claiming that God, the Holy Spirit, is a monster, a soul with multiple bodies. And all of those claims, of course, are blasphemous. Blasphemy against the Trinity. In fact, God is good. He is not hiding the fundamentals from us. God the Father is not hiding siblings. Jesus, God the Son, the bridegroom, is not a polygamist and he is not an adulterer. God the Holy Spirit is not a monster. More on those points later. As Jesus said in that quote I just put on the screen, let me actually put it back here. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends. For all that I have learned from my father, I have made known to you. John 15:15. As a Christian, you need to ask yourself, do I believe this or not? Do I believe that Jesus is the full revelation or just a little part of it? Do I believe that in the word of God, in the word of Jesus Christ, I've given things into which angels long to see but have not seen, as the New Testament says, things that prophets and kings long to see but did not see as Jesus says in the gospel. That's what we have. Or do I want to side with the alien believers and think, "No, actually, you know, all that's just a tiny little minuscule part of the story." Now, I sure hope you realize that Jesus's words there that I just put in the screen and read, that's the truth. We have the full thing. Jesus means it when he says that he told us everything that he has heard from the Father. So the bottom line is you cannot possibly reconcile the approach that we must have to divine revelation with the suggestion that aliens exist. And this is clear before we even start our argument against aliens. This is clear just from the fact that aliens aren't in scripture. We haven't even begun the dozens of independent direct proofs that aliens don't exist. So buckle up. And again, if you don't have time to watch the whole video, I uh I take no offense at that. Check the description for the clickable timestamp links.
All right, one more quick point on this before we move on. Scripture never says that there's only three persons in God. It just says there are three persons in God. And as a Christian, you're supposed to realize that scripture is going to give the whole story on that. Uh scripture never says there's only seven sacraments. It just reveals seven sacraments. Scripture never says that Jesus had no biological children. It simply doesn't refer to any. And yet any Catholic in his right mind is going to immediately reject the suggestion that there's a fourth person in God or that there's actually an eighth or ninth sacrament or that Jesus had children. Any sane Catholic knows to categorically condemn any such claim without hesitation. And they come about every now and then. This is not a hypothetical concern. You know, got the Dan Brown novels and various cults and false new religions. In fact, there was there was a heretical so-called Catholic group in Canada just recently within the last few decades. It called itself the Army of Mary. And they claimed they claimed they were good Catholics. They insisted upon this. They said, and there's still Catholics promoting this, crazily enough. They said, "We're obeying the scriptures. We're obeying the magisterium. We believe in the Trinity." They said, "We just also believe that there's more. We believe there's actually five persons in God and that the Virgin Mary is one of them, and so is our founders, conveniently." Anyway, that group was excommunicated, rightfully so. Anyone, any one of those claims would have utterly immense, unthinkably large theological ramifications, kind of like alien belief. They'd redefine the faith. Therefore, the mere fact that they're absent from divine revelation, not to mention magisteria, means they're not true. Very simple. Same with aliens. If aliens exist, they would have even more massive ramifications for the faith and the number of sacraments. I'll get to some of those ramifications later in this video. And remember, as I'll also get to later, this isn't just another heresy. The church has seen many of those. This, I wager, is the context for the great deception itself. This lie supplies the premises that the Antichrist will need to institute the strong delusion, which is what I'll conclude this video with. And hopefully already in the opening parts of this video, hopefully you're already intuiting why that's the case. With this one lie, the lie of aliens, the enemies of God, can sneakily undermine the whole faith with just one simple question. What is that one simple question? Did God really say? We've seen that before, haven't we? And they know that. Feel free to check out my books for more on this or watch my video on this channel from a couple years ago called One Lie to Rule Them All.
Okay. The Old Testament scripture contains no indication and no implication of aliens. Therefore, they do not exist. We've settled that. Scholars love to scoff at this argument, but it's absolutely valid. Please see the chapter in my book. There's additional vital theological content on that salvation history missing no chapters which I just can't fit into this video. Um, as much as I'd love to, I better get moving on here. Simple, pious Christians with childlike faith that Jesus exhorts us to. They intuitively understand that and they always have. But what I haven't addressed yet is the fact that we can actually rule out rule out aliens from what scripture does say. I'm going to run through a few of these teachings really quickly. Uh I discuss each one and more uh more quotes than I'll get to in this video more thoroughly in my books.
Let's begin at the beginning. Where else? The very first verse of scripture. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. First verse of scripture. You might think there's not much in that. It's one simple sentence. But oh boy, there is. It's the first line of scripture. God chose it well. I have uh let me read a couple highlights here from my book on that. Scripture refers to the earth over a thousand times. I point out there in The First and Last Deception. And yet it's a fact that the phrase heaven and earth define all that is. is the catechism of the Catholic Church says that the scriptural expression heaven and earth means all that exists creation in its entirety. So when you see divine revelation or magisterium or what have you referring to quote heaven and earth that's a simple way of saying everything just absolutely everything period that God made and in the first verse of Genesis in the first verse of scripture we see that there's a dichotomy there's the earth and what does the catechism say about that the earth is the world of men while heaven or the heavens can refer to a few things it can refer to the firmament meaning what we see above us and we look into the night sky, God's own quote place, our father in heaven, meaning just the dwelling of God himself. Or it can mean the heaven that we're called to eschatological glory, the saints and the quote place of the angels who surround God. Now, as you might notice, not one of those notions of the heavens leave place for extraterrestrials. The material universe is a dichotomy. There's two things, earth and the heavens. There's not a bunch of different categories there. Anytime you hear a dichotomy rejected, be suspicious because modernists and secularists and atheists and liberals and heretics of all sorts, you know what they hate? They hate dichotomies. But dichotomies, that's how God operates. Black and white, good and evil, God and the devil, male and female, even. And what else? Earth and heavens. The whole material creation is a dichotomy. There's earth and that's the only theater of eternal destinies. And there's the heavens which exist. Why? Solely for us, no other reason. The earth is the world of men. Earth's only intelligent creature, the material universe's only intelligent creature. And that's why man alone was given quote dominion. No other creature was given dominion over any other place in the material cosmos. The rest is just the heavens. As I said, they exist for one reason only, us men on earth. Let's take a look. Despite being a mere nothing quantitatively in terms of actual size in relation to the heavens, earth has its own category. God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day and the from the night. Let them be for signs and for seasons and days and years." Genesis says why the heavens were created and it is for us. Of course, it would be outrageous if those heavenly bodies actually harbored extraterrestrial intelligent beings. If they're intelligent, they're called to eternal life. And then if that were the case, God would be lying by saying that the reason for those heavenly bodies existence is actually for us on earth.
Now, the one of the most beloved arguments for aliens is saying, "Wouldn't that be such a waste of space? Why would God make such a vast universe and save it only for us?" Steven Spielberg slipped that into his even his trailer for Disclosure Day. Uh he was given the new the uh he was clearly given the memo just like these evangelical pastors were to start preparing people theologically to accept aliens. And it's all a diabolical lie. I'll do a a specific video on Spielberg's Day of Disclosure once it comes out next month. Please subscribe. But anyway, uh to to even ask that question, why would God make such a vast universe and save it only for us? That is to disclose a fundamental misunderstanding of the love that God has for man. God made the universe for us. Sure, he could have made the night sky be just an empty black void. Instead, he stuttered it with resplendent diamonds that we learn more about with every new telescope we design. Everything in material creation speaks about God himself. Every in every single thing he made. The the ancients said, the fathers said, every single thing discloses something about God. It reveals something about him. So what do we need also? If creation discloses God, if it speaks to God, we need something that discloses his immensity, his eternity. What uh what does that heavens, the incomprehensible expanse of the heavens? We learn, we we grasp, we intuit it more about God's immensity and eternity and the immensity and eternity of heaven itself. The more we learn about them. Anyway, sorry, I digress. I better move on here so I can get through everything I need to in this video.
All right, this uh there's another teaching in scripture that puts all of this even more succinctly. Let me put it on the screen there. The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. That's right there from the book of Psalms. So everything in the material universe other than Earth is the direct domain of God. Only one planet has been quote given to a creature. That one planet is Earth. That one creature is the sons of men. That is offspring of Adam and Eve. Mankind is also the absolute pinnacle of material creation. This is bedrock Christian and Catholic truth. Let's take a look at just a couple quotes on that. This is from the book of Sirach, which of course is scripture, although unfortunately Protestants don't recognize that Shem and Seth were honored among men. And Adam above what? Every living being in the creation. Not just every animal on planet Earth. Every living being in creation. There's nothing above Adam in material creation. Catechism of the Catholic Church. God created everything for man. Not just everything on the third rock from the sun. Everything period. Everything God created was for us. What does the book of Proverbs say? This is speaking prophetically about the Holy Spirit. God the Holy Spirit saying that he was present before all things. But where were his delights to be found? God's delights were with simply the children of men. Nothing else. He takes delight in nothing else but rational creatures who can freely choose to love him. And the only creatures who the only material creatures who can do that are men, human beings, male and female. Uh St. Francis de Sales, doctor of the church, he says man is the perfection of the universe. And that's also implicit in Christological dogma and Mariological dogma as we'll get to later. There is absolutely nothing higher than man in the material universe. Period. The end. Crowned with glory and honor. The catechism teaches in paragraph 2566. Man is after the angels, meaning there's nothing in between us. There's not more evolved extraterrestrials. There's not advanced other civilizations. Man is immediately after the angels, capable of acknowledging God, capable of of acknowledging how majestic is the name of the Lord. We are after the angels. And what else of course do we know from the fathers? And this is also a quote from the catechism. The glory of God is what is it? Is it is the glory of God the Martians fully alive? Is the glory of God the Alpha Centurians fully alive? Is the glory of God the interdimensional UFOs fully alive? No. None of those exist. The glory of God is man fully alive. Man fully alive is the glory of God.
Okay. Now, almost all alien believers insist that extraterrestrials not only exist, but are superior to man. I've yet to find one person who believes in aliens who says, "Yeah, they're out there, but they're just, you know, they're just kind of savages or something." No, they all are awaiting these ultra evolved extraterrestrials to give us spiritual and well, to give us scientific enlightenment, but even spiritual enlightenment. All of them say that as I'll get to later and as I discuss extensively in other videos in this channel. So as we can see that notion is absolutely ruled out by the faith, by scripture, by magisterium, by the saints and doctors and fathers. It's garbage. The fact is that man, human beings are the pinnacle of material creation. We're the apple of God's eye. And that's why Jesus Christ became man and not something else. He didn't become anything else. He never will. Period. That's also why the fall, original sin, brought down everything else with it. The fall of man, the sin of Adam and Eve, the sin of Adam specifically because he was the head. It brought down the whole material universe. Why did that happen? Because only the fall of the head brings down the rest of the body. This is another truth of the faith that is revealed in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. It's the fact that all humans are descendants in Adam and Eve and that uh it's precisely because of that that all visible creation, all the universe bears the effects of man's sins. That's Pope St. John Paul II commenting on this but he's simply reiterating perennial Christian Catholic truth there. Romans is right there in scripture. Romans chapter 8, creation was subject to to futility. The whole creation St. Paul says there in scripture has been groaning in travail. Why? Because Adam sinned. And of course, it makes absolutely no sense for other civilizations of extraterrestrials to exist who also would have fallen because of the sin of a man living on the third rock from the sun. That's crazy. One Corinthians chapter 15, in Adam all died. Romans chapter 5. Through one man sin entered the world. The whole creation, as I said there, groaning in travail. And I've got a quote there from Father Thomas Weinandy. I'll get to him later, pointing out that this is one reason of many that the idea of aliens is absolutely absurd. We know from the faith that the sin of Adam brought down the whole universe.
All right. So, as I alluded to a minute ago, another truth revealed both in the Old and New Testament is the fact that all descendants of Adam and Eve, sorry, all descendants, all um all human beings, excuse me, are descendants of Adam and Eve. This is a dogmatic truth. It's from divine revelation and is taught infallibly in the magisterium. Got a chapter in my book on this. Just want to put this in the screen really briefly so you can see it there. Uh this is in Tobit, another book that unfortunately Protestants don't realize is indeed scriptural. If I recall correctly, that's one of the ones they regard erroneously as apocryphal, but it is indeed divine revelation. And in there we see, blessed are you God of our fathers. Let the heavens and all creation praise you forever. You made Adam and you gave him his wife Eve to be his help and support. And from these two the human race descended and this is repeated constantly throughout scripture and magisterium. It is an absolute fact that all men are descendants of Adam and Eve. Humani Generis Pope Pius XII I believe it was he said that the faithful cannot believe in the alter. They cannot embrace polygenism the alternative view. This idea that that some people are are descendants of Adam and Eve and some aren't. Um, that's actually condemned as a heresy. Catholics, Christians are required to believe that Adam was the true meaning literal physical first parent of all. As I point out there in the book First and Last Deception, obviously it's not possible for Adam to be the father of creatures on other planets. Therefore, yet again, we see the possibility of human races anywhere other than Earth existing. We see that possibility ruled out definitively. Yet another encyclical, and this one is from uh the same pope, but it's not as well known, but it's actually 11 years before Summi Pontificatus. He said that the creation of man in God's own image and likeness was shown from the first page of scripture with magnificent simplicity to be the culmination of God's creative work. The culmination of God's creative work. Yet another indication that aliens do not exist. We see even more teachings to this effect. I'm going to zip through this so I can get on to the next point. Book of Acts, God made from one man the whole human race. Pope Leo the 13th taught the same thing in Annum, one of his encyclicals. He said, "This is a never interrupted doctrine of the church." Meaning it's infallible simply by virtue of the sensus fidelium, which is yet another point we'll get to later, ruling out aliens. Anyway, this is um uh you might wonder what is this to do with alien belief? Well, some people say, "All right, fine. Uh, we can't believe in in intelligent uh incarnate creatures that aren't men but aliens are just men. So there I saved it and first of all no this still fails by 90% of the arguments I have presented and will continue to present but even on its face it fails because it is condemned in scripture and magisterium and the sensus fidelium and everywhere it's condemned to believe in men who aren't descendants of Adam and Eve. So right there we have this idea of extraterrestrial men definitively refuted. So uh this you know feel free to enjoy Star Wars and Dune and whatever as works of fiction. It's enjoyable entertainment but no that is not a theologically licit thing to consider.
