Is Belief in Aliens and UFOs Harmful?

"In this final battle, there are many agents of hell loosed upon earth. They are traveling in transports.  Do not be won over to a false theory of life beyond the heavens, other than the Kingdom of God.  Know that it is satan who sends these vehicles before you. They are to confuse and confound you. These objects that take flight across your earth are from hell. They are only the false miracles of your times.
     "Recognize them, My children; they are not a figment of man's imagination. They are present in your atmosphere, and they will become more dominant as the fight goes on for the souls." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1973

EDITOR'S COMMENT:  There are an explosion articles about on the internet about UFOs and aliens.  Man's contact with aliens must eminent.   The Directives from Heaven listed below give the complete story.

Faithful Answers reported on September 3, 2014.:

By Hugh Owen

Arguments in defense of the existence of extraterrestrial, non-angelic, intelligent life (ETNAI) in the universe have been bandied about recently in light of rumors that Pope Francis will make a statement on extraterrestrial life in the near future. I will try to faithfully re-state the arguments of pro-ETNAI Catholic theologians, before showing why I believe their arguments are weak and harmful to the Catholic faithful.

Pro-ETNAI advocates argue in the first place that there are so many eyewitness testimonies to UFOs that defy natural explanation in terms of our experience on earth that it would be unscientific to deny the objective reality of these phenomena and their possible extraterrestrial origin.

In the second place, they argue that the existence of other non-angelic intelligent beings in the universe would redound to the greater glory of God; that it would be illogical to assume such a great distance between angelic and human forms of life as appears to exist between the angelic beings and human life on earth (since “nature does not employ leaps”); and that it would be desirable to seek out such possible intelligent beings for the help that they may be able to give earthly humanity.

In the third part place, ETNAI advocates offer statements from theological experts and from persons of holy life in support of their thesis.

Let us examine these points one at a time.

1) There are so many eyewitness testimonies to UFOs that defy natural explanation in terms of our experience on earth that it would be unscientific to deny the objective reality of these phenomena and their possible extraterrestrial origin. 

1) Reply:

There are two problems with this line of argument. In the first place, it is an error to affirm that because some UFO phenomena seem to have an objective reality that they are probably therefore extraterrestrial. This is erroneous because other researchers who have studied UFOs exhaustively have argued convincingly that the phenomena are indeed objectively real (i.e. not hallucinations or optical illusions) but that they are of diabolical origin. Australian researcher Gary Bates has presented abundant evidence for this thesis in his book Alien Intrusion. Most ETNAI advocates do not seem to be aware of this research; nor do they offer any concrete evidence that UFOs have proven themselves to be benevolent.

2A) The existence of other non-angelic intelligent beings in the universe would redound to the greater glory of God;

2A) Reply:

The weakness of this argument can be demonstrated by carrying it to its logical conclusion. If more intelligent beings would redound to the greater glory of God, then one could argue that the only way to give God sufficient glory would be by multiplying the number of intelligent beings to infinity. But we know that this is not God’s Will, because He has fixed the number of intelligent beings that will come into existence by the end of the world. Therefore, it is certain that the glory that God seeks from His creatures does not depend on the quantity but on the quality of their response to His love. And this does not require the existence of extraterrestrial creatures.

2B) It would be illogical to assume such a great distance between angelic and human forms of life as appears to exist between the angelic beings and human life on earth (since “nature does not employ leaps”);

2B) Reply:

This argument seems to be predicated on a comparison between fallen man and the angels. However, God created man in an exalted state of holiness so that the difference between man and the angels was not nearly so great at the beginning of creation as it appears to be now. According to the principle, Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi, this fact is born out in the prayers of the liturgy, as in the following:

It is true that the Lord, my Creator, took slime from the earth and, with his life-giving breath, gave me a soul and life, honoring me and setting me on the earth as the king of all visible things, enjoying the life of the angels. (Byzantine Daily Worship, Before Lent, At Vespers, Stichera of the Triodion, 1, p. 785).

