ETI and Catholic Teaching: Paul Thigpen on Saints, Scripture, and Evangelization

To the point

Paul Thigpen argues that most UFO/UAP reports are not diabolical deception and can fit Catholic teaching, citing Pope John Paul II, Padre Pio, Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, and Venerable Andrea Beltrami, and he says that if extraterrestrial intelligence were confirmed the Church could welcome it and revisit core questions about creation, the Incarnation, and redemption to use the topic for evangelization rather than fear or scientism.