Okay, let's turn our attention to some even deeper dogmas that get to the very core of Christianity. That is dogmas about the incarnation of God himself Jesus Christ the God-man. Even more importantly, scriptural teaching on Jesus Christ makes it absolutely clear that aliens do not exist. Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God. He is the only incarnation of God. The only one there ever has been. The only one there ever will be. And this is probably the most fundamental Christian dogma. The whole faith is built upon it above all. But so-called Christian alien believers reject it. The premise that they put forward is true. And the premise is this. What is not assumed is not redeemed. So in other words, any rational race of incarnate creatures would need their own incarnation of God. They would need their own nature to be assumed just like God assumed our human nature. That's why he did it. It was necessary. It was um I'll save a deeper exploration of that theological discussion for another video, but but that premise is true. Their second premise is also true. God is good. So he would never make a rational incarnate creature without redeeming it. That would be crazy. That that would be evil. That would be malicious. So go that would never God would never do that. But the alien believers instead of concluding what they should from those valid premises, namely aliens don't exist, they go with the blasphemous claim that okay, guess there's multiple incarnations of God. And this is in blatant contradiction to the most fundamental dogma of Christianity, that Jesus is the only begotten son of God. They say Jesus is just one of many incarnations of God. And frankly, that's not just heresy. That's apostasy.
Now, thankfully, not all Christian alien believers claim this. Uh, thank goodness. Uh, but unfortunately, it is indeed implicit. It's latent in their own premises. It's like a pro-choice person saying they're against abortion. Uh, no. If you think murdering an unborn child should be civilly legal, then you're pro-abortion. No matter what you say about whether you're personally against it or not, period. You can't be against abortion meaningfully if you think it should be legal. Same thing here. Belief in multiple incarnations of God is a logical corollary to belief that the the same belief that all alien believers do hold. And what this means is that those beliefs themselves are implicit material heresy. Now, that's a very careful distinction. Uh, this this doesn't make you a heretic by itself. Being being a heretic. I'm not saying you're a heretic. If you believe in aliens, don't worry. I know there's better Christians and Catholics than I believe in aliens. They're mistaken. But but yeah, they're better better than I am. Not that that's saying much, but uh anyway, that doesn't make you a, you know, implicit material heresy doesn't make you a heretic because being a heretic requires the knowing obstinate denial of dogma. But it's still extremely dangerous, extremely damaging to your soul. And it's wrong, just like 2 plus 2= 5 is wrong, even though it's not a heresy, and you should flee from it.
Anyway, those who do defend belief in multiple incarnations of God, they pretend to get away with it because they completely abuse one small paragraph in St. Thomas Aquinas's Summa Theologica. It's such an abuse of Aquinas that it's actually the opposite of what he says. If you look at what Aquinas actually teaches, he says, "No, it's impossible for there to be multiple incarnations, multiple Jesuses." You'll see it very clearly in the Summa itself. I go into the details of that in my book. It'll be too long to go into it here. I don't want to I think uh most Christians will realize right away that's crazy. So I don't want to spend too much time on it here. Maybe I'll do another video on it if people ask for it. But anyway, let me again put on the screen here my art part a very small part at least of my argument on that so that if you want to you can pause and read those slides there more in my books itself.
All right. Contrary to these wild claims, let's take a look at basic Christian truth as expressed so well in the church's year 2000 document that you see on your screen right now. Dominus Iesus. This was written by Cardinal Ratzinger and it was approved by Pope St. John Paul II and it is such an important document. It completely repudiates the syncretism, the religious indifferentism that's so common today. It also completely repudiates the New Age movement in many ways. But it also completely repudiates belief in aliens. So let's take a look at just a couple brief quotes from it, but please read the whole thing. Cardinal Ratzinger approved by Pope St. John Paul II writes, "In contemporary theological reflection, there emerged an approach to Jesus of Nazareth." Now bear in mind they're using the the phrase Jesus of Nazareth there very deliberately so that you can't say oh universal Christ cosmic Christ like the alien believers do like Father Richard Rohr and so many other ones or or even the so-called Orthodox Catholic ones who believe multiple incarnations. No, we're speaking very specifically about the man Jesus Christ who was born on earth to Mary of Nazareth. Like Jesus of Nazareth. All right, back to the quote here. These trends in theology today. They say that Jesus reveals the divine quote not in an exclusive way. That the absolute ultimate mystery of God manifests itself to humanity in many ways and in many historical figures. Jesus of Nazareth is just one of these. And then Ratzinger writes that as Pope Benedict XVI, but who I'm sure will be a servant of God in the next couple years, he says, "These are in profound conflict. These ideas are in profound conflict with the Christian faith. The doctrine of the faith must be firmly believed which proclaims that Jesus of Nazareth, son of Mary and he alone is the Word of the Father. John Paul II has explicitly declared to introduce any sort of separation between the Word and Jesus Christ, remember we're talking about Jesus Christ of Nazareth, is contrary to the Christian faith, quote unquote." But all promotion of belief in extraterrestrials always, if it's if it's even attempting to be theologically consistent even slightly, it always means some sort of separation between the word of God and Jesus of Nazareth. But Ratzinger and and Benedict XVI here are pointing out very definitively that that's absolutely positively impermissible.
Okay, back to the quote here. One more brief brief excerpt from it. Got some basic Christology there. You know, Jesus Christ is two natures, human and divine, in a single person. And that's absolutely dogmatic. This has been reiterated dogmatically, more times than I can count. This isn't church councils. This is you can't believe in more than two natures. There's exactly two natures of God, human, sorry, of Jesus, human and divine. You can't say there's three human divine and Neptunian. You can't say there's four human divine, Neptunian, Alpha Centuran. That's absolutely blasphemous and apostate and heretical. Okay, back to the quote here. It says these ideas are not compatible with the Catholic faith. There is only one salvific economy of the one and triune God. There is only one order of salvation. In other words, you can't say, "Okay, there's messiahs in other galaxies or solar systems or whatever. They have their own their own paths to God." That's the exact same thing that the New Agers say about Earth, that all the different religions are just different paths of the same mountain. That's a blatant apostasy. The alien, the so-called Christian alien believers, they say the exact same thing implicitly, if not explicitly, because God would never create a rational creature without giving it the path back to himself. If you say that he would do that, you're accusing him of being evil. And that's that's also that's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. That's the unforgivable sin. So you're saying that there's all these other paths to salvation as one on Neptune and Alpha Centuri and the other dimensions and the other galaxies. That is the exact same apostasy as the New Agers, which any devout Orthodox Christian has known for decades is absolutely rejectable. But suddenly we're welcoming it back in back in under the auspices of the ET UFO deception which is exactly what we should have always expected if we were keeping our eyes open. The New Age movement itself was actually born from the UFO deception in the 1950s. More on that later.
All right. There are no other the point here is there are no other salvific economies other than the one revealed in Jesus of Nazareth the son of Mary on the third rock from the sun nowhere else period. And discussion uh the scripture repeatedly warns us even against the very suggestion that there could be other Christs. It says even even if we or an angel from heaven should preach another gospel, let him be anathema. And why would scripture say that unless it's coming unless it would seem because of course an angel from heaven would never actually do that. But unless it would seem that an angel from heaven would reveal a different gospel. Well, I think we're at those days right now. Any Christian should know to categorically and immediately reject any other supposed messiah. And yet alien belief requires believing in other messiahs existing. All right? We
Don't take time to discern whether some other Christ, some other messiah, some other savior is authentic or not. We just reject the presentation. Period. We don't even dialogue with it because you don't dialogue with the devil because you're not ready for that.
There is no other Christ. There is no other messiah. There is no other savior. There never will be anytime anywhere. Period. So if you're going to say there's aliens, you're saying that God abandoned them. You're saying God isn't good. Remember that's blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Don't say that. All right.
There's a lot more arguments about this. I'm going to leave them aside for now. Feel free to take a look at the books for them. Let's move on to um marology dogma about the blessed virgin Mary. Just as aliens cannot exist in light of what we dogmatically know about Jesus Christ, the eternal God, but also man, aliens also cannot exist in light of what we dogmatically know about the blessed Virgin Mary. Here, as with other cases, the ET promoters themselves understand this.
In a few minutes I'll have to again quote uh this individual but I'll quote him you know I already have before and I'll have to quote him again but I'm I'm going to quote him again now that big shot Oxford theologian and clergyman that I referred to before Dr. Re reverend Dr. for Andrew Davidson, uh, one of the theologians commissioned by NASA to study extraterrestrial intelligence and theological ramifications. He's trying to defend belief in aliens. And here's what he admits. He openly admits this in relation to uh, teachings about the blessed virgin Mary in light of belief in aliens. He says the best way to navigate these rule these roles this idea of of the blessed virgin Mary as the queen of heaven itself is to treat them as local or human matters part of our story in relation to our species. We may do well to set aside the language of queenship. So stop talking about the blessed virgin Mary as queen. You know that's of course demonic. We we need to be more devoted to Mary in these times, not less. But he's absolutely consistent. It makes abs it makes no sense whatsoever to to refer to Mary of Nazareth, who was born a couple thousand years ago. You can go visit her birthplace right now. I mean, makes absolutely no sense to refer to her as the queen of heaven. Uh if there's aliens, that that's that's insane. And and he's right about that. Of course, what he should conclude is that aliens don't exist. But instead, he said, "Let's just stop referring to the Virgin Mary as the queen."
Now, uh, another supposedly Orthodox-minded Christian theologian took a different stance, or may maybe, well, I guess it's kind of the same, but he just approaches it from a different direction. Uh, God rest his soul. Dr. Paul Sigpen, um, don't want to speak ill of the dead here. He's a good guy, but he was very confused in this point. He said uh that Jesus's mother, so he's defending belief in aliens. Jesus's mother and other planets would also be mother of God. Jesus would have several mothers. There would be multiple there there may be multiple incarnations, multiple mothers of God, multiple queens of the universe. This is so degenerate and I've I've talked about this in other videos, so I won't drone on about it here. Take a look at my earlier videos on this channel. But, you know, this this this trying to make our salvation history look like some sort of modern degenerate sitcom. This is so wrong. And, uh, I don't think I need to belver the point here for you to realize that, yeah, uh, what we as Catholics know with certainty about the Virgin Mary immediately and completely disproves the existence of aliens.
Now, most Catholics are clueless today on the Virgin Mary. They they they're basically de facto Protestants. But if you read what the church actually teaches in the Virgin Mary, you'll quickly realize just how much uh well, you'll realize a lot. But one of the things you'll realize is how this indeed refutes aliens. Take a look at just the uh proclamation of the dogma of the immaculate conception from Pope Pius the 9th. He taught that the Virgin Mary approaches as near to God himself as is possible for a created being. It's not even theoretically possible for anything God makes to be higher than Mary. Think about that. Mary's not just the greatest. She is that the greatest creature. You know, Jesus is the greatest, but he's God. Mary's not just the greatest creature. She's the greatest creature even possible. You can't even conceive of a creature greater than her. That doesn't even make sense. She's above all men and angels in glory. Second Vatican Council teaches that Mary far surpasses all creatures both in heaven and on earth. Again, we have that dichotomy. There's heaven, there's earth, that's it. Uh but it says at the same time because she belongs to the offspring of Adam, she is one with all those who are to be saved. Sit with that for a minute. It's precisely because so the Virgin Mary, she's she's as high above Adam as Mount Everest is above a molecule, even though Adam was unsurpassedly was unimaginably exalted as well. And yet it's because she's also Adam's child in in in one sense biologically. Um it's because she's Adam's child that what she's one. She's one. She's one. She's she's she shares our blood with all those to be saved. All meaning no one will be saved. There will be no incarnate rational creatures in heaven except for the family of Adam which is also the family of the blessed virgin Mary. Not just spiritually but physically. She is one physically with all those to be saved. That's mindboggling but it's true and is dogmatically true. And as a corollary it completely rules out belief in extraterrestrial intelligence.
So let's move on to our next point here. So the blessed virgin Mary is our mother, but she's also the mother of the church. And that brings us to ecclesiology. What does ecclesiology have to say about alien belief? Let's see. The Holy Spirit is the soul of the church. And I alluded to this earlier by pointing out that the Holy Spirit is not a monster. This is a something I wrote in the first and last deception. Now the Catholic Church, the the church that the Holy Spirit is the soul of this is a concrete institution existing on and only on planet earth. The church is one because of her soul. It is the Holy Spirit. This is from the catechism of a Catholic church. There is one father of the universe, one logos of the universe. St. Clement of Alexandria teaches also one holy spirit everywhere, one and the same. There's also one virgin become mother and I shall like to call her church. There is one and only one church. Pope Leo I 13th pointed out that as Christ is the head of the church, so is the Holy Ghost her soul. This being so, he said, no further and fuller manifestation and revelation of the divine spirit may be imagined or expected. For that which now takes place in the church, meaning the Catholic Church, is the most perfect possible. If you ponder that, you'll realize how even this teaching rules out belief in extraterrestrial existence. Uh they would have just as much of a right as us to their own church, their own uh institution, which the Holy Spirit would be the soul of. But that turns the Holy Spirit into a monster. Says he's the soul of with multiple bodies and that makes absolutely no sense. No, the Holy Spirit is the soul of the one and only church.
