Vatican Interest
The Vatican has just wrapped up a 5 day summit on the topic of ET life.
This is huge. Its not laughable. 1 third of the world’s human population is some kind of christian, and so this scenario touches in some way the most significant proportion of those who are of faith. There are 2.1 billion ‘Christians’ in the world, of which approximately half are Roman Catholic.
Traditionally, the catholic church has been of the opinion that the figurehead of the religion ‘died’ to save human beings, but recently, the assertion that we are all God’s redeemable creatures could be considered to be a fantastically clever move, given the scope of the cosmos for poor souls needing saving. This may be a Papal bid for positioning the system to accept new Catholics. A potential universe of lovely tithe paying, candle buying, church of the universe attending Roman Catholic aliens!
One can only speculate at this point, but I think ‘they’ have known for a long time. There are some potentially devastating-to-the-faith truths that this church has kept the lid on, for obvious reasons, but imminent disclosure that is outside of it’s far reaching ability to censor has meant a rapid change of tune. If you cant beat them, join them. Or position yourselves to let the aliens join your church! Why not? The Roman Empire changed into the Holy Roman Empire for the same reasons and just look at how much more effective religion has been over military conquest.
It will be interesting to see what religion the ETs themselves bring to the table…