2C) It would be desirable to seek out such possible intelligent beings for the help that they may be able to give earthly humanity.

2C) Reply:

This argument seems flawed on two counts. In the first place, if there are fallen non-angelic intelligent beings in other parts of the universe, these beings might be more of a threat to earth’s inhabitants than a blessing. ETNAI advocates assume without proof that super-intelligent beings would be helpful to earth’s inhabitants, but greater intelligence can be used by sinful beings for evil purposes just as it can be used by grace-filled beings for good purposes. Moreover, they seem to overlook the fact that magisterial teaching holds authoritatively that the Church is “a perfect society” and does not need the help of superior intelligences from other parts of the universe to bring her members to perfection. These two weaknesses in this argument reveal a tendency on the part of ETNAI advocates to look at the whole question of extraterrestrial beings from a decidedly naturalistic point of view, setting aside the reality of sin on the one hand, and the reality of God’s grace and supernatural provision on the other.

3) Some ETNAI advocates offer statements from theological experts and from a few persons of holy life in support of their thesis.

3) Reply:

It has long been acknowledged by philosophers that the “argument from authority” is the weakest of arguments-except for the authority of God Himself when He communicates through His Word or through the Magisterium of His Church. Unfortunately, ETNAI advocates do not draw their testimonies from the Bible, from Sacred Tradition, or even from the approved writings of saints approved by the Church.

Before evaluating the testimonies that they do cite, therefore, it is important to examine Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and Magisterial teaching for any teaching that they may contain on this subject. With regard to Sacred Scripture, one prominent ETNAI advocate argued that “in the Bible there are not specific allusions to other living beings, but neither is excluded this hypothesis.” This is not a sound basis upon which to establish any hypothesis-especially in the light of the many passages in Scripture and authoritative magisterial teachings that seem to contradict it.

Sacred Scripture, Lateran IV, Trent, Vatican I, and all of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church hold that creation was finished with the creation of Adam and Eve and that God created “all things, visible and invisible” “at once” culminating with the creation of Adam who summed up in himself both the corporeal and the spiritual orders of creation. Pius II in his letter “Cum sicut” (Denz 717c) also condemned the proposition that “God created another world than this one, and that in its time many other men and women existed and that consequently Adam was not the first man.”

According to all of the Fathers and Doctors, Adam was the king of all creation prior to the Fall. Sirach 49:16 reveals that: “Shem and Seth were honored among men, and Adam above every living being in the creation.” Thus, any non-angelic intelligent beings in other parts of the universe (of whom the Bible makes no mention) would have been subordinated to Adam and created after him. But this contradicts Catholic Tradition, especially the firmiter of Lateran IV which explicitly teaches that Adam was the crown and summation of all creation. Moreover, in Genesis 1 God indicates that the sun and the stars were created as a “signs” for people on earth and not as “suns” to support biomes elsewhere in the universe. If Genesis 1 describes the creation of the entire universe and all that it contains-as the Church has always taught-then why does it say nothing about ETNAI advocates’ hypothetical non-angelic intelligent beings?

According to Romans 8, as interpreted by all of the Fathers, Adam’s sin made the entire universe subject to decay, so that any non-angelic intelligent beings elsewhere in the universe would have been made to suffer on account of the sin of Adam. This poses a serious problem for the ETNAI thesis. In the first place, it would seem to put a blemish on Divine Justice to punish sinless intelligent beings in other parts of the universe who have no biological relationship to Adam-unlike the members of the human race on earth, who contract Original Sin as descendants of Adam and Eve. In the second place, according to Catholic doctrine, the Blessed Virgin Mary is the only “sinless one”; but if there are, as St. Padre Pio is alleged (without documentary proof!) to have said, “On other planets other beings . . . who did not sin and fall as we did,” then Our Lady is NOT the only “sinless one,” because these beings would not have inherited the defect of original sin from their parents and would therefore either be immaculately conceived or immortal in a state of created immaculacy.