Everywhere you find belief in extraterrestrials, you find it inextricable bound up with the messianic expectation of aliens revealing to us higher truths, not only scientific but even theological. Take a look at any of the big biggest ufologists. All of them are promising not only technological revelations but even spiritual awakening from the dawn of the age of the extraterrestrial. All the premises of the antichrist right there. The other thing here is that it is not conceivable that multiple churches could have as their very soul the one holy spirit. One soul enlivens one body in the divine order. Let's take a look at the book of Ephesians here. It's all about one. One body, one spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of us all. You can't hold to this oneness of the faith, this oneness of God enlivening the faith. All of this is one. The very moment you even entertain the possibility of aliens existing, you've completely separated that oneness, you've ruined it in your own mind. Suddenly, you lose your peace in the oneness of what God has revealed. You wonder what's he holding back from you? What does he really mean? What is he really trying to say? Uh the fact is that there's one of faith, one baptism, one God and father of us all. So on and so forth. Anything that introduces a separation to that oneness is not from God.
All right. What about esquetology? Belief in aliens is also condemned by that by Catholic Christian scriptural teaching on the end of time. It's absolutely crystal clear on this point. The second coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh to earth is the absolute end of time. It's the it's the definitive conclusion of the whole material universe. Even the most zealous Christian ET promoters themselves admit that belief in aliens is incompatible with Christian dogma. On this point, I said a few minutes ago, I'd have to quote this individual again. So, here it is. The same uh theologian we've already considered before, Reverend Dr. Andrew Davidson. He has a whole chapter in his book defending and promoting alien belief on this. He says rightfully so, I mean under well accurately I suppose I should say that it's arbitrary to place human beings at the center of the timing of the escaton that is the end of time the timing of the end of time if there's aliens and you know of course obviously you know all you need is a brain to realize that if if the whole if the galaxies are filled with with civilizations full of incarnate intelligent beings it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to suppose they'll just blink out of material existence when the son of Mary of Nazareth comes back to the third rock from the sun in the near future because the book of Revelation says soon. Uh you know that that's that's crazy. That's outlandish. You have to not have a brain to believe that that's true. So understandably so. He says, you know, we have to seriously revise Christian teaching here to accommodate belief in aliens. And he's right. I mean, he's wrong. He's wrong to think that's okay. Of course, what you should do is reject belief in aliens on account of this, but he's correct that that would be necessary and he's being quite euphemistic about it. You need you don't need to just seriously revise it. You need to completely reject and and rebel against it. There's there's not the slightest room for Catholic Christian dogma on esquetology with alien belief. You can't possibly say that the that the end of time itself coincides with the return of Jesus Christ to Earth if there's aliens. That's a revolution against the faith.
Uh let's see what the faith actually does teach about this point. The book of Revelation as I said there the final chapter says this will be soon. Second Peter says the heavens will pass away with a loud noise and the elements will be dissolved by fire. Second Peter also says that this will come in accordance with the promise of the Lord to men. The first letter of Peter says, "The end of all things is at hand. Therefore, be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray." Final chapter of the Bible again. He who testifies to these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus." That's I believe that's like the second to last verse of the whole Bible. Fact, we're promised a new heaven and a new earth. When Jesus comes back to Earth, all the planets and galaxies and nebulas and stars, everything we could see or possibly could ever see with our telescopes and blinks out of existence, all those supposed extraterrestrial rays is gone when Jesus comes back to Earth, which will be quote soon. Of course is ludicrous. I suppose that that would actually happen that that that all of those civilizations would just cease to exist upon the second coming. And yet when that second coming does happen, we are promised that the dwelling of God is with what? With whom? Men. Revelation 213. The dwelling of God is with men. Not with all the rational creatures he made. Not with all the civilizations throughout the galaxy. Not with all the beings throughout the cosmos. The dwelling of God is with men. That is the descendants of Adam and Eve.
Now, if you're wondering, um, you know, I hate to bring it up, but Dr. Paul Fagben, God rest his soul, he also has a big chapter on how giving all these ideas about how you to reconcile alien belief with Catholic teaching on esquetology. And basically, he just ignores Catholic teaching on esquetology. He says, "Oh, well, maybe there's all sorts of different judgment days and each planet has its own, you know, judgment day, but that's that's just not that's completely contrary to the faith." Let's take a look what the faith does says here on your screen. The sec all we could I could go on forever with quotes like this, but the point is the faith has always understood that the second coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh to earth, that's not just the end of our history. That's not just the end of Earth's events. That's actually the end of time itself. That's literally the conclusion of the very idea of time. Like there's no such thing as time anymore. There's no such thing as the material universe anymore as we understand it. Once Jesus comes back, it's done. Period. Forever. Done.
Let's take a look at the perennial infallible faith luencium at the end of time when Christ our life shall appear. Pope Pius the 11th the mass will be offered till the end of time. Pope St. John Paul II glorious return of the son of God at the end of time. St. Arena father of the church god will bring his justice on the day of judgment at the end of time. Like Danius, another father of the church. At the end of time, he will pass judgment on the living and the dead. The Roman missile, the mass has its own infallibility to it, prays for us to hasten gladly to meet Christ when he comes in glory when at the end of time. And again, the Roman missile, Christ second coming, at the end of time. St. Thomas Aquinas Theological, when the resurrection occurs, it will not be time, but the end of time. Catechism of the Catholic Church when Christ comes at the end of time to judge the living and the dead. Again, we can go on forever with this. Um the it's settled. This has been rendered infallibly true a hundred times over via the census fidelium, the magisterium, the sacred tradition, not to mention scripture itself. The whole material ends when Jesus Christ comes back to the third rock from the sun. And that makes belief in aliens completely ludicrous and insane and impossible theologically.
Okay, let's talk about the Our Father. There's yet another point in the New Testament that rules out aliens. It's a strong one, but it's subtle enough that a lot of people miss it. The Our Father is the perfect prayer. The church teaches that the Our Father is quot the fundamental Christian prayer, the quintessential prayer of the church, the summary of the whole gospel. It's what some fathers of the church called it. St. Thomas Aquas called it the most perfect of prayers. And what is the central petition of the our father? Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. If there's aliens, then this most perfect prayer, the one and only prayer that Jesus taught and commanded us to pray, it's an abject failure because it's failing to pray for the vast majority of rational creatures who dily need our prayers. The fact is the Our Father says what it says because earth is indeed the only place where the accomplishment of God's will is even possibly in question. The it's the only place we need that prayer. Think about, you know, in heaven itself, we don't need we won't need to be praying that in heaven because God's will is always going to be done perfectly in heaven. And actually, it's the same thing in purgatory. Even though the people there are suffering, they're in complete conformity with God's will. They would have it no other way. So, we don't we need to pray for the deliverance of the holy souls in purgatory. Uh but we don't need to pray for them to do God's will. That's already done perfectly in purgatory. What about hell? Don't bother praying for anyone in hell. No one in hell will ever lovingly submit to God's will, no matter what prayer we might offer to that effect. So, what does that leave? Leaves the entire remainder of the cosmos. In the entire remainder of the cosmos. Uh there's no need to pray for God's will to be done as in heaven. Why? Because there's no rational creatures there. There's no rational creatures even capable of rejecting or accepting the will of God. And yet, if there were any rational creatures whatsoever, they would fundamentally be capable of accepting or rejecting it. That's inextricable from the gift of a rational free will. You have the ability to accept or reject God's will. Uh even the angels were tested before they were confirmed in grace. Everyone without exception who has a free will has this ability to accept or reject. So this idea that there's other rational beings in the cosmos and yet the chief prayer of the faith prays only for God's will to be done on earth as in heaven. That itself is just one of a million ways we can rule out the existence of extraterrestrials.
There is actually various blatantly diabolical, false private revelations out there, so-called private revelations that teach a new Our Father, because the demons who inspire them realize just how much of a problem the Our Father is to their nefarious plans. They replace quote on Earth with the phrase throughout the galaxies. They realize that uh these these demons realize that if the Our Father is the chief prayer of Christianity, it sure needs to be modified. If it's only praying for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. So more on these nefarious plans later.
We've seen so far that scripture rules out aliens. What about the magisterium? The magisterium is of the Catholic Church rules out aliens even more clearly and directly. So, while any Christian whatsoever should be able to easily see that aliens don't exist, it should be even easier for any catechized Catholic to see the same truth. Let's dive in and let's start where a Catholic should always start when he's wondering about what the faith teaches about something. The catechism. I've already done two whole videos precisely on this point on this channel, namely that the catechism rules out aliens. You can find them right here on uh DSD Oconor. So, I won't spend much time on it in this video. Some people uh seem to think because they saw that video that my whole argument against aliens is just this like one line from the catechism, which is crazy. I've got I've got many arguments against aliens and this isn't even my strongest. So, they're a bit confused. But anyway, this is a good argument and certainly the catechism does rule out aliens. So, let's take a look at it. Catechism teaches in paragraph 355, "Man occupies a unique place in creation. He is in the image of God." In case you're wondering what unique means, it means there's nothing else that has it. Man is the only image of God in the material cosmos. The next paragraph says, "Of all visible creatures, only man." Please take a look at those words. All and only do not forget them. Only man is able to know and love and creator. So you might think, okay, well maybe uh maybe you know visible creatures, what does that mean? Well, we know exactly what that means because we recite the creed every Sunday at mass. Of all things visible and invisible. God made visible things, namely incarnate things, things that are material, and he made invisible things, namely angels. Uh, obviously angels are able to know God. So, the catechism doesn't want to deny that, of course, of all visible things, which of course would include aliens if they existed, but they don't. Of all visible things that God made, only human beings, only descendants of Adam and Eve. In other words, remember the polygenism heresy, are able to know and love God.
Now, you might think, okay, well, maybe there's aliens that exist, but they just can't know and love God. Again, that's consigning yourself to blasphemy. God would never create a creature, a rational creature who can't know and love him. In fact, the catechism also teaches, I don't have a slide on this, but you can find it in my book. Catechism also teaches that the very faculty of intelligence of intellect itself means that you can know God. You don't need faith to know that God exists. That's a tenant of reason. You know, there's a number of of things about God that you need faith for, like the fact that he's a trinity and so on and so forth. But the fact that God exists and that he's good and various other qualities about him, those are those are um conclusions of simple reason. And the fact that they are conclusions of reason, that fact itself is a teaching of the church, as you'll find also in the catechism. So, this line of the catechism, it's definitively positively ruling out the existence of aliens. A number of career lay apologists have attempted to refute me on this, including uh Jimmy Aken on the Matt Frad show and others. I've completely refuted their arguments. Please see uh other videos on this channel. Don't want to waste your time on it here since I've already discussed that though. All right. Um if you want to pause the video and see a bit more of my argument on this point, feel free. I'm going to put the whole thing on the screen there before I move on here.
Another point worth considering is the compendium of the social doctrine of the church. This is actually reiterating basically the title of my earlier book on this. Only men and women only man and woman among all creatures were made by God in his own image. And what is the image of God? The image of God is having an intellect and a will. Only man bears his image. That's why I called it this. It's not, you know, al obviously I primarily have aliens in mind refuting that diabolical deception, but there's a number of other diabolical deceptions that also deny this same fundamental, existential, theological, cosmological truth about the creator and creation itself. One of the most core concepts without which you cannot even grasp the first thing about God and what he has done. Um that mankind, man and woman, children of Adam and Eve, we are the pinnacle. We are his image. Nothing else is. Not aliens because they don't exist. Not AI because it's a dead and dumb computer. It always will be. Not animals because it's great as wonderful as they are. I love animals. Uh they're they're irrational creatures. They don't have spiritual souls. So on and so forth. Um and other deceptions as well. There's plenty more to the magisterium of the church against belief in aliens than just the catechism and compendium of the social doctrine and everything else we've already considered.
Let's take a look at direct papal magisterium against belief in aliens. Let's take a look at the teachings of Pope St. Zachary and Pope Pius I centuries earlier. Papal magisterium was already directly condemning belief in aliens multiple times. In fact, this is Pope St. Zachary that you see on your screen here. This is in a letter he wrote to Pope, sorry, this is in a letter he wrote to St. Bonafice. He's he's writing this about some other cleric that Bonafice knew. And Pope St. Zachary says, "As for his perverse and abominable teaching which he has proclaimed in opposition to God and to his own soul's detriment, the report of his having spoken this be true. That is that there are another world and other men beneath the earth or even on the sun and the moon take counsel to expel him from the church." This is this is not he's not just saying this is an error or this is a mistake. He's saying this pope St. Zachary canonized St. Pope in a in a letter he wrote to another saint. He's saying that belief in other men and and this is in in the context of the debate in the antipod or the antipities uh this idea of the other side of the earth. Anyway, the pope is not doesn't care about the shape of the earth. He's not talking about that. He's denouncing this idea of another race of rational creatures that aren't men that they're not descendants of Adam and Eve. He's saying or or maybe even on the sun and the moon. There's some grammatical and translation and manuscript questions on that. I go into more detail in the footnotes in my books anyway so I don't get sidetracked here or whether you're believing in other races of intelligent creatures and on some mysterious other side of the earth the antivities or on the sun or the moon. He's saying that anyone who believes that even this priest this this cleric Virgil and by the way Virgil repented and actually became a saint himself. But uh to believe in that means you need to be excommunicated. He says and no I'm not I'm not advocating for the excommunication of alien believers because you know people are confused today. But back then, and I think this was the 700s or so, people weren't as confused and and who uh you knew full well back then that if you believed in nonhuman incarnate intelligence, whether it was leprechauns or elves or what have you, that you were just reverting to ancient paganism, the very ancient paganism that Christ rescued us from. The p the paganism that that was still common in a different way in the countries into which Christianity first spread. But today, people who believe in aliens, they don't realize that what they're doing is just reverting again to ancient paganism. But back then, they did re they did recognize that. And to believe in such a thing means you should be excommunicated according to the pope back then.
