A report by The New York Times explores how the perspective of intelligent life in the universe has become a theological issue for conservative Christians in the U.S. In a secret meeting in Nashville, pastors and podcasters listened to evidence about extraterrestrials, but many concluded that these beings are, in fact, demons. This view has been reinforced by statements from officials, including Vice President JD Vance, who stated that he does not believe in extraterrestrials, but in demons. Christians in the U.S. are more skeptical than the media regarding extraterrestrial life, and some fear that it would undermine the biblical account of humanity. Although the Catholic Church does not have an official position on this subject, discussions about extraterrestrials are becoming more frequent among religious leaders. Some theologians suggest that encounters with unexplainable entities could be interpreted as religious experiences. In this context, pastors discuss how to prepare their congregations for potential revelations related to UFOs, combining speculation and warnings.
