Balducci certainly is a interesting character to read about. Seems as though he is not basing his opinion on anything "official", say from the Vatican Library or at least he isnt using it as a public reference to form his opinion.

In order for this to be a statement offered as from a Vatican Official, wouldnt the Vatican need to be publically endorsing his statements? They dont certainly appear to be doing that, not that I could find anyhow.

Checked with Catholic News Service and only one
article came up talking about another brother speculating about the ramifications of the discovery of alien life on the church and its members. Not Vatican sanctioned anything just personal speculation on his behalf.

Now if Balducci had a Vatican Sanctioned Letter or Press Release re: these statements of his we would have some real meat on our hands.

Most everything I have found on the net re: Vatican and ET/UFO connections are from a plethora of UFO/Alien speculation sites none of which are doing anything other than regurgitating the interviews that Paola Harris did with the good Monsignor a while back.

Sounds like no more than the open minded musings of a kindly Monsignor to me. Certainly not a bombshell Vatican press release of any kind.....

Commence calling me an idiot and a stick in the mud and a bad person and reading my post was like breathing over polluted air, etc. etc....I have broad shoulders, I can handle it....

Something else very interesting.
The Pope appointed Jesuit Father George Coyne as Vatican Observatory director. The Vatican have begun working with NASA to locate extraterrestrials with a new telescope.
Here is something from the official Vatican Observatory
clavius.as.arizona.edu...

this link was from this page
clavius.as.arizona.edu...

The Catholic Church is teaming up with America's space agency to search for extra-terrestrials. Jesuit priests who run the Vatican Observatory near Rome say they are joining forces with the NASA agency to hunt for UFOs and signs of life on planets in solar systems similar to Earth's. NASA's job will be to monitor for "alien" communications signals; the Vatican, which has helped to build a new reflector telescope in Tucson, Arizona, would search for planets displaying conditions for life. "Father" George Coyne, director of the Vatican Observatory, said that should intelligent alien life be found, "the Church would be obliged to address the question of whether extra-terrestrials might be brought within the fold and baptized."

Vatican Observatory

The organization that has the most sophisticated E.T. study program in the world is none other than the Catholic Church. "They've got observatories in Arizona and just outside Rome, And what's more," he said, "they know the truth about aliens."

According to the July/August issue of Science & Spirit magazine there's a shred of truth to the claim. Margaret Wertheim's article, "Looking for God and Aliens" is a profile of Father George Coyne, a Jesuit who for almost 25 years has been the director and senior scientist at the Vatican Observatory Research Group, "a small but intensive unit of cosmologists and astronomers funded by the Holy See," and headquartered in Castel Gandolfo, a fortified castle, once belonging to the Medici, that sits on the rim of an extinct volcano outside Rome. Coyne also conducts research at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory. He is working on a detailed survey of all the galaxies neighboring the Milky Way--and keeping his eyes peeled for signs of intelligent life. Wertheim is startled when Father Coyne says we should "view stars as God's sperm"

Benedict sacked this guy and put his own man in..
But it speaks volumes again..
Someone else in a high position at the Vatican saying similar things to Corrado.
I would like to know how many more at the Vatican also think like this..
I would also love to see what they know.
I had no idea they took this that seriously..
The way they have gone about gaining this technology and information makes it appear very clear that they know a lot more about this than they are letting on.
The more i look into this, the more a big picture is coming together.

Catholic Belief And Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life

If aliens were found, would they have souls? Would the Catholic Church send missionaries to spread the Gospel? Jesuit Brother (and Vatican astronomer) Guy Consolmagno has just published a short book with the Catholic Truth Society on "Intelligent Life in the Universe - Catholic belief and the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life" with answers to these questions.


(Intelligent Life in the Universe - Catholic belief...)

Brother Consolmagno said his aim with the booklet was to reassure Catholics "that you shouldn't be afraid of these questions" and that "no matter what we learn, it doesn't invalidate what we already know" and believe. Scientific study and discovery and religion enrich one another.

He stated that if new forms of life were to be discovered, it would not mean "everything we believe in is wrong," rather, "we're going to find out that everything is truer in ways we couldn't even yet have imagined." Brother Consolmagno does not take a narrow dogmatic view. Here is his answer to the question "Can aliens be made in God's image?"

"The traditional belief is that they are referring to the aspects of the soul - intellect and free will. The ability to know that we exist, that God exists and the freedom to choose to love or not love. Anything, whether it is an intelligent computer or an alien with five arms - if they have those aspects, seems to me they'd be in the image and likeness of God."
(Brother Consolmagno - BBC interview
www.catholicnews.com...

more revelations of the same Ilk...
are we seeing a pattern here??
what does this mean??? - "we're going to find out that everything is truer in ways we couldn't even yet have imagined."
sounds like disclosure.
And this is coming from a Vatican Jesuit Astronomer???
surely all this is great evidence for a forthcoming disclosure?