All right. And uh why do I have Gordono Bruno on the screen here? Well, this was actually used this uh this condemnation of alien belief from Pope St. Zachary was used in the trial of Giodono Bruno and many other testimonies were used as well. Belief in aliens a bit of a background here as I'm jumping several centuries ahead. Belief in aliens had infiltrated academia in Christendom around the dawn of the enlightenment and I I pin the dawn of the enlightenment as the kojito cartis in the 17th century. It also really picked up the invention of telescopes at the very beginning of the c 17th century. Already at that point right away Catholic theologians were pointing out that Pope Zachary's letter to St. Bonafice means that this idea of believing in extraterrestrials is heretical. You can find these quotes in my book first and last deception. But let's discuss this example here of Gordono Bruno specifically his excommunication condemnation and trial and eventually excommunication. This is, you know, this is another thing that the kind of career lay apologist crowd completely misconstr about this issue. This idea that Gordono Bruno, his condemnation had nothing to do with alien belief. In fact, it had everything to do with it. Now, Bruno, he's one of the biggest heroes of the alien believers. They think of him as their quote first martyr, the great martyr of alien belief. He certainly was a heretic. He was not a martyr. He was the first significant of infil significant infiltration of alien belief into Christendom. Before him, before Geodon Bruno, uh almost no significant Christian thinkers promoted or defended belief in aliens. You have to look extremely hard to find just a couple. But in the 1500s, Bruno, he started preaching all across Europe with with the fervor of an evangelist, as some writers have said, proclaiming that the universe is infinite and that it's filled with extraterrestrials. Now, you'll find misinformation, as I said, if you look him up, you they'll say, "Oh, no, he was condemned for other heresies, nothing to do with alien belief." And I don't mean just internet, you know, online apologists today. This. They've been at this for a long time, probably since the early 1900s, trying to rescue alien belief from the implications of Geodon Bruton's condemnation. In fact, his condemnation had everything to do with alien belief. Here's what a real scholar said who really dedicated himself to studying the original documents of Bruno's case. He said Bruno's claim that is of multiple inhabited worlds was considered heretical. Many authorities denounced it, including theologians, jurists, bishops, one emperor, three popes, five church fathers, nine saints. Bruno's belief in many worlds was the most frequently recurring charge in his trial. 13 times, 10 depositions, six witnesses accused Bruno of believing in many worlds, meaning in aliens. No other accusation was invoked even half as much as his belief in aliens. St. Robert Bellamine. Bellerin even condemned him for it. Belleramine if if you're a Catholic hopefully you know he's a great doctor of the church one of the most authoritative theologians ever. And then this author points out Bruno was condemned for several heresies. But the one about multiple inhabited worlds was the strongest case against him.
All right. So back to Pope Zachary. What do you think? You think you can just say, "Oh, no, no, it's okay. I'm not saying there's aliens on the moon or on the sun. I'm just saying that there's aliens on Alpha Centtory, so it's fine." No, saying that aliens are in another solar system or galaxy or dimension or whatever, that doesn't make a quote perverse and abominable teaching in opposition to God just fine and dandy. In fact, it changes nothing. And when you combine that view with the idea that aliens are now here on Earth, it becomes an even more abominable teaching. I'll get to that later. But it's not just Pope St. Zachary. It was also Pope Pius I as I had in the screen just a moment ago. You can find this right on your desk copy of Denzinger, the most popular compilation of Catholic dogmas. I'm sure you've got it all right on your desk. Anyway, here's the teaching. Pope Bias II, Kumi Achapimus, this was from the 1400s. And he condemned quote the most pernitious errors, a sacriigious attempt against the dogmas of the Holy Father. And what was this pernitious error? It was quote the idea that quote God created another world than this one. And in its time many other men and women existed and consequently Adam was not the first men. End of quote. So this of course is yet another clear condemnation of alien belief. The pope is teaching that it's abominable to believe in other worlds of other men and any attempt to wiggle out of it completely fails. I don't want to make this video even longer than it's going to be. So, I'll refrain from going into that right here. I'll again toss it on the screen here if you want to pause and take a quick look. But you can find even more details of these in of these uh rebuttals of those who would try to dodge Pope Pius I Pope Zachary's condemnations. Uh you can find that in my books.
All right. Next item, the consensus of the fathers. Any consensus of the fathers of the church on a matter pertaining to the faith is ipso facto automatically dogmatic truth. You can find this fact demonstrated in many authoritative places. Here is just one quote. It is not permissible for anyone to to interpret holy scripture in a sense contrary to the unanimous consent of the fathers. And that's from the first Vatican Council, dogmatic constitution on the Catholic faith. You can find it in plenty other places. Council of Trent and other church teachings. So yes, if the fathers of the church agree on something, it's a dogma of the faith. It just so happens that the fathers of the church were well aware of belief in aliens because ancient Greek paganism, which Christianity first spread into, it was full of alien belief. The noble Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, they rejected it. They con they completely rejected belief in multiple worlds and aliens in other words. But the degenerate philosophers embraced it especially Democrus nicurus the famous ancient Greek atheist materialist and the famous ancient Greek hedenist pleasure seeker. Even 2,400 years ago therefore the sheep and the goats were being separated by this issue just as it will be in the days ahead. Anyway, since the fathers of the church were well aware of this issue, any Christian should run to see what they said on it. And as soon as you do that, I don't suppose that at this point in this video, you'll be surprised to hear what they said. All the fods of the church who spoke on it on the question of alien belief agreed. They condemned belief in extraterrestrial intelligence except for origin. But origin was condemned by the church as a heretic. So guess what? If a formally condemned heretic is the only one giving a desending vote, that does not mitigate the consent of the fathers because heretics do not get a vote in the consensus of the fathers. Now origin said plenty of great things too but no we should not consult him in determining the unanimous consent patronum the consent of the fathers that is the agree or the agreement the unanimous agreement of the fathers anyway this is not just me saying this as you can see on your screen here uh take it from another Catholic scholar this is Dr. Marie George she's a philosophy professor at St. John's University. She she did an extensive study of the fathers of the church in this question. And here's what she concluded. Here's what she discovered. I should say my position on the early church fathers and doctors of the church is that all of them who explicitly raise the question of whether there is one world or many or who at least take an explicit stand on the question reject pluralism that is belief in aliens with the exception of origin. Nothing in tradition supports the notion that a plurality of inhabitable planets exists. Church fathers who consider the question of a plurality of worlds plainly come down on the side of a negative answer. Every church father and doctor who paid some sort of attention to some version of the of many earths, that is the alien question, always rejected the notion with the single exception of origin. End quote. So, she's absolutely right. Every single father of the church who wasn't a heretic condemned alien belief. Only the heretic origin supported it and that tells any serious Christian all that they need to know.
Let's take a quick look at just some of the teachings of the fathers of the church on this question. First, the greatest father of the church, St. Augustine, he said, "Whoever is born, whoever is anywhere born a man, that is a rational mortal animal, no Christian can doubt that he springs from Adam." That's right. In the city of God, book 16, chapter 8. Feel free to take a look for yourself. So, uh, elsewhere in the city of God, St. Augustine also rejects quote Epicurus's Epicurus's dream of multiple worlds. Excuse me. He also St. Augustine also specifically rejected those who try to modify alien belief a little bit to purge it from of some of its heresies, but still retain the alien belief. Belief itself because he did reject quote those who although they do not suppose that this world is eternal they're still of the opinion that this is not the only world he says even that is rejectable uh Eicurus again remember this Epicurus that St. Augustine was rejecting. He was the ancient Greek hedonist, pleasure seeker who believed in aliens. Now when the ancient talked about this question, they called it the quote many worlds question. Today's scholars who chronicle the ancient discussion on this refer to it as the pluralism debate. But it's exactly the same as today's alien debate. Obviously, many planets exist. That's not a meaningful question. It never was. What the ancients were talking about for all intents and purposes is the exact same thing we are speaking about today and even the alien belief promoters agree with me on that that this same discussion has been going on for a long time. Somehow they fail to see that this argues against their view not in support of it. I've got a whole chapter on that in my book. Anyway, what this means is that ancient paganism is coming back with a vengeance and in a far worse way than ever before. More on that later in this video.
Okay, on to our next slide here. Let's take a look at Tertullian church father. Tertullian says, "Alone among all animate beings, man can boast of having been counted worthy to receive the law from God as an animal endowed with reason." And well, there's more on there, but that's the gist of it there. We human beings, man, we are the only animate beings who have received a divine revelation who are endowed with reason. And that's why wise he says every single thing in the material universe is ours. Next church father St. Felastrius he says he taught there is another heresy that says there are infinite and innumerable worlds according to the empty opinion of certain philosophers since scripture has said that there is one world and teaches us about one world end quote St. philastrious father of the church. What's noteworthy here is that this church father, he's using the same reasoning that I did in the first argument in this video. Scripture reveals one race made in God's image, one theater of eternal destinies, one world of rational creatures. And if you have the slightest understanding of the immensity and meaning and context of divine revelation given to us in scripture, then that fact alone makes you immediately realize that the case is closed. Salvation history is missing no chapters. Therefore, extraterrestrials don't exist. If only people realized that salvation history is missing no chapters, we wouldn't have Mormonism or Islam or Adventism or uh so many other of the cults that we've seen or belief in aliens.
All right. Next, father of the church, St. Jerome, one of the greatest church fathers. He translated the official Bible of the Catholic Church. He famously said that ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ. And here's what he said. He said the belief in innumerable worlds is one of the heresies quote unquote in the books of origin. Yet another reminder to us that aliens do not exist, but also that origin support for belief in them is a good argument against aliens, not an argument in support of believing in them. S by the way, here's another slide here. St. Jerome also said that it is crazy it is mad oops it is madness to change a few blasphemous passages in origins books regarding the son and the holy spirit but then publish the rest unchanged with an unprincipled eulogy when the parts unaltered as well as the parts altered flow from the same fountain head of gross impiiety quote St. Jerome he's pointing out even back then some people are trying to just you know purge origin of a few errors but still promote his fundamental deception. Jerome is saying no that is madness.
All right. No we're not done. Next St. Hippolitis. St. Hippolitis he wrote Alenus I believe it was called the reputation of all heresies. And what did he include in it? He included belief in many worlds. That is belief in aliens as one of the heresies that he was condemning. And this is another deception here. Some of the big shot scholar alien belief promoters try to pretend that he was promoting alien belief when in fact he was condemning it by including it in his list of heresies. So that's the view of the fathers of the church. What do we have in the other side? What do we have among the fathers in support of the opposite conclusion that aliens do exist or that we can at least believe in them without being heretics? Crickets. Just the crazed ramblings of the heretic origin.
Now, one more father to quickly father of the church to address quickly here. There's a few authors out there who have abused St. John. He has a quote about how God is powerful enough to make innumerable worlds, not that he actually did so. St. Johnston was giving a meditation on God's omnipotence, not a license to believe in aliens. In fact, Professor George, who I quoted earlier, she was in particular rightly very much bothered by this attempt. And here's what she wrote about it in a longer version of the passage that I shared excerpts of before. She said, "A careless reading of certain petristic authors makes one might leave one to think that they endorse alien belief. In fact, these authors, these fathers are simply affirming that God is able to make many worlds." For example, St. John, he's not making a case for the existence of many worlds. All the church fathers who consider the many earth question, even if only implicitly, give the negative answer. And here's another scholar I quoted earlier as well about Gerrodono Bruno. He lists St. John as teaching that belief in aliens is heretical. He says John Christo said that it is heretical and contrary to scripture to assert that there are many heavens and orbs that heretics believe in other starry heavens and worlds. End quote. Now I haven't been able to find the direct quote itself from St. and John Graasm. So, I don't tend to dwell on this point because I don't want to dwell on anything that I can't definitively prove, but I highly doubt that that scholar that I just had in the screen there, Dr. Alberto Martinez, I highly doubt he would just make this up. So, the very father, yet another father likely uh in the uh in the camp of, you know, contributing to the consensus of the fathers that belief in aliens is heretical. Anyway, you'll find all the all the citations for all those quotes in my book. Please get it. The first and last deception.
All right. Let's broaden our question here. Obviously, scripture is infallible. We've seen that it repudiates belief in aliens. Only had time to go through a fraction of my arguments there, but you've seen a good port, you know, some of them at least. The magisterium, of course, the magisterium of a Catholic Church, that's also infallible. It repudiates belief in aliens. The consensus of the fathers is infallible, as we've seen. That condemns belief in aliens also. But that's not all. We have yet another infallible source to consult the census fidelium. So let's move on to that now.