Certain statements from theological experts in favor of the ETNAI thesis also seem quite unconvincing for several reasons. In the first place, there is not a single testimony in favor of this hypothesis from any Father or Doctor of the Church, or even from any theologian of note from before the sixteenth century. Is it probable that God would allow the Church to be ignorant of such an important point for 1500 years before revealing it–not to His saints or to his Doctors, but to speculative theologians? Indeed, all but one of the testimonies circulating in favor of ETNAI are taken from theologians who lived in the period when evolution and long ages of time were already generally accepted by Catholic intellectuals.

This leads to another disturbing observation, namely that the ETNAI hypothesis is almost always presented in the context of cosmic evolution and is used to bolster faith in the evolution of life on various planets through natural processes. Indeed, as Gary Bates documents in Alien Intrusion, faith in non-angelic intelligent beings is almost always associated with New Age errors and heresies of all kinds. If the ETNAI hypothesis is correct, why is this so? Why do the mystical writings approved by the Church-St. Hildegard of Bingen, St. Bridget, Venerable Maria of Agreda, or Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, for example-say nothing of these hypothetical non-angelic intelligent beings?

These reflections lead to a final observation.

Jesus said that a tree should be judged by its fruit. But what kind of fruit has the ETNAI hypothesis produced? It would seem that it has demeaned the importance of man and of his earthly home in comparison with some purely hypothetical “superior intelligences” in outer space. On the other hand, the Bible and Catholic Tradition have always maintained that the Incarnation of Jesus Christ on earth has made man and the Earth the center of the created universe and of all history. Sadly, the ETNAI hypothesis strengthens faith in the bankrupt evolutionary hypothesis and distracts human beings from their primary duty which is to do the Will of God “ON EARTH as it is in Heaven.” For all of these reasons, unless and until there is far more persuasive evidence in support of this hypothesis, I believe that Catholics should regard this hypothesis as a distraction from their daily duty to “hold fast” to the Tradition that was “handed down” and to do God’s Will “on earth as in Heaven.”

"I warn you again not to listen to those voices coming from the depths of hell that say that life is existing upon the other planets of your universe.  This, My children, is not true.  Were it any different, I should have told you so in the Book of Life.  Know, My children, your battle shall rage upon earth.  Satan is creating many false miracles, and one of these are the supernatural manifestations that you call UFO's.” - Jesus, March 25, 1978

Our Lady - "However, My child, all must be wary because when he, the man of deception, is recognizable to mankind as he will set you with number upon the path of deception, he, too, will be a figure of virtue.  He will be covered as a sheep with robes of purity, but look into his heart, My child."    
    Veronica - Oh, I see a horrible black-looking ugly thing that was down there in the pit.  It's inside of this man whom I find...he looks...he looks holy and human, but he is actually one of those things.  He's actually a creature of hell.
    Our Lady - "Now, My child, I will give one secret unknown to many, but you must make it known to mankind.  This man of deception shall try to follow My Son.  He will convince many that he is the Messiah.  You must make it known now that the Messiah will not come unless He comes down with the legions of angels from the Heavens, as He ascended.  Repeat anew, My child, this false messiah shall not be accepted upon earth.  My Son, Jesus, is the only Messiah.  He has already come to your earth, but He will return.  But He will come down from the Heavens as He ascended with the legions of saints, those who have washed themselves clean with the Blood of the Lamb.” – April 13, 1974

Our Lady of the Roses Awesome Bayside Prophecies... http://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/ 
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

NO BEINGS ON OTHER PLANETS
"There are no beings on other planets. We've explained to you about the vehicles from hell. So if you keep on wasting your country's money by looking for life on other planets, you will have more starving in your nation. And your country shall go down the drain, so to speak--economically, morally, and actually, factually destroyed.
     "I realize, My children, that your country, the United States, has always been under the protection of My Mother. But now many have cast Her aside." - Jesus, November 1, 1985

