[edit] Education

Monsignor Balducci graduated in 1954 from Pontificia Accademia Ecclesiastica, the Vatican training institute for priests who will be future papal ambassadors, or nuncios.[5]

[edit] Extraterrestrials

Monsignor Balducci has said that extraterrestrial contact is real.[6][4][7][8][9]

In relation to the teachings of the Catholic Church, he has stressed that the extraterrestrial encounters "are NOT demonic, they are NOT due to psychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully."[3] He also said that the Vatican is closely following reported incidents of extraterrestrial encounters from its Nunciatures (embassies) in different countries.[3]

[edit] Quotes

  • As God's power is limitless, it is not only possible but also likely that inhabited planets exist.[10]
  • It is probable that there are other beings, that is not very strange, because among the human and angelic nature, of which we have the theological certainty, there is a big too much discrepancy. And among this man, in whom the spirit is subordinate as to the matter, and the Angels that are alone spirit, are probable that they exist of the beings that have spirit with the very less matter and body of that, that we have. They could be those that we call Ufo, these persons that would appear with these wagons, and that also have not only one science, but a natural guardian ability to the our.[11]

Quote rewritten in better English, hopefully paraphrased correctly

  • It is probable that there are other beings. That is not very strange, because there is too much discrepancy between human and angelic nature, of which we have the theological certainty. And since in man, the spirit is subordinate to matter, and since the Angels are alone spirit, it is probable that beings exist with very much less body and matter than we have. They could be those that we call Ufo, these persons that would appear with these wagons, and that also have not only one science, but a natural ability to be our guardians.[12]
