Bill Donohue from the Catholic League comments on last
night’s show, “Unsealed: Alien Files,” that aired on the Science Channel:
The program speculates that “new evidence may prove the Vatican
is hiding actual aliens from the public.” Either that or the channel will
rename itself the Sci-fi Channel.
The priest who directs the Vatican observatory, Dr. Jose
Funes, was interviewed for the program, and he made the rather unexceptional
remark that the universe is so huge that “it would be possible that life could
evolve the way we know it on Earth.” This is soon followed by a voiceover that
says, “Vatican officials have publicly acknowledged the likelihood of alien
life. This dramatic reversal of Vatican policy demands an explanation. What
does the Church know, or what have they found that causes them to reverse a
2000-year-old teaching?”
While we’re demanding that the Vatican provide an
explanation for its “policy” on aliens, I would like to demand an explanation
from the Science Channel: Must one be nuts to work there?
It gets better. Evidence of alien life, we learn, is
available in the “Vatican secret archives.” But thanks to the Science Channel,
it is a secret no more. “The Vatican secret archives is approximately 52 miles
of shelving we’re told, and over 32,000 archives.” The guy who said this did
not disclose who told him this “secret,” but who needs evidence? Then a
voiceover gets really melodramatic: “But the secrets hidden within the Vatican
can’t stay buried forever. Now new evidence may prove the Vatican is hiding
actual aliens from the public.” That’s right—they can’t play “hide and seek”
forever. Send in the Navy SEALS.
The program also claims that skulls with elongated heads and
small faces, resembling aliens, were found in 1998 under the Vatican Library,
but that access to the site has been denied. A voiceover asks, “Could these
skulls be the remnants of aliens who once lived in the Vatican?” Either that or
the Vatican employs coneheads to work in its “secret” archives.