Indeed the census fidelium is infallible. And what this means is that if at a certain time all the faith will believe something about the faith that something is true. Period. This is another simple correlator to the fact that God is good and powerful. All powerful. All good and all powerful. And he's not going to let all of his faithful children believe a lie on a matter that pertains to the faith. Frankly, the infallibility of the census fidelium should be common in sense. But the church also teaches that it is indeed the case. Let's take a look. The whole, this is from the catechism of the Catholic Church, the whole body of the faithful cannot heir in matters of belief. This is shown in the supernatural appreciation of the faith when they manifest universal consent in matters of faith and morals. Quote unquote by means of the sensus fiday the church. This is from the international theological commission of the Vatican. By means of the sensus fiday the faith will recognize what is in accordance with the gospel and reject what is contrary to it. Quote unquote.
Now, if you pulled the faithful today about the existence of aliens, obviously you wouldn't have a consensus. You'd have tons of Christians and Catholics saying, "Yeah, we believe in aliens, or at least we're open to belief." But that's irrelevant because if we're talking about fundamental uh constituents of the truth here, all you need is a consensus of the faithful, a census fidelium at one point in time. And if you have that, then that tenant of the census fidelium is automatically, infallibly, and therefore permanently true. Why? Because truth doesn't change with the times. As GK Chesterton said, we don't need to check the calendar to see if it's Tuesday or Thursday to see if the truth is what it is. It simply is what it is. And the entire unanimous consensus of the faithful pre-enlightenment is extraordinarily easy to discover on this question. Here it is the great chain of being. I have there also on the screen a highlighted quote from St. Thomas Aquinas. It is not possible for there to be another earth than this one. Anyway, I'm well aware of the fact of course that an illustration doesn't prove anything. This is simply uh an illustration of what the faithful have always believed. This is all that exists. The hierarchy of creation all the way from God down to uh immediately below him we have the angels and then men and then animals and plants and minerals and then you know hell there at the bottom so there's no gap as I say there on the screen you have no gaps in this this illustration of the hierarchy of creation this was what was always understood by all the faithful of the church before the enlightenment.
God, angels, men, animals, plants, inert matter. That's all that is. No gaps.
Now, what we're focusing on here is the angels and men part. The key is to understand that there's nothing between those two. They are adjacent. And anytime you look at what Catholics have said about this, you'll see that they always define all, I repeat, all rational creatures as consisting in, not including, consisting in. Quote: "men and angels." There is absolutely no other rational creature in existence except for men and angels.
Pure spirits and human beings, angels and demons on the one hand, those are the pure spirits. You know, demons are angels broadly considered, uh, they're fallen angels, angels and demons, and children of Adam and Eve. But don't take my word for it. Just look at the faith of our fathers. Every saint, every pope, every magisterial document from every century in all of church history.
St. Justin Martyr, father of the church: "For God wishing both angels and men who are endowed with free will." Only angels and men.
Next quote, St. Augustine: "a society composed of angels and men together." So that there are not four cities or societies, two of angels and as many of men, but rather two in all, one composed of the good, the other of the wicked, angels or men indifferently.
St. Augustine, yet again: "After the resurrection and the final universal judgment has been completed, there shall be two kingdoms, heaven and hell. Both, however, consisting," don't neglect that key word there, "con." Oops, didn't mean to switch the slide. "Consisting of men and angels."
Angels and men. All right, next slide here. We could go on and on with these.
St. John, another one: "As we saw a minute ago, falsely accused of supporting alien belief. He says, 'God said over all, one in the same head, Christ, according to flesh, alike over angels and men. He hath given to angels and men one in the same government.'"
St. Francis de Sales: "All of God's works are ordained to the salvation of men and angels. He chose to create men and angels to accompany his son, participate in his graces and glory, and adore and praise him forever."
Pope St. Gregory the Great: "the rat number of rational creatures, that is to say of angels and men who are formed to see God."
You have to understand, it's so important to realize here, this is not just referring to angels and men as, as, as two types of beings that are included among rational creatures. These people, these fathers and popes and saints and doctors, they're saying that it consists in, meaning it com-, it is completely exhausted by. The only examples of rational creatures are angels and men. That is to say, in other words.
St. Francis de Sales again, great doctor of the church: "that all the principal parts of the universe which might render him honor to it. In other words, that is to say, angelic and human nature." Only angels and humans are even capable of rendering God honor because only we have a rational free will.
St. Alphonsus, yet another doctor of the church: "Above all, I rejoice that God loves Mary more than all men and angels."
We have even more here. Didn't realize I had this many slides on this. All right. The, uh, the future is uncertain, full of cares, but do not lose heart. Rather, so display yourselves, presenting such a spectacle to the whole of creation, men and angels alike.
This is now we're going into papal magisterium. This is Pope Pius the 12th. He's speaking specifically here of the whole creation. And he's saying that that is men and angels. And of course, there's plants and animals too. But he's speaking here of those who are capable of rationally accepting some presentation here. And that consists, the whole thing consists of men and angels.
Pope Leo the 13th: "The Virgin Mary is superior to all the hierarchies of men and angels."
Second Vatican Council: "Mary has been exalted above all angels and men."
Pope Pius the 11th: "Christ is to be adored by angels and men, and to him as man, angels and men are subject."
Okay. On and on and on. The liturgy also refers to angel and men as the only rational creature. Sacred art refers to angels and men as consisting as being the constituents of rational creatures of the universe. Sacred architecture, sacred music, all the same.
Even every single authentic private revelation that has ever been received by any authentic seer in church history has always referred to angels and men as the only rational creatures. In fact, a number of authentic private revelations explicitly say there's no aliens. And a number of obviously demonic so-called private revelations say there are aliens. Hm. I won't go into detail on that now because I plan to do another video on precisely that question soon. So, please subscribe.
Anyway, if you read traditional Catholic material, you'll come across references like this all the time. That was just a small taste of what I put on the screen and read, um, just over the last couple minutes. Uh, just last week, I was listening to The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. It's one of my favorite things to relisten to while I'm doing manual labor. And, uh, in, in just what I was listening to last week, Dante refers to angels and men as the only creatures in existence who have rational free will.
So it's just, it's everywhere. I mean, this is the census fidelium. This is the faith of our fathers. Period. Definitive on this point alone, along with the countless other arguments we've already seen, proves there are no aliens. The only rational creatures are angels and men. That is, descendants of Adam and Eve. Because, as we've seen, the, uh, dogmatic teaching on polygenism rules out any other men that could possibly exist who aren't descendants of Adam and Eve.
Now, someone might try to say, some critic might try to say, "No, no, no, Daniel. The census fidelium doesn't apply here because this isn't a theological question. It's a scientific one." To that person, I would say, just go back towards the beginning of this video. As we saw then, no, this is not merely a scientific question. This isn't just about astronomy or biology or physics or something like that. Sure, the consensus of the faithful could be wrong about merely theologically irrelevant scientific questions in centuries past. The question of the existence of aliens is the most theological issue you can imagine. As we already saw, if all the faithful were wrong on it for the whole of church history up to the Enlightenment, uh, which, by the way, should actually be called the Great Darkening. Like, if something started at that point, you should doubt it, not support it. Uh, if that's the case, that all of our fathers in the faith were just wrong for 1600 years, then the census fidelium doesn't exist. But it does exist. There is such a thing as a census fidelium, and it is infallible. Therefore, there are no aliens.
So, the census fidelium is yet another proof that by itself completely disproves belief in aliens. And before I move on to the part of this video considering the prophecies briefly, let's do one more refutation of alien belief. And let's save the best for last. Let's use precisely the means of discernment insisted upon by our Lord himself. He said that every tree is known how? By its fruits. Discern by the fruits. Jesus himself in the gospel made it extremely clear how to go about discernment. And that is how either make the tree good and its fruit good, as he says, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad. For a tree is known by its fruit. That's in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. For each tree is known by its fruit. He doesn't say that some trees are known by its fruit. He doesn't say that each tree is suspected by its fruit. He says each tree is known by its fruit. We can discern with certainty using this method. Jesus says, and this is great. This is thanks be to God for this method of discernment because sometimes you're not positive about some question, some theological matter directly. In the case of alien belief, we are, as we've already seen in many cases. But nevertheless, we can still use this means of discernment even when we don't have theological deduction. Uh, we do have theological deduction here. But even if we didn't have it, we could still use simply, uh, spiritual discernment as exhorted to by our Lord to reach the exact same conclusion that we've already reached independently many times over.
At this point, Jesus exhorts us. If you're confused about the tree, what do you do? You look at the fruits. If the fruits give a clear verdict, then the matter is settled. So, let's take a look at the fruits of alien belief. That's a theological posture. Openness to belief in aliens, or even affirmative belief in aliens, or even belief that they're here on Earth. That's a theological position that must be discerned, that must be tested with a fruits-based discernment.
First of all, real quick, before we even dive into the so-called Christian, uh, support of this, first I should note that every pagan religion believes in aliens. Hinduism believes in aliens. Buddhism believes in aliens. Mormonism believes in aliens. Sikhism believes in aliens. Jainism believes in aliens. Even Islam believes in aliens. I've got a chapter on this in my book. Please read it. It's only ancient Judaism and Christianity that reject belief in aliens. In other words, only authentic divine revelation. That's pretty telling in and of itself, isn't it? In fact, that itself should settle it for any, uh, clear-thinking person. Even before we dive into a fruits-based discernment, a Christian alien believer should realize how much he's implicitly blaspheming his own faith here by saying aliens exist. Because he's saying that every other world religion in history, they're all right. You know, all the, all the false religions of the world, all the major false religions that the world has today and that the world has seen for the last several thousand years ago, they're all right. It's just my own religion, Christianity, that's completely clueless upon this most fundamental question of creation. Uh, I hope I don't need to belabor the point here that such a posture is completely and absolutely unacceptable.
So, let's get back to discerning the fruits here within Christianity. In the days of the fathers of the church, everyone realized that alien belief was just another ancient pagan heresy that Christ rescued us from. As we discussed, the only exception in those days was Origen. What was the fruit there? Well, his theology ruined countless souls and the church condemned him. In fact, the church, I think it was, was it the Council of Chalcedon? Anyway, it's in my book. I can't remember off the top of my head. The church didn't only condemn Origen. It said that if you fail to condemn Origen yourself, then you are condemned. It's really severe. Like, as a Catholic, you, as a Christian, you have to condemn Origen. Any, and that doesn't mean you have to condemn every single thing he said. He said plenty of great things. But just Origen as such, you got to condemn him. Doesn't mean you're saying he's in hell. It means you're condemning his, his teaching. All right.
After Origen, for over a thousand years, alien belief was completely non-existent within Christianity. You know, every now and then a heretic would spring up to say it, but basically non-existent. It's really fascinating. I've read all of the best scholars in this question. They themselves, they love charting out this debate throughout history, and they like to pretend that it's just this ongoing thing, but they can't find anything between Origen and Giordano Bruno over a thousand years. It, it, it's, anyway, please see the chapter on that in my book, The First and Last Deception. It's really fascinating to look at the history of this from an unbiased lens because all the alien belief promoters there are pushing an agenda.
Anyway, so we got this non-existent alien belief for a thousand years in Christianity. We have it reintroduced into Christendom with Giordano Bruno. What were the fruits there? Giordano Bruno ruined countless, of countless souls with his theology as well. He was condemned by the church, excommunicated, and burned at the stake. And by the way, the church has never apologized for condemning him because it stands by it. He was, uh, preaching diabolical heresy with his views of aliens. Anyway, another rotten fruit.
Then came the Enlightenment. The Enlightenment started just a few decades after Giordano Bruno's death. And this is where it starts to get really prophetic here. The catacomb, the restrainer spoken of in scripture. It started to be weakened. The sum of Christendom, the restraining force of, of Catholicism on earth. Uh, yes, there's specific aspects of that as well, especially with the Pope, and there's interesting things of the Roman Empire there. But just let's just think generally of the restraining, the restraining force against evil with the Protestant revolt that started in the 16th century. That restrainer started to get seriously weakened. And it was only then that we saw alien beliefs suddenly infiltrating Christendom. Interesting, isn't it?
So, uh, when we have the Enlightenment flourishing, we see alien belief really spreading among academics. Immanuel Kant, probably the chief Enlightenment thinker, he said that he has strong faith in the existence of aliens. And he even said, "I would bet everything I own that there's aliens on the planet in our own solar system." Of course, he was wrong about that. And Kant was quite a psycho. He was a high IQ psycho, but a psycho nevertheless. His goal was basically to create a sort of pseudo-Christian ethical commonwealth that could build a moral version of Christianity, but without the supernatural stuff, you know, the dogmatic baggage.
I've got chapters on what was going on in Christian alien belief in the Enlightenment and into the 1800s in my book. I can't go into details now for the sake of time. The occultism that was flourishing then, uh, you really are going to want to read about that. But anyway, if you take a serious look at what was happening, the truth, as always, comes out. The great deception was already being prepared. Even back then, the devil had started his long game.
Anyway, cults, they've obviously been a big thing for a long time now, but there is a specific brand of cults that became popular a few hundred years ago. Scholars call them "new religious movements." I quoted one scholar of these new religious movements, uh, earlier on in this video, Father John Celiba. But anyway, the first of these new religious movements was a pseudo-religion called Swedenborgianism. Swedenborgianism still exists today, but it began in the 1700s. It was founded by Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg, he believed he was in contact with, you guessed it, extraterrestrials. Of course, in fact, he was only in contact with demons. But these demons gave him the diabolical power to do remote viewing, seeing events that are happening simultaneously somewhere at a distance. And if you've perused UFO material at all, you know that remote viewing is huge in those circles.