FLYING SAUCERS
"I warn you now: All of those--what they call flying saucers, My children, they are not flying saucers. They are vehicles from hell transporting demons from place to place. Though they be spirits, there is a mystery of the living dead that you do not know. They must be transported; they cannot go upon their own. This is a mystery that I shall, perhaps in the future, give you the knowledge of." - Jesus, June 30, 1984

TRANSPORTS FROM HELL
"It has been deemed necessary by the Father to give unto you a photograph of the transports from hell. You will inform your men of knowledge--scientists--that the vehicles known as UFOs are but transports from hell sent to deceive and confuse mankind and set him in quest of another world that does not exist." - Our Lady, September 13, 1974

"THEY ARE SUPERNATURAL"
"I repeat the message of the past, My child: the flying saucers you speak of, they are transports of hell! They are supernatural; they are a creation of satan to bewilder and confuse mankind. Many prodigies shall be viewed upon earth, in the atmosphere. Beware of all false miracles. Test the spirits, My children." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

SATAN PLANS TO DELUDE MANKIND
Veronica - Oh, there are two flying saucers now. They are going very, very high into the sky. Oh, dear! Look at that thing!
     Our Lady wishes it known that flying saucers are supernatural, but through the grace of God not all will see them. They are manifestations of the end days of satan to confuse and confound. They have been photographed many times from the sacred grounds, Our Lady said.
Our Lady - "Be not afeared, for you are being allowed to see what satan plans to delude mankind with. There is no life as you know it, or human being, or otherwise, upon another planet. The creation of the Father has been given to you in the Book of love and life. Do not fantasize of life on other planets, My children. It is a falsehood. Were it not so you would have been told, for the Father hides nothing from His children. He created man, known Adam and Eve, and as such they were the first of your--of the Father's creation. You may say, your first mother and father symbol.
     "Do not accept the teachings of error that they are just a story. I assure you, My children, they are and were real. They were the first creations of the Father, and they fell to satan.
     "They were placed upon earth in order to win the good fight for the Father against the forces of evil--satan, who has sworn his vows against the Father to seduce all mankind, to defy the Father anew, for he has never learned his lesson of obedience and subservience. He is an arrogant creature, and many men follow him in their arrogance and intellectual pride." - September 28, 1974

MANIFESTATIONS FROM SATAN
"There is loosed upon your earth countless numbers of demons. The gates of hell are opening wide. The false miracles of the end days promoted by satan are much in evidence upon your world. Science gives many explanations, but they have not come forward with the truth. Your flying saucers are but a supernatural manifestation from satan!
     "It would be better, My child, if the clergy would spend their time in not disproving the honorable miracles from God the Father and seek out the truth of these dishonorable, dishonest miracles--that they call miracles--of satan. The miracles from hell are transports, transports of demons!
     "Many of the clergy, My child, will not accept My message because they have given themselves to the world." - Our Lady, July 25, 1974

"THEY DO EXIST"
"There is loosed upon your world now many transports of hell. Many children of earth will witness this phenomenon from satan. Be not deluded. They do exist, but they are a supernatural phenomenon from the abyss--satan!"
Veronica - Our Lady speaks of the flying saucers loosed upon the earth. - November 1, 1974

GATHERING IN GREAT MULTITUDES
"You will circulate fast, My child, the photograph of the vehicles of hell, the flying saucers. They are gathering in great multitudes upon your earth. Know now that they are of an illusion, a delusion to mankind. It is but one of the false miracles of satan." - Our Lady, December 31, 1974

