Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, a Catholic priest and exorcist for the Washington archdiocese, was removed from his position after asserting that UFOs might be manifestations of demons. Cardinal Robert McElroy emphasized that Rossetti's comments contradicted the Church's teachings on demons and exorcism. During a recent live interview, Rossetti warned about the dangers of UFO sightings, suggesting that many of these phenomena could be demonic in nature. He stated, "Demons like to hide" and are more effective when people are unaware of their actions. While the Catholic Church does not have an official doctrine regarding alien life, experts like Christopher Baglow from the University of Notre Dame noted that Rossetti may have overstepped by presenting personal beliefs as Church doctrine. Following his dismissal, Rossetti expressed sorrow and sought forgiveness for not adhering to the Church’s teachings. His controversial views on the connection between UFOs and demons highlight a trend among some Christians who are increasingly open to such interpretations.