Demons do not know the future. Only God knows the future. So the so-called prophecies of demons, they always fail in some major respect. Unless, of course, the demons are simply disclosing their own nefarious plans that they themselves know they're going to undertake. Then sometimes you can have a fairly accurate demonic so-called prophecy. But generally, they fail. At the same time, it is easy for demons to see what's going on presently anywhere on Earth. And they often give the ability to see those things to those who foolishly make occult contact with them. Even if these silly people think they're actually getting these abilities from extraterrestrials or parapsychology or whatever other diabolical deception is popular in a given day.
Anyway, Swedenborg was able to see things that he couldn't possibly physically see. So, he impressed a lot of people, even the governor in his hometown. And all of the cults of the last 300 years that have exploded throughout the world, they're all in one way or another children of Swedenborgianism. In other words, they're children of belief in aliens. The biggest cult ever, in one sense of the word, the general New Age movement, it came explicitly from, it was a birth from ufology. The New Age movement came from the UFO religions of the 1950s. Any Christian knows, any, any serious Christian knows that the New Age movement is completely occult and diabolical. But all of that, all of that horrible stuff is just one of many rotten fruits of belief in aliens. Got a whole chapter on that in the book. It's fascinating. Please read that chapter.
Anyway, how are we doing so far with the fruits? Not good. Exceedingly rotten fruit. Horrendously rotten. Diabolically rotten is all that we see coming from belief in aliens. So you might wonder, did that change in the decades and centuries after Swedenborg? Emanuel Swedenborg? Nope. It only got way worse. The demonic movement known as Theosophy was inspired in large part by belief in these non-human intelligences. Uh, Madame Blavatsky, I believe was her name, who founded it, and she believed in these so-called ascended masters on Venus. Her Theosophical occult pseudo-religion caused the ruin of innumerable souls since it began in New York in the 1800s.
About the same time came Seventh-day Adventism. I'm sure you know about that. It's another pseudo-quasi-semi-Christian religion, and it still has tens of millions of adherents alive today. It is explicitly and outrageously anti-Catholic and heretical and blasphemous. How did Seventh-day Adventism start? It began as a supposed solution to the theological problems of extraterrestrial intelligence. So, like the, the so-called Orthodox Christian alien belief promoters today, they presuppose the existence of aliens. They assume that aliens must exist, or that it must be okay if they exist. And then they proceed to build a theology off of that false premise. And that theology that they build is always completely heretical, blasphemous, diabolical, or what have you. Just like Seventh-day Adventism. I'm not saying this, they come to the same conclusions. I'm saying they'll come to false conclusions, or whatever they may be, because they're building off of a false premise. Ex falso quodlibet, anything follows.
All right. Ellen White, her diabolical false revelations described all sorts of visions that she had of these majestic, super-evolved alien races. And that's how the religion came to be. Again, as with everything in alien belief causing the ruin of innumerable souls. What else did the 1800s see the beginnings of in this domain? Mormonism. I'm sure you know all about that as well. Mormonism also has tens of millions of adherents today. Now, Mormonism, it doesn't just speak of aliens like Adventism does. It wasn't just trying to solve that issue like Adventism is. Mormonism is basically a sci-fi deception in and of itself. There's already tons of videos and exposes on Mormonism's outrageous beliefs about aliens, so I won't spend much time on it here. Feel free to look into it. Read the chapter of my book on it. Uh, it's almost like a UFO cult.
And that brings us to the 20th-century UFO cults, the century of the literal, uh, organizations explicitly dedicated to these beings that are supposedly now on Earth. Because everything changed in the year 1947. This I cannot overstate enough. I can't be emphatic enough about how pivotal that year was, about how everything lines up prophetically about that. If I try to go into that in this video, I'll make it outrageously long. So, please take a look at the opening chapter of my book for that. It's extremely important. But at that point, alien belief became tangible. It became not just this abstract thing. It became this idea that they're here and everything's about to change. It became downright messianic, pseudo-messianic. Roswell, Kenneth Arnold. After that point, the world was never the same. We went from almost no UFO sightings before 1947 to hundreds of them every year after that point. All of which are fake in one way or another. You know, they're either hoaxes or hallucinations or scopos or diabolical. None of them are actually aliens, of course, because aliens don't exist. But anyway, at that point, there was an explosion of UFO cults, UFO religions dedicated to these supposed aliens that people now believed were on Earth. Scientology, Raëlism, the Athetheria Society, the Urantia religions, Heaven's Gate, Nation of Islam, the Solar Temple, it goes on and on and on. For the last 80 years now, we've had an utter explosion of so-called religions explicitly dedicated to UFOs and extraterrestrials. If I were to attempt to review even a fraction of the fruits of them here, this video would become hundreds of hours long. They've produced an avalanche of diabolically rotten fruit across the world for the last 80 years. And not a single good fruit.
In fact, the biggest mass suicide in American history was undertaken by the so-called Christian UFO religion, Heaven's Gate. They thought they could meet the aliens, but be behind the Hail-Bop Comet, if only they took their own lives. And that's what they did. And members of that so-called religion who weren't there for the day of the event itself, they took their lives later. So, no, this wasn't murder. It was, it was suicide, if anything ever was. I've got a whole chapter on that as well in the book. And this is just another fruit of alien belief. Specifically, it's a fruit of the type of alien belief that arises when you try to merge Christianity with ufology. That's uniquely dangerous because you have the sci-fi nonsense and the messianism merged into one antichristic amalgamation, hastening the apocalypse. Uniquely dangerous. The fruits have proven that time and time again. And that's why it's the deception of the Antichrist. Superficially, the Antichrist will be very much like Christ. If you're waiting for someone to come just, just hating him and blaspheming him explicitly, you don't know. You're not ready. As Fulton Sheen said, the Antichrist will will will speak so highly of Christ. The Antichrist will say that Jesus was the greatest man who ever lived, but not that he's God in the flesh. Again, got a chapter on that in the book. Please take a look.
Then we've got Raëlism, another major UFO religion today. It is explicitly the religion of the Antichrist. Unlike Heaven's Gate, which tried to be more Christian in many ways, Raëlism exists to this day. It hasn't had a mass suicide effort, I'm aware of at least. And it is, you know, let's just take a look at a couple slides here. It's, uh, founder, he calls himself Raël. I believe his name is Claude Vorilhon or something like that. He claims over 100,000 followers. It's also the biggest and richest movement on Earth right now that's trying to build the Third Temple in Jerusalem to welcome the extraterrestrials when they come. That's, uh, this is, there's a really troubling convergence of events going on right now, right in front of us in the news. And the Raëlian religion, massive and rich and influential, is working to build this embassy in Jerusalem, and they are insistent that it will be the Third Temple as predicted. They've even got this timeline here. They believe all this has to happen by the year 2030.
And it's not, I've got, got a couple slides here. This is quite, this is a bit of a change of pace here. But real quick, uh, this is, there's many, as I said, there's many, uh, different things converging in front of us. This is Avi Loeb. He's one of the most prominent astronomers in the world today. He's a big shot Harvard astrophysicist. He's been, he's all over the news. He's, he's hell-bent on insisting that extraterrestrials are here. But he is also a cultural Jew. He's probably an atheist, but, you know, like most of them. But he's a cultural Jew. And he remembers well his religion. And he's always speaking about Jerusalem and the Messiah, and how, uh, all of these things connect. And again, he's one of the biggest names in ufology. He believes extraterrestrials are going to save humanity. He thinks the Messiah is coming. Now, of course, any Jew knows to be awaiting the Messiah. They don't realize that he came 2,000 years ago, but, but at least they should recognize that their religion is fundamentally one of anticipating the Messiah. But they are priming themselves to simply welcome the ex-, the Antichrist under the guise of UFO disclosure because they think the Messiah, this guy speaking for so many, anticipates the Messiah not arriving as Jesus did on a donkey, but on a spacecraft. As the Pharisees said in Jesus' own day, he can't be the Messiah because we know where he's from. He's a son of Mary of Nazareth, son of Joseph the carpenter. But none of the Old Testament, none of the valid Old Testament prophecies said they wouldn't know where he's from. But are the Jews, are at least many of the Jews of today still under that same deception that will have no idea where the Christ comes from? Well, they are priming themselves in accordance with the same lie they, these Pharisees spoke in scripture 2,000 years ago. They are priming themselves to welcome the Antichrist under the guise of the Christ, not knowing where he came from. And that's just one of so many different things aligning right now.
Here's also Avi speaking of the Holy of Holies, thinking that it was some sort of technological transmitter to communicate with an extraterrestrial superhuman entity. He is really describing the deception of the Antichrist, thinking that he's describing the coming of the Messiah in a sort of secular sci-fi way.
Anyway, I'll be speaking more about the, um, ufologists and the other signs of the times going on in the secular world today that are, uh, speaking to the imminent rise of the Antichrist. I'll be speaking more about that in upcoming videos. Please subscribe. But for now, what I want to point out is that every spiritual group that's been inspired by the idea that aliens exist or that aliens are even here on Earth, every single one has only produced rotten fruit, diabolically rotten fruit for 80 years now, or 250 years if you want to go back to Swedenborg, or even further if you want to go back to Giordano Bruno.
Now, I know that a critic will say, "Daniel, most people aren't in UFO cults." And indeed, I acknowledge most of them are not in actual literal cults. But the fruits are thoroughly rotten even for the ordinary UFO folk as well. I'll get to that in a moment. But first, we need to acknowledge something about the UFO religions. The UFO cults, the UFO religions, or whatever you want to call them. In a certain way, they are analogous in a certain nefarious way. They're analogous to religious orders. In Catholicism, consecrated religious, they live the same type of life as all are called to, but in a radical way. They're evangelical, uh, vows. It's, it's radical Catholic living. And in that sense, the religious, the consecrated religious, pre-, you know, nuns and monks, they're supposed to be signs of contradiction, signs for all the faithful on what we should be aspiring to in our life. And of course, the fruits of Catholic religious life are overwhelmingly good. As with anything in this world, this fallen world, there's some bad apples mixed in. But all in all, the fruits are overwhelmingly good. I mean, you can't think of anything in the whole history of the world that has done as much good as the Catholic religious orders.
The religion of alien belief on the other hand, because it is intrinsically a religion, as all of the serious scholars who have studied it have noticed, this is not just a matter of the UFO cults. UFO belie-, alien belief itself has actually become the de facto form of contemporary religion in a frightening way. Got a very important chapter on that in my book. Anyway, those who are actually in the UFO cults, they're perversely analogous to consecrated religious. They live the fundamental tenets of ET belief in a radical way. They're basically just taking this fundamental premise that aliens exist or even that aliens are here on Earth and they're fully living it. They show the conclusion of those same beliefs, the definitive conclusion of them. Just like the, the monks and the nuns show the full living out of the radical call of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Radical Catholicism makes saints. Radical belief in aliens makes mass suicide, theft, fraud, ruined lives, broken marriages, broken homes, diabolical possession, and mass. And on the list goes.
But what about the ordinary so-called ordinary UFO alien believers? Do their beliefs generate good fruits? No. I've been studying this extensively for many years now. I have yet to discover a single proven good fruit. I've scoured everything there is to find on it. There's millions upon millions at this point. Maybe even there's billions of ET true believers. We seem to have tipped the scales now. Most people think aliens are here. Uh, everything is lining up for this to be the great deception. Millions at least of people consuming their lives with the UFO rabbit hole, dedicating their lives to so-called disclosure and the, the quote paradigm shift that they think is coming. Zero good fruits from all of this. At the same time, tsunamis of rotten fruits. Again, all of the biggest ET UFO promoters are spreading completely blasphemous, apostate, life-destroying messages. Please see the chapter on that. Um, every promoter, every big, every known promoter of alien belief out there, even the so-called good Christian ones, they are leading people into spiritually demonic realms. Every one of them, many of them are leading their followers explicitly into actual full-blown possession, especially young people.
And let's take a look at what even some of the promoters themselves have admitted. Here's what one UFO researcher, John Keel, he's by no means saying aliens don't exist, but even he, even he from what he discovered in his own research said this: "To deal with UFOs is just as dangerous as black magic." And I'll just add there, gee, I wonder why. Well, should be obvious to any Christian why. Because both derive from the same source, namely the demonic source. All right, back to this quote. "In many cases, this leads to acute schizophrenia, demon mania, even suicide. The mysterious charm of the UFO phenomenon can lead to terrible tragedies. Therefore, I strongly recommend parents forbid children to pursue an interest in such issues. It is the duty of teachers and of any adult person to protect children from UFO hobbies."
And that's part of why I do what I do. I am, I'm obviously an adult. I'm also a parent and a teacher and a number of other things. And I see this as part of my duty and calling to warn people against this. Not because I just want to be vindicated, not because I want people to agree with me, but because I want people to go to heaven. And this is ruining souls. If you saw even a fraction of the testimonies I've received, uh, just since I've been speaking out about this, about people whose own lives had been ruined or whose families' lives are being ruined by this, you'd be blown away. This is ruining people. And if you have had the slightest exposure to those who actually take alien belief and ufology really seriously, you know that some experience and you don't need convincing.
