Are UFOs Demonic?

 Since the government released a cache of files of supposed UFOs online commentary is buzzing about what this all means?  Including Christians.  In past years I don't remember hearing much discussion in Christian circles about UFOs.  In a CHRISTIAN POST article today (June 2) a chief exorcist in DC suggests that the best explanation might be demonic.  Here is a quote from the article:

 Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, who serves as chief exorcist for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, joined the growing chorus of Catholics and other Christians warning that UFOs and related phenomena are likely demonic.

During a brief message posted last Friday to the YouTube page of his St. Michael Center for Spiritual Renewal, Rossetti noted the growing national conversation about UFOs. He acknowledged that believing life exists on other planets is theologically neutral, but warned that demons may misrepresent themselves as extraterrestrials to manipulate and deceive…

"But there's a danger here ... as an exorcist, I wanted to raise that danger: and that is that demons like to hide, they don't want us to know they're around," he said. "They don't want us to know what they're doing because they're more effective when we don't realize it. And they can kind of get into your head ... and manipulate things in the world to influence us to do evil."

Citing his experiences as an exorcist ministering to those suffering demonic affliction, Rossetti said spirits can sometimes manifest in the physical realm, often as "shadow men," orbs of light or even "beast-like creatures."…

Rossetti's warning regarding the potentially demonic nature of UFOs and other occult phenomena echoed that of Father Chad Ripperger, an exorcist serving the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Denver.

During an interview with former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan that aired in March, Ripperger noted that most "alien abduction" scenarios have all signs of demonic possession.

"I actually did a conference on this more recently, where I parse out 10 different ways in which ... those abduction scenarios, if you actually look at what the 'aliens' are supposedly doing, is identical to the same things that demons do ... to people who are possessed," Ripperger told Ryan.

I know we can't say conclusively that what he claims is true.  But it's intriguing, and helpful.  We need to be discerning.  That much I can say with all certainty, for we know that Satan masquerades as an angel of light.  What do you think?

Historical Roots of the Warham Guild Hood

Image
In doing just a little checking on the internet, it's interesting to see how the Warham Guild hood, which I have as part of my STM degree attire, is actually a throwback to the Medieval hood. One article notes "the work of the Warham Guild in its imaginative renderings of medieval hoods" (reference is from here ). Again, here is my hood: The Medieval hood, which was originally a very practical outer garment to cover a person's head and shoulders, protecting both from the elements, bears striking resemblance to this revived form: This hood was also a part of the garb of monks in that era. The Medieval hood, in some cases, also had what is known as a "liripipe," a long tail hanging from the back of a hood. You can see the modern stylized version of this on my own hood. From an article on "Academic hood development" we read that "By 1463 the favourite dress of doctors was the hood with round bell-shaped cape, and the lir...

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Image
According to a recent documentary, for all the talk about academic freedom in the world of the large American university system, it would seem that it extends only as far as the system defines it - especially with regards to the subject of origins and science. Noted speechwriter Ben Stein stars as host of the film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Dr. Angus Menuge, professor of philosophy at CUW, highlights the film in an article included in the Concordia University - Wisconsin magazine Concordian , including some seemingly revealing details about the expulsion of talented scientists who apparently were ‘expelled‘ from their positions for mentioning the theory of Intelligent Design: “In the current climate, even when academicians have a relevant doctorate and a track-record of peer-reviewed publication, their careers suffer if they argue that the scientific evidence points to an intelligent source involved in the creation of the world. In 1992, Dean Kenyon, a biology professor at ...

The Firefighter's Cross

Image
[Note: A similar article to this will be shared with my department at their next meeting. During this Lenten season when we are meditating on the significance and meaning of the Passion of our Lord and the Cross at Golgotha, it seemed like one way to offer a witness to the department that captured their interest and yet was not too heavy.] [Editorial Note: In response to a recent comment on this article I have made some changes to the original version of this article especially in regard to references to the so-called St. Florian's Cross. For any confusion the previous unreferenced information may have caused I apologize. I hope that the changes are satisfactory.] THE STORY OF THE MALTESE CROSS In many ways the familiar symbol to the right requires no explanation. It is the universal insignia of firefighting nationwide. Yet the precise origins of this symbol are less clear. The most popular explanation proposes its beginning in the far distant past of medieval Crusaders fi...