DELUSION
Veronica - Oh, there are two flying saucers now. They are going very, very high into the sky.... 
    Our Lady - "Be not afeared, for you are being allowed to see what satan plans to delude mankind with. There is no life as you know it, or human being, or otherwise, upon another planet. The creation of the Father has been given to you in the Book of love and life. Do not fantasize of life on other planets, My children. It is a falsehood. Were it not so you would have been told, for the Father hides nothing from His children. He created man, known Adam and Eve, and as such they were the first of your--of the Father's creation. You may say, your first mother and father symbol." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 28, 1974

NOT A FIGMENT
"In this final battle, there are many agents of hell loosed upon earth. They are traveling in transports. Do not be won over to a false theory of life beyond the heavens, other than the Kingdom of God. Know that it is satan who sends these vehicles before you. They are to confuse and confound you. These objects that take flight across your earth are from hell. They are only the false miracles of your times.
     "Recognize them, My children; they are not a figment of man's imagination. They are present in your atmosphere, and they will become more dominant as the fight goes on for the souls." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 24, 1973

HIDDEN AMONG YOU
"Already satan is working his way into your consciousness, seeking to take over your minds. He is now promoting false miracles. Those you call flying saucers are images from hell. My children, if you reject the knowledge of the supernatural, you are now playing right into his hands. While he remains hidden among you, he can go about and, like a ravenous wolf, gobble up My children as they fall from grace." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 18, 1978

WASTING MONEY
"There are no beings on other planets. We've explained to you about the vehicles from hell. So if you keep on wasting your country's money by looking for life on other planets, you will have more starving in your nation. And your country shall go down the drain, so to speak—economically, morally, and actually, factually destroyed." - Jesus, November 1, 1985

ACROSS THE VEIL
"You men of science, you go forward out into space, looking and searching for another world. You will find nothing. Out in space, My children, there only lies a void. The other world is across the veil; it is the world of the supernatural. Man of science is ever searching, but never coming to the knowledge of truth." - Our Lady of the Roses, September 7, 1976

TRANSPORTS FROM HELL
"Do not look for land, do not look on another planet for life, for there is none. Only those who delude you tell you this. What you saw, My child, in the past, called a flying saucer by mankind, We have allowed many to see this. They are transports from hell. However, We have never seen a demon, My child, who has taken on a human form, except through the spirit....
     "What you have now, because of the sins of mankind, all hell is loosed upon earth. Satan now knows that his time is growing short. That is the truth, My children. I tell you all: your time is growing short." - Jesus, June 18, 1992 

SCIENTISTS
"There will be great changes in nature upon your earth. Scientists have cast aside their God, and now demons are loosed upon earth who will set in motion diabolical manifestations within the hearts and sight of mankind." - Our Lady of the Roses, June 16, 1977

PITS OF HELL
Veronica - Oh! Oh, I see a--oh, it's a very large pit, I guess, a hole. And sitting down there at the edge of the hole are some horrible-looking things. They look like animals, but they have almost the figures of people.
    And they're sitting around now, what looks like a glass. And the glass is reflecting up through the hole, and it's almost like a looking glass because its... The rays—there are rays being shot out from this glass, and the rays are going up, up this hole. And I'm watching the rays. And they're shooting out onto the grounds. And as they're going up, riding these rays are these horrible, ugly things, these--I know they're demons; I know. Now Our Lady said:
    Our Lady - "Watch, My child, what else is exiting from the hole."
Veronica - Oh, my goodness! There are things that look like bright lights, but they're like dome-like on the top. And they don't have any windows; they're just great lights. And Our Lady now is standing at the edge of this hole, and She's pointing. And She's saying:
    Our Lady - "Man will not accept the truth. These are transports of hell."
    Veronica - Oh, Our Lady's referring to these things that are being seen on earth. Our Lady said:
    Our Lady - "Make it known, My child, that the false miracles of the end time are now at hand. satan seeks to confuse you. Make it known, My child, that there is no life beyond your earth as you know it. Man will go out into space. Better that he uses these efforts to find his way back to God." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 30, 1973