But let's take another look at what some other people are saying here. Not just ufologists who are famous, but also ordinary so-called true believers are obsessed. I, I just was perusing, uh, the UFO discourse on social media one day, and here's what I stumbled upon. Here's a quote from my book. This UFO researcher, pop-, podcaster, I should say, wrote on Twitter, I think it was, that, "The fact that the UFO phenomena managed to disrupt my entire life and make me walk away from the career I spent 15 years building is kind of wild. And I've met so many people with the exact same story." Quote unquote. And the followers were just all completely agreeing. One said, "It is taking up, it is taking over my life. It is literally, literally taking over my life. And as much as I try to get back to being normal, I just can't break away." Another said that, "Interest in UFOs will ignite an awakening. The idea is not to get stuck in the lower realms of the ETS UFOs, but ascend higher." Ascend higher, in other words, meaning get more occult, get more pagan, get more diabolical with it.
And what I have found over so much research over so many years is that this ET UFO true believer talk is identical to that of any cult. The movement's followers praise obvious vices because that's what the cult exists for. And that is what all ET UFO belief consists in: praising these obvious vices, fostering them, making them worse.
All right, so all the fruits are rotten. You know, this point in and of itself could be a massive book, and my chapter on it in my book, there, uh, is indeed quite large because of how important this point is. But for the sake of time, instead of going on any longer about this here, I'll just put up a little table on the screen for you to summarize some of it. Here's a bit of a summary of discernment. This is only a tiny fraction of what we could say about this, but, uh, it's a succinct version of at least, I've got a table there because, you know, we should be fair. We should, we should, uh, compare the good fruit to the rotten fruit. Right? So I've got two columns on my table. One for the good fruit of alien belief, that's on the right-hand side there. One for the rotten fruit of alien belief, and that's on the left-hand side.
We've got millions sucked into the UFO rabbit hole, having their families and careers destroyed. We've got so-called abductees. That's going to have to be another video that I'll have to do soon. I've interviewed a number of abductees and I've come, not just from research, but from my own sitting down with people who've had these experiences. I can testify to you that it is diabolical, 100%. Uh, we've got the, the mass suicides, the largest mass suicide in UFO in, in, sorry, US history. We've got sci-fi, that's going to be another video that I'll have to do soon, grooming us to accept this antichristic agenda. We've got the godless ideologies of the UF-, of the ufologist. We have the New Age movement itself. We have all the heresies infiltrating Christianity thanks to ET belief. We've got these diabolical and false ET revelations like Urantia. We've got these completely fake mystics and seers leading people to perdition. And then we've got so much heresy even within the church thanks to this EFO deception, thanks to this ET/UFO deception. All the while we have zero good fruit, absolutely nothing on the other side.
So this is not a difficult question to answer. Uh, as I wrote in the book, if the devil has ever, in the whole history of the world, made his pervasive presence clear in defining a movement, then that movement is the one which believes in or anticipates contact with extraterrestrials. So, you can believe in aliens, or you can believe in Jesus's word that a tree is known by its fruit. But you can't believe in both. One or the other has got to go. And I sure hope it is not the words of Jesus that you discard.
Got many more arguments against alien belief than just what we've gone over here. Please check out my books to find them. As, as long as this has been, it's still barely a preview of the ways we can disprove aliens. I'm sure you have questions, even objections. I've considered them. I've answered them. You'll find the answers in The First and Last Deception. Or if I couldn't fit it in that book, you'll find it in my massive reference work, Only Man Bears His Image.
So, let me conclude my argument against aliens with one more slide here. Let's take a look. If just one of these is correct, and I couldn't even fit in just the title of each of my arguments here. If just one of these is correct, then the conclusion follows. Genesis rules out extraterrestrials. The fact that salvation history is missing no chapters rules out extraterrest-, rules out eschatology. Pope St. Zachary, Pope Pius X, the Catechism, eschatology, the consensus of the fathers, the census fidelium, discernment by their fruits, ecclesiology. These are just a handful of the arguments that independently rule out the existence of extraterrestrials. If even now, all of these are correct. I have spent an immense amount of time studying and analyzing these, and these themselves are only a fraction of the arguments, and these themselves are only the theological ones. I didn't even get into my scientific arguments against extraterrestrials, which are also definitive. If just one of these is correct, if just one of these arguments is correct, aliens don't exist. And it just so happens that all of them are correct.
So, am I, as my critics say, quote, "arrogantly limiting God by saying that aliens don't exist?" No. The alien believer is arro-, the the alien promoter is arrogantly limiting God by saying that aliens exist because he's saying that God is too stupid or shortsighted to mean what he said, what he said in divine revelation, what he said by guiding the Magisterium, what he said by forming sacred traditions' development, what he said by inspiring the census fidelium, and on and on and on. So, don't ever let yourself, don't ever let yourself be bullied into being open to alien belief by someone who says that you're limiting God if you reject belief in aliens. That's nonsense.
And this is just the theological argument. As I said, we've got so many more arguments we could consider. I decided not to include them in this video because it's already too long and I didn't want to make it even longer. I'll publish another video on that soon. Please subscribe. But at this point, I hope it's clear to you that aliens do not exist and that we can know that aliens do not exist. If you're a Catholic, and if you realize that the word of God is true, and that the Magisterium is true, and that sacred tradition is true, if you have this gift of faith and you realize those things, it should be very easy for you to realize that as a corollary to those premises, you can know that aliens do not exist. And that conclusion will protect you largely from what's coming.
Because, as I said, this is not just another error, alien belief. It's not just another mistake. It's not just another mistaken view. I'm not spending all of this immense amount of time and effort for so many years now just to try and get you to have the correct opinion on some random theological question. Of course, as we've seen, alien belief is tremendously damaging in and of itself. But it's also more than that. This lie that aliens exist, especially this lie that they're here on Earth, it has the makings of a deception of biblical proportions, if anything ever did. And I've already focused on that in a number of videos I've done. So, I'll keep this final part of this particular video brief, but it's very important. So, please stay tuned.
The prophecies of scripture. A lot of people, sadly, even a lot of Christians, they're embarrassed by the very idea of prophecy. It sounds so medieval, so outdated, so biblical. Well, yeah, it's biblical. The Bible very clearly and repeatedly foretells things that will happen on Earth before the end of time. Not things that might happen, things that will happen. The Bible is the word of God. Every word of it is infallible and inherent. So the things that it says are coming, they're coming whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not. And sacred tradition and the Magisterium, which are also infallible, they confirm all of this. So what does the Bible say is coming? Let's take a look at a number of excerpts.
First, 2 Thessalonians. St. Paul speaking here in scripture, the infallible word of God. He says that this day will not come, meaning the second coming of Christ, the end of time. It won't come until the rebellion comes first, the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of perdition who exalts himself, proclaiming himself to be God. It talks about the restrainer being taken away to make way for this coming of the lawless one. Quote: "By the activity of Satan, with all power and with pretended signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are to perish, because they refuse to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore, God sends upon them a strong delusion to make them believe what is false." Okay, that is going to happen. That is sacred scripture. Second Thessalonians describing the Antichrist.
Now, let's, you might think, man, that's, that can't possibly be about today because either, either that's going to be a billions of years from now or whatever, or it's just stuff that already happened in the beginning of the church and we're done with prophecy. Both of those are absolute nonsense. So let's take a look at what the Pope has said. This is Pope St. Pius X writing in the Magisterium in his first and greatest encyclical, *E Supremi*, on the restoration of all things in Christ. He's talk-, he prophesied here in this encyclical about, well, the restoration of all things in Christ, the era of peace. But he also prophesied about the great trials that would come before that era of peace. And he said here, in the beginning of the 20th century, describing the perversity of the world, saying, "It may be a foretaste and maybe even the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days." And the last days doesn't mean that the world is about to end tomorrow. It just means we're in the general vicinity of those apocalyptic events revealed in scripture. He says, "There may be already in the world the quote son of perdition of whom the apostle speaks." And that reference there to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, that's in the original text. I did not add that. That's in the encyclical itself. And that's from the passage that we just read about the strong delusion, the great deception, the lying signs and wonders. This is the distinguishing mark of the Antichrist. Pope St. Pius X says so.
And of course, you know, Pope St. Pius X, he's not, he's not teaching magisterially that the Antichrist was alive. He was simply teaching magisterially, magisterially, that he might be, that it made sense to think of him as alive back then. Now, of course, that would be a bit preemptive unless the Antichrist was given preternaturally long life, which is possible, though I doubt it. I think it was just a bit of an early warning. Uh, in the early 20th century, it, as a, as a matter of magisterial teaching, made sense to think to consider that the Antichrist could have been alive then. Much more so is that the case now because we are now seeing every sign that we should know to look out for coming to be.
So, I, if, if you come across some careerist Catholic who just scoffs at prophecy, as scripture says, you know, "in the last time they will become scoffers who say, 'Where is the promise of the fathers?'" And whether those scoffers are atheists or careerist, career apologists who just despise prophecy for their own reasons, it's all the same. It's all these scoffers that scripture has foretold is coming. So, uh, those scoffers, they're, well, they're scoffing at not only scripture, but also the Magisterium of the Popes here, as you see.
Okay, let's take a look at what the fathers say about that. St. Augustine, greatest father of the church, speaking about, uh, commenting on 2 Thessalonians, he said that this will come when men are ignorant of the devil's power. Remember 2 Thessalonians, let me go back to that. Second Thessalonians says that in the end times, this Antichrist will come with power and pretended. Pretended meaning lying. They're deceptions. They're really happening, uh, in front, in front of our eyes. They're not our imagination, but they are deceiving us. They are not the miracles or the scientific marvels that they pretend to be. They are diabolical illusions. So St. Augustine says that, yeah, people will fall for this because it'll happen when the devil puts forth more power than he has ever been, uh, put forth before, which is exactly today. Precisely as no one even believes in the devil anymore, as fewer and fewer even believe in the devil anymore, he puts forth more signs and wonders than ever before, as the prophecies have said.
And where are we seeing those signs and wonders? Nowhere other, even close to as much as in the UFO ED deception. Nothing else even comes close. No other contender for the great deception. No other lie, no other heresy, no other blasphemy has the sign, the lying signs and wonders that the UFO deception has. No other blasphemy has been prepared for. No other deception or heresy has been, has had the groundwork laid for it for decades and decades in fiction, in government, in pop culture, everywhere. I've got a whole huge number of chapters in my book about this because it's so vital. I'll do more videos on this soon. But we have been groomed for this in every way you could possibly think to look out for for decades now. Even if this weren't the devil's plan, and it has been, but even if this were not the devil's plan for the great deception, ask yourself, why would the devil reinvent the wheel? All the groundwork has been laid. The red carpet has already been laid out through everything we've seen with the lying signs and wonders of the ET UFO deception, and everything is indicating that it's only going to get worse in the days ahead.
The great deception will also be a test. This is also clear in scripture. We have the, um, we have so many other quotes we could go through here. I'm going to try and zip through these now because I need to end this video so that you guys can go to sleep, and I'll do more soon. But the Galatians.
I've alluded to this quote earlier. Even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached, he is to be accursed, anathema. Second Corinthians. I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning or craftiness, that your minds will be led astray from the simplicity of purity and devotion to Christ.
And then even Jesus himself in the gospel says that in the end times there will be, uh, false messiahs and false prophets who will perform signs and wonders so great as to deceive, if that were possible, even the elect. Meaning, even the church, not the magisterium, but even many in the church will fall for this great deception that is coming. We're also warned in scripture that the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and the doctrines of demons.
When do the demons, uh, see the opportunity to instruct the entire world? Not just individual pagans and occultists who do something very foolish through Ouija boards or seances or what have you, but the entire world. When can they disclose their own agenda to the masses at once? Well, I just said it, disclosure, which means the same thing as revelation. Disclosure is the devil's parody of divine revelation or apocalypse.
Yet again, second Timothy, the time for the time is coming when people will not endorse sound teaching, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. That is so key to understanding the great deception that in the last times, men will turn away from the truth and wander into myths. What is our modern myth today? It's not Thor anymore. It's not Zeus anymore. It's science fiction. And for the last several decades, science fiction has groomed us like nothing else for the coming of the great deception.
This is why I have a large section on this in the book. A number of people have have contacted me saying that that was actually the most important section in the book, which I didn't anticipate. But, uh, it can't be overestimated, really, how much we have been formed. You know, the stories form our collective imagination, and that in turn forms our destiny, largely for better or for worse, whether we are formed by the true story of salvation history or the fake and diabolical stories of science fiction. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with some innocent entertainment, but I'm saying there's also a diabolical undercurrent in many of those movies, and I chart that out in the book. Please don't let yourself or your loved ones be deceived by the nonsense that we're being fed in so many works of science fiction. Be especially on your guard against what Steven Spielberg has in store for us. Uh, please stay tuned. I will be very quick to respond to whatever he's got in store for us with disclosure date. All right, moving along here.
