The Vatican Is Making Radical Changes In Preparation For Disclosure

A Seismic Shift In the Vatican's Approach To UFO & Alien Disclosure


The Vatican IsMaking Radical Changes In Preparation For Disclosure

Under clear instruction from the Vatican, Brother Guy Consolmagno is preparing the world for UFO and Extraterrestrial Disclosure. When you read this story you will see a subtle but tectonic shift in the way the Vatican is going to approach UFO/Alien Disclosure. The name of Brother Guy's new book speaks volumes - 'Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?'

Brother Guys new mission is to go on the road and let people know that the Vatican has a keen interest in science. They want the world to know that they have their own observatory and first hand knowledge of space and the universe. 

Brother Guy will no longer be performing traditional teachings about God. The Church's central mission on religion has dramatically shifted. They will now be teaching that "God is reason, If you reject reason, you are rejecting God.” This is a wholesale change in what the church has been teaching for centuries. 


In the past the Vatican's stance on extraterrestrials has been viewed as cute and even entertaining but to the Vatican it is no laughing matter. If they fail to get out ahead of Disclosure it could very easily lead to the demise of the Catholic Church we know it today. 


The Catholic Church has an absolute need  to show how people of faith can also believe in science.


Brother Guy and the Vatican are clearly preparing religions to embrace the day when Extraterrestrial and UFO Disclosure becomes necessary and a reality.

NEW YORK (RNS) With Christmas just around the corner, Brother Guy Consolmagno gets a lot of questions this time of year about the Star of Bethlehem that led the Magi to Jesus in the manger.

Consolmagno is an astronomer — a planetary scientist for the Vatican observatory, in fact — who specializes in asteroids and meteorites, the very sort that may well have been the famous “star” described in the Gospel of Matthew.

“It’s fun speculation,” Consolmagno said, smiling though a graying beard while sitting on a bench in Central Park on an unseasonably warm afternoon. “It’s fascinating to realize that there actually are a couple of quite plausible things it could be.

“But what’s even more interesting to me is that this story was included, of all the stories that Matthew might have included,” he said, growing animated as he does when diving into his twin vocations of science and theology. “Whether it’s something he heard from Mary, or whether it’s something he made up, why was it included?”

If those are the sort of musings you enjoy, and a level of ambiguity you can handle, then you will like the new book that Consolmagno has written with his fellow Jesuit, the Rev. Paul Mueller, who heads the Jesuit community at Castel Gandolfo, a hilltop town near Rome where the Vatican’s main telescope is located. (The other is on a mountaintop near Tucson, Ariz.)

for everyone, including ET

Their book is titled “Would You Baptize an Extraterrestrial?” another question that Consolmagno is asked a lot in his many speeches and media appearances, and one that Pope Francis — a fellow Jesuit and a trained chemist — has posed as part of his focus on Catholic inclusivity.


Consolmagno’s short answer is “yes.“ But “only if she asks!”

While the longer answer is spelled out in the book, the two Jesuits are really aiming their lens at a bigger goal: to show how people of faith can also believe in science.

“God is reason. If you reject reason, you are rejecting God,” Consolmagno said.

Unlike many apologists, Consolmagno isn’t fixated on the so-called “New Atheists” like Richard Dawkins who wield science like a cudgel to bash religion, and believers.

“I don’t mind someone disagreeing with my views on religion,” he said. “But I’d like to have a sense of mutual respect. If you think that what a lot of people believe is nonsense, then maybe you don’t understand what it is they believe.”

But such debates are mostly a sideline for Consolmagno.

“The thing that really bothers me,” he said, “is the creeping fundamentalism among Catholics who don’t know their own faith and who are desperately trying to do the right thing and to be faithful believers, thinking that they have to sacrifice their reason to follow God. And that is exactly the opposite of what God wants.”

Preaching that old-time Catholicism of faith and reason is what Consolmagno will now be doing almost full time.

For two decades, he was curator of the Vatican meteorite collection in Castel Gandolfo, one of the largest in the world, and he wrote scientific books and delivered research papers. Last month, he was given the Carl Sagan Medal, one of the most prestigious awards within planetary science.

Yet Consolmagno has always seen himself as a teacher as much as a researcher, and now he will be able to educate people even as he raises money in his new post as head of the Vatican Observatory Foundation. Instead of living in Italy, he will be based in Arizona and will travel much of the year.

The goal is to make the church and the public more aware of the scientific work the Vatican does — who even knows that the pope has an observatory, and why? It’s also to teach Catholics about their own intellectual tradition.

While Consolmagno happily describes himself as an introvert — “pretty much a nerd,” is how he also puts it — he says that it’s easier for him to talk to 2,000 people than it is to deal with individuals.

Indeed, that’s why he became a Jesuit brother rather than a priest who might have to look after a parish. Born in 1952 in a well-to-do suburb of Detroit, Consolmagno’s immigrant family placed a high value on education and faith. He loved science as a kid and, like many in those days, his imagination was fired by the space race in the 1960s and the moon landing — the kind of efforts he believes we need to invest in today.

Space travel “is the one thing that draws us all together,” he said, noting that both the Vatican and the U.S. government spend about 1 percent of their budget on astronomy-related science.

“This kind of curiosity transcends momentary human conflicts and gives us a sense of perspective,” he said.

Consolmagno continues to be a sci-fi buff, though he prefers old-school books to movies. He did, however, love the recent space epic “Interstellar,” watching it in an IMAX theater with a high school buddy and a chum from MIT. The science was pretty good, he thought, and not even central to the film: “The word religion is never mentioned because it’s everywhere. It is entirely about dealing with the transcendent.”

Consolmagno started out at Jesuit-run Boston College yet soon decided he didn’t want to be a Jesuit. “I realized I’m much better at dealing with numbers and factoids,” he says. So he transferred to MIT and was pondering academic stardom in planetary science when his Catholic conscience called again; he joined the Peace Corps, working for two years in Kenya teaching physics and astronomy.

“People in Africa are curious about the stars, too,” he said. “If you deny them the chance to go ‘Wow!’ looking at stars, you are saying they’re not fully human. They are hungry for that because human beings are hungry for that.”

When he returned to the U.S. he found a satisfying teaching job at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, yet it wasn’t enough. He wanted, needed, to “stand for something bigger than myself.”

Consolmagno had just ended a long and rocky relationship and realized he was better on his own. So his old Jesuit calling beckoned, only this time as a brother, and by 1993 he found himself a fully vowed Jesuit, in Italy, and working for the Vatican. He wasn't teaching, but it wasn't a bad gig, to say the least.

Now, in his new incarnation, he hopes to be able to use what spare time he has for research, especially into the asteroid Vesta, which he wrote about years ago. He’ll put the popular books on hold for a while, though he still hopes to test that hypothesis about baptizing an extraterrestrial.

But his main job is to ease the fears of fellow believers who worry that science undermines faith.

“I don’t know how it could,” he said before heading off to another interview. “Because my faith is already full of doubts. And the doubts have nothing to do with what I've learned is science. They have to do with what I’ve learned in myself. And in some ways the doubts are the strongest proof I have of my faith.

“If there wasn’t a God,” he said, “why would I be so worried about there not being one?”
