Vatican: “Intelligent Aliens” God’s Children

[truthseekerdan]

The Vatican continues to prepare the world for disclosure. Consolmagno’s speech prompted Richard Hoagland to speculate on the possible nearness of disclosure.

“Intelligent Aliens” God’s Children

Any intelligent aliens living elsewhere in the universe should be considered God’s children – no matter what they look like, the Pope’s astronomer has said.

Brother Guy Consolmagno, who speaks at the British Science Festival at Aston University, Birmingham, on Saturday, said: “Going back to the Middle Ages, the definition of a soul is to have intelligence, free will, freedom to love or not to love, freedom to make decisions…

“Any entity – no matter how many tentacles it has – has a soul.”

Should there ever be a Vatican mission to outer space, Brother Consolmagno might be just the person to lead it.

He admits to being a science fiction fan, which got him into astronomy, and says he would be willing to baptise an alien, but “only if they asked”.

Brother Consolmagno, whose appearance at the British Science Festival is unrelated to Pope Benedict XVI’s state visit, said: “I’d be delighted if we found life elsewhere and delighted if we found intelligent life elsewhere.

“God is bigger than just humanity. God is also the god of angels.”

But he did not think machines would ever become comparable to humans.

On physicist Professor Steven Hawking, who has claimed there is no need for a god to explain the origin of the universe, Brother Consolmagno said: “The whole idea of what creation means is not a case of who wound up the clock and sets it going, it’s the fact there’s a clock to be wound up in the first place.

“A god that started things up would be a pagan god. The god I believe in is outside space and time.”

the church has finally realized the lid will blow off this UFO story and that they'd better be prepared to work within it and be part of it.

Hi Truthseekerdan,

The Vatican has released articles and opinions contributing to the alien cause over the last few years, at least once a year over the last three and organizing a conference about the subject, as I understand it over the last two. You can find out more by Googling, "Aliens are my brother" and start your research from there.

I'm with Hoagland on this one and think the tendency is for 'disclosure' which is ironic as the governments will disclose what we already beleive to be true. However, I suppose this must be done gradually for the masses as it will cause havoc in the churches and, I reckon, just about everywhere where the Joe Bloggs of the world live.

Personally I'm prepared and have been for some time now (must be my age) so let them get on with the show is what I say. Whilst the others are playing 'catch up' I'll be doing other things.

Best regards,

Steve

Wow. The Vatican for once isn't being deceptive.

It's an exciting time to be alive,..... and like Steve_a said, let them get on with the show,.....the inevitable is going to happen anyways. Having been brought up in a "Christian point of view",....I am so thankful that I finally opened up my mind and soul to the realities of what the true God of the universe wants of his children.
I am really wondering how the church is going to react when the truth is finally revealed and recognized and acknowledged.
