Senior Catholic Church Official: 'UFOs are Likely Demonic'

Thursday, June 04, 2026

Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti, who serves as chief exorcist for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington, joined the growing chorus of Catholics and other Christians warning that UFOs and related phenomena are likely "demonic."

I've been to the famous stairs in Georgetown

Chief Exorcist Monsignor Stephen J. Rossetti: "But there's a danger here ... as an exorcist, I wanted to raise that danger: and that is that demons like to hide, they don't want us to know they're around. They don't want us to know what they're doing because they're more effective when we don't realize it. And they can kind of get into your head ... and manipulate things in the world to influence us to do evil."

Rossetti said Ephesians 6:12 makes clear that humanity is engaged in warfare against spiritual forces of wickedness in high places and encourages Christians to "put on the armor of God" to resist them.

"Look Kang, this priest said that we're demonic. Doesn't Monsignor Rossetti know that we have feelings, too?"

"Oh, Kodos. If you ----- us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?"

Archdiocese of Washington Removes Prominent Exorcist Over Remarks Linking UFOs to Demonic Activity
Monsignor Stephen Rossetti's claims about aerial phenomena and demons 'gravely undermined' the Church's teachings, Cardinal Robert McElroy said.
www.ncregister.com

The Church often footdrags with the best/worst of them. But, boy, did they move to shut down this guy.

Cardinal McElroy in his statement said Msgr. Rossettis remarks "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism." The cardinal also criticized the St. Michael Centers "recent use of social media," though the statement did not offer any specifics beyond that.

In a statement after the news broke, Msgr. Rossetti said he was "saddened" by the archdioceses decision.

"I ask forgiveness for any ways that I have not been faithful to the teachings of the Church's Magisterium, particularly in the cited video on aliens and the demonic'," he said.

Good Morning Doc Sarvis:

Jeepers! The ink is barely dry on my OP and Max von Sydow has already been sh*t-canned.

You're right, at times the Vatican moves like a brontosaurus-- this time they attacked like velociraptors.

I am surprised you didn't catch the words of the Immortal Bard uttered by Kang.

BTW: In the early 1970s, the cult classic TV show The Night Stalker was cancelled over budget and salary issues. Anyway, the producers had an unaired script about Carl Kolchak uncovering a plot where US politicians are being secretly replaced by aliens.

Maybe Kang, Kodos, or both.

Max von Sydow ... thanks for that, Coriolanus. He became the consummate character actor, always seeming to hide something behind d whatever he was doing. It made him interesting (and very employable). And as for Kolchak, he sure had the best job on this planet. (The rumpled appearance of Carl's/Darren's suits mirrored that of my ROTC uniform's: pressed under a mattress.)

I'm sure you cadets called ROTC "Run Over To Canada" back in the day.

Like the Honeymooners, less is more with the Night Stalker.

They covered just about every ghoul, creature, and monster out there anyway.

When I used to watch TV, that was one of the series.

And Max von Sydow was just too good.

So, this is a claim that aliens are causing the church to cover up it's child predation?

Believable. /s

Alas and alack!

Poor, poor Coriolanus strives every day to deliver interesting OPs for drudge.com bloggers, but no one noticed the combining of Shakespeare and the Simpsons in this tidbit by rendering a "NW" or "Funny."

#8 You don't strive to be "interesting," C0RI0LANUS.

You strive to be as destructive to the Democratic Party as possible.

Meanwhile, bemoaning the lack of "recognition" for your impotent copy/paste missives is just way too funny, thinned-skinned little boi and Jew hater, C0RI0LANUS.

#8 Poor, poor Coriolanus, bemoans the fact that, "...no one noticed it ... by rendering a "NW" or "Funny."

WhatsamattU, poor, poor Coriolanus?

No one respecting your equivocation of the Hamas Terrorist attacks (against innocents just attending a music concert) with brave Ukrainians fighting against Russian invaders ? ? ? ?

Yep. You read that right. Poor, poor Coriolanus actually posted that Hamas terrorists, killing and raping Israeli citizens, are exactly the same as Ukrainians fighting against Russian invaders.

Yeah.

Coriolanus is an anti-Semitic hater of Jews.

... Senior Catholic Church Official: 'UFOs are Likely Demonic' ...

Populations have always looked toward their priests to explain what cannot be explained.

That seems to be the basis of religion.

And why the Catholic Church convicted Galileo of suspicion of heresy for saying the Earth traveled around the Sun, and not vice versa.

Of the third-base kind?

Titanides have three genitals and are mounted from behind, mainly because their humanoid torso is so far away. They obviously cannot wipe and require inspection. Buyer beware! :]]

Deltans just emote with you. Much cleaner. Less hair unless VGER integrates you.

I imagine Gorn paralyze their mates, implant the egg and bury you alive. Skin So Soft might be a good repellent to impregnation.

Be prepared is what I'm implying. :]

So... a quickly 'Former' Senior Official.

Apparently Leo was not amused.

So he could have a point.

Should I reevaluate my life?

*ever have to towel down a lust demon? They sizzle and steam the wash-cloth as you rub them down, it's so cute.

Okay, Greys don't have genitals, unlike demons which I understand are always overly endowed*. And you can have sex with demons, but Greys only steel your seed. Yeah, Succubi do that too, just not in a saucer. Still, the sleep-paralysis is the same.

Indeed, how many mysteries throughout human history are in fact grey visitation? I suppose, mankind should blame them. Rat samples should be given rather than taken. /s

It would seem that we are mostly unable to resist their control, having not only perfected "sleep paralysis" but also "summoning". At around eight years old mine made me feel it was a sunny day and I was just going back outside. It was around 2a I think. One moment I'm asleep, then suddenly fully awake I just walked outside in my pajamas, thinking I was hearing my mother just outside - it felt noonish. The audible trick made it feel normal to my little brain. I can remember up to closing that front door. Whatever and whomever happened I have no solid memories. I only became aware again realizing I was standing on the sidewalk just outside our home staring up at a street light in the middle of the night. It felt like I had woken up only then.

That amount of control is ridiculous. What are we? Life apparently is like a box of chocolates, and we are delicious!