The apparent solution in the Antifi, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, also speaks of what's coming. In paragraph 675, it says, "Before Christ's second coming, the church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many, many believers. It will unveil the mystery of iniquity." That's right from 2 Thessalonians there. In the form of a religious deception here, let me pause and inject a couple of my own points here. The this idea of alien, it's increasingly presented as a religious deception. You constantly hear this presented in theological terms. Suddenly, this is becoming a religious deception. A religious deception, what? Offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. An apparent solution to their problems. The ET deception started precisely when the cold, sorry, the UFO, the ET deception is older, but the UFO deception started precisely when the Cold War started, and almost immediately, in 1947, and almost immediately, the extraterrestrials were presented as the solution to our supreme problem, the problem of nuclear annihilation. Right away, Hollywood, just a few years after the Cold War started, 1951, The Day the Earth Stood Still. The extra, the noble, messianic extraterrestrial. These silly, these these naive, foolish Catholic pastors, even back then, were saying, "Oh, that's this is about Jesus. The Day the Earth Stood Still." No, that movie was an extraterrestrial coming and threatening us with annihilation unless we hand our free wills over to AI robots. This has always been the the the paradigm of the Antichrist has been laid out to us in sci-fi for almost 80 years now, and it is diabolical to the core. More on that later. Anyway, from the beginning, this idea of extraterrestrials has been presented as the apparent solution to our problems. And suddenly, here in 2026, the prospect of nuclear war is reaching a fever pitch like never before since the onset of the Cold War itself. Everything is coming full circle now. The same problem, the same solution, the so-called extraterrestrials.
Then the Catechism says, "The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in the place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh." So the Antichrist will be, well, the opposite of Christ. He will superficially honor Christ, no doubt, but, uh, Jesus Christ will likely be presented, "Oh, he was just the lesser brother. I am the full revelation of the extraterrestrials," is what the Antichrist will deal with, say. And this will be a pseudo-messianism. Why? Well, pseudo meaning fake, messianism meaning a means of salvation. This idea of extraterrestrials as messianic is becoming clearer and clearer everywhere you look.
Let me go a few things, a few slides ahead here. We see this in every ufologist we look at. David Grush, he just came out today, as I'm recording this here in, uh, early May, saying, "Oh, he's a Catholic, and we shouldn't, we we shouldn't think that ETs are demons." He is blatantly, uh, giving the premises that you would expect from someone who is under the delusion of demons. He's saying that the extraterrestrials mean a new era of spiritual awakening, a future where we no longer need to speculate about our place in the cosmos. Why? Not because of God, not because of scripture, not because of the saints or revelations or or or anything, but because of the aliens. That's why we no longer need to speculate about our place in the cosmos. This will cause ontological shock, but it will unite us. This is so diabolical to the core. So pseudo-messianic. The pseudo-messianism of the ET deception is fooling everyone, even supposed Catholics, as apparently David Grush is. Every aspect of it fulfills the prophecies. The strong delusion of second Thessalonians that we already talked about. The great deception, the wandering into myths of second Timothy. The teachings of demons of one Timothy. The lying signs and wonders. The lawless one. The false snares, the, the sorry, the false Christs that will ensnare even the elect. The religious deception, everything.
If you are wondering, let me, let me put it differently. A while ago, I was thinking of trying my hand at fiction. It would probably be terrible because, you know, I don't think I could write fiction to save my life, but I really enjoy apocalyptic stuff. You know, I really loved reading *Lord of the World* by Robert Hugh Benson. And I was saying, you know, I should write a, I I should write an apocalyptic work of fiction. And I didn't actually start on that, but I was going to. And when I started really, several years ago, uh, diving into researching this, you know, I started fighting against this publicly over 5 years ago, but in the years before that, I was already researching this and preparing. Um, when I started really researching this UFO ET deception, I realized there's no need for me to write a work of fiction about the apocalyptic deception. I couldn't even imagine, even with the full freedom of fiction, I couldn't even imagine a more fitting fulfillment of the prophecies of the great deception than what we're actually seeing playing out before our eyes. And, uh, for me to show with the news stories what's going on, that'll have to, I'll have to save that for another video. But suffice it to say that you will doubtless see it yourself now that you know what to look for. Now that I've, now that I've, you know, shown you some of the theological bedrock premises here, and now that you know what to keep an eye out for, you'll see it everywhere.
Here's just a few, a couple quick pages from my book. We see all of the chief components of Christian religion, of Christian revelation, uh, parodied and perverted by ufology. Every single aspect of it. We see the ape of the church. Um, we see the ape of Christ's divinity, the aping of the divine, of Christ himself, and basically everything. Here's the world's most famous abductee, Whitley Strieber. He presents the quote visitors, that is his aliens that he thinks are visiting him. He thinks that they will emerge to save us from the peril that our planet is in. And he thinks that's coming very soon. And here is a quote from *First and Last Deception* where I just point out that everything that's happened in ufology is a fulfillment of the prophecies. Whether it's in fiction with, uh, starting with *The Day the Earth Stood Still*. Whether it's the ufologists themselves like Steven Greer, promising this messianic intervention from the extraterrestrials. Whether it's the cultists from Scientology and Alistair Crowley, whether it's the UFO, whether it's the, uh, so-called whistleblowers like David Grush and Lue Elizondo, saying that Lue Elizondo, his his, uh, *Age of Disclosure* documentary, he says that everything you learned in Sunday school is wrong. Why? Because the aliens are about to be disclosed and change everything. Uh, he has been so diabolically pseudomessianic in everything he's said about this. Whether it's the pioneers of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the the official government-backed search for extraterrestrial intelligence started in the 1960s with Frank Drake. Why did he start it? He started it because he thought he was going to find the key to immortality from the aliens to avo, so-called great scientists searching for extraterrestrials. All of them present pseudo-messianic, antichristic ideals as their church, as their, um, as their inspiration. And in the church, I didn't talk about Mania Karata Baluchi, but he and so many others, even within the church, Lord have mercy, are the source of so much diabolical deception. Then I point out there in the bottom paragraph, no other phenomenon rivals the antichristic nature of the ET deception in even one of these arenas has, but all of them together, lockstep in their agreement on one nefarious agenda. I challenge anyone to present a single other phenomenon that we have witnessed that comes close to this one in displaying every trait that a discerning Christian should expect to see in identifying the great deception. I am not holding my breath. Indeed, I'm not. Uh, I've been, I've been writing and speaking, warning about coming chastisements and apocalyptic trials for a very long time now, probably almost 20 years. And I've never seen anything that comes close to the ET UFO deception in showing every single hallmark that we should know to expect for the great deception itself. This is it. And the most, the most prophetic voices out there, whether or not you you mean that in the literal sense, like, you know, private revelation and seers and prophecies and stuff, like just the most cutting insights coming from the most insightful, uh, voices. They seem to all realize that. You know, I just, I showed you earlier the interview I, I alluded to the interview with Scott Hahn. Mar on that later when I get more going in my, uh, documentary that I'm working on.
Let's just take a look at a couple other quotes here. Father Donald Calloway, he's probably the one of the greatest, if not the greatest, warriors for devotion to Our Lady and St. Joseph in the whole church today. He emailed me personally saying that this UA, he doesn't believe in aliens, and that it is a deception from hell, and he's absolutely right about that. And he says, "May the Immaculata crush this demonic nonsense." Father Thomas Weinandy is one of the greatest theologians alive, if not the greatest. He was the chief doctrinal, uh, voice for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. He wrote saying that aliens do not exist. Absolutely. Not just that they don't exist, but that their existence would be contrary to God's eternal plan for the whole of creation, for human beings, and above all for Jesus himself. He says that believing in aliens can wreak havoc on the gospel. End quote. Uh, Father Stanley Jaki, one of the greatest Catholic scientists in modern history. Uh, he was regarded as one of the five Catholic scientists who helped shape our understanding of the world. He's got lengthy, uh, discussions of how the e, the ET and the AI deceptions are so demonic. He pointed out that behind these bravados about extraterrestrials, you either see the strategy of the devil or you remain blind. He was a priest, theologian, monk, world-renowned physicist, as I said, uh, a true prophet right there. Father Stanley Jaki. Many more quotes from him in the book. Please take a look.
Anyway, this all gets back to the point, the more fundamental overarching point that history has a symmetry to it. The beginning of history was the glory of God. In the beginning, there was the beauty and the perfection and the holiness of God's will reigning on earth. And what ruined that? A non-human intelligence deception, a supposedly speaking serpent, which was just a disguise for the devil, deceived Eve. She dialogued with that speaking serpent because she bought the lie that non-human incarnate intelligence exists. And because she entered into that dialogue, she was defeated. Because as soon as you dialogue with the devil, you have already been defeated by him. But as St. Thomas Aquinas says, as the end of a thing resembles its beginning, it is not possible to be ignorant of the end of things for which we know the beginning. History began in the glory of God. It was this original glory was ruined by a non-human intelligence deception. And in the end times, it will be the converse. A non-human intelligence deception again will seek to come in and ruin the climax of God's work in the incarnation and redemption 2,000 years ago. And it will be triumphed over by Jesus Christ, who will defeat the Antichrist. And in a perfect symmetry of history, just as the glory of God living in his will was ruined by a non-human intelligence deception, so his will will triumph over a non-human intelligence deception. Thus, history's symmetry is fulfilled because symmetry is the chief quality of beauty, and history is beautiful because history is the story of God. But our job is not at all to participate in that folly. Our job is, as the book of Jude says, to save some by snatching them out of the fire.
So, I've barely scratched the surface in this video. Please read the book to see more. Aliens do not exist. We know this as Christians. We know this as Catholics. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise because in the days ahead, a lot of people are going to be telling you otherwise. Big shots in the world, and even big shots in the church. They're going to gaslight you and bully you and lecture you into being open to extraterrestrial belief and even then extraterrestrial contact. These so-called aliens are just the latest disguise worn by demons. Have nothing to do with it. As for me, I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right here continuing to crusade against this deception, and I'll fight it wherever it rears its ugly head. Please share this video and please subscribe because I've got a lot more coming to keep you safe amidst this present incoming great deception. God bless you.
We've been told this is the age of disclosure. The extraterrestrials are about to be revealed. They say the non-human intelligences are here and everything you know is about to change. But what if our age is an age of something else entirely? I decided I needed to know what was really going on. I spent years studying the phenomenon and then I started traveling the country to discover for myself what was happening.
>> Pastor Mike, what brings you to the premier UFO event of the year?
>> And I was in a flight engineer in the Navy on a large 70-ton airplane called a P3 Orion. I've got over 10,000 flights.
>> Christianity is quite possibly the most problematic. Hold on to your hats. We're going to have it's disclosure is going to be amazing. Um, it could take two months to learn all degrees so we can eliminate ignorance.
>> Okay, but we'll still, we'll still die.
>> You can, if you want to. Don't be surprised if the average life expectancy increases to 800.
>> There's a way of communicating with these beings. And when your reality is not what you've been told, who you are is not who you think you are. Once we can come into coherence, then we can meet other beings openly that want to bring us to the next level.
>> I lost it in the stars in the Milky Way and I had 2010 vision.
>> Wow. I was on my way.
>> You saw this with your own eyes.
>> Yes, sir.
>> Didn't fit with any of my biblical training or background. There was no hell there. There was none of that. I had to reassess everything that I was taught about God. If you read the Bible, it can be better explained through aliens instead of through religious magic.
>> And I'm an evidential psychic medium as well as a UFO experiencer, a contactee, abductee, and also in the secret space program.
>> I interviewed some of the most popular authors and podcasters on aliens and UFOs. I interviewed so-called alien abductees and ET contactees.
>> I'm an abductee. They investigated my case. It turned out to be one of their best cases, if not the best case from last year.
>> I even talked to some people who had much passion, if not a whole lot beyond that.
>> Area 51, Bald Lazar, totally real. Charles is the reptilian hybrid dynasty to to set over planet Earth. Charles can shapeshift and the queen can shapeshift into a lizard person. It's true. And I'm telling you now, moon, but listen, they blocked it off. The good, the good, uh, ETs have taken over the moon.
>> Um, I am pretty famous on TikTok because that's that's where my content is about UFO existence. I just saw a bright light in the sky. I looked up. So it had been a UFO.
>> Were you near Disney World?
>> Uh, yes, I was.
>> The the feline race that's been fighting the reptilians for the last 10 million years. I'm telepathically connected to them. They're real.
>> You got to believe in something. For you, it's it's aliens. For me, it's always going to be aliens.
>> They're going to tell you Jesus gives you eternal paradise for heaven. You know, they can reincarnate you. But I'm telling you, you can, you can, uh, contact them. The C5, Steven Greer. I was a normal person, a school teacher, hunter, football, and I'm in aliens now. They talked to me. They're real.
But more importantly, I interviewed the best scholars for their takes. And I extensively researched everything there is to know about the matter from scripture, the fathers of the church, the magisterium, and empirical science. I'm an engineer and a college professor of philosophy and religion, and I have meticulously analyzed the phenomenon from every angle you can imagine. I've published thousands of pages of material on it and multiple best-selling books, and now I'm compressing it all into one documentary.
is a huge cross-section of ufologists and alien afficionados who get into these spirit guides. And I've seen that firsthand. I've witnessed that firsthand. Jesus of Nazareth is the universal Christ. And there is no other. See, I understand that it's tempting speculation about extraterrestrials, you know, and, uh, multiple incarnations and all of these counterfactuals. They they strike our curiosity as being interesting. But, you know, St. Thomas Aquinas warns against this subtle vice of trio. What I have discovered is that disclosure is the very opposite of what everyone is telling you it is. It's not the beginning of the era of the extraterrestrial. It's the beginning of another era entirely. For decades, we've been treated to a constant stream of UFO documentaries, all saying the same thing. Aliens are here and the government is hiding them from us. But that's about to change because disclosure is about to happen. Then we'll have utopia, quantum leaps in evolution, astounding technology, infinite free energy, even spiritual awakening. Now, it's time for the first documentary that will give you the truth of the matter, the Christian truth, the scientific truth, the apocalyptic truth. And this truth is far more remarkable and life-changing than anything about little green men. That's the truth. Did you get all?
