Leo’s Vatican Astronomer Says he Would Baptize Aliens if They Came to Earth

Note how aliens are depicted as having arms, shoulders, and eyes to suggest that we are related to them. These UFO aliens are demons in disguise.

In October 2025, Pope Leo’s Vatican astronomer Fr. Richard D’Souza publicly stated that he would baptize extra-terrestrial aliens were they to visit the earth. D’Souza who was appointed by Leo to head of the Vatican Observatory told the Daily Star that any intelligent life elsewhere in the universe would still belong to God’s creation.

“They are all part of God’s creation. They would be children of God,” he said. 

So monkeys and crocodiles are children of God? They too are part of God’s creation and have a ray of intelligence so does this make them God’s children? Membership in the Catholic Church is for man only, but D’Souza says that he would welcome “aliens” into the Church nonetheless.

Fr. D’Souza says that all beings “capable of faith” are eligible for Baptism, but not so. The angels have extraordinarily high intelligence and lively faith yet they are not eligible for the sacrament. The demons of Hell also believe and know there is a God but the Church could never baptize them, yet D’Souza unknowingly would do so because these aliens are demons from the abyss.

The astronomer-priest also said that with the discovery of aliens, theology would have to evolve. “Theology would have to redefine itself and take into account these other beings.” In other words, Catholic doctrine would have to change to suit the madness of today’s Vatican theologians.

In another interview Fr. D’Souza said that “theology would have to reimagine itself,” so is he saying that Catholic theology was originally imagined?

With the exception a few loyal Catholics, Leo and the Church at large have taken this insanity sitting down. Fr. D’Souza has never been admonished about his destructive error nor has Leo taken any action to expel him. Fr. D’ Souza has never recanted what he said yet he is still Leo’s astronomer. Leo’s complicity warrants a universal outcry.

There Are No Space Aliens

First of all, there are no such thing as space aliens. This is a form of science fiction fantasy that we find on the back of cereal boxes. These UFO aliens are actually demons in disguise on a mission to delude the populace concerning the origin of man.

But even if space aliens existed it is preposterous to suggest that they could be baptized since the purpose of Baptism is to cleanse the children of Eve from the guilt of original sin. “Aliens” did not descend from our first parents so Baptism could not possibly apply to them or to any other creature in Creation.

Leo Appears to Believe in Aliens

Pope Leo’s failure to censure Fr. D’Souza leads the Church to think he believes in space aliens. And in fact he has expressed much openness to this lunacy. Speaking during a reception held for participants of a summer course at the Vatican Observatory in June, Leo said it is possible that aliens exist in other parts of the universe and he extolled the new Vatican telescope, saying:

“Thanks to this remarkable instrument, we are able for the first time to peer deep into the atmosphere of planets in other solar systems, where life could develop.”

So life could develop? Life could only come about through the omnipotent action of the Creator. The Church teaches that all life was created in six days by the Lord On High. Life today remains as it did upon its creation––nothing has developed. The theory of the evolutionary development of life is Darwinist rubbish.

Continuing, Leo said:

“The new technology also makes it possible to trace the ancient light of distant galaxies, which tells us about the origins of our universe."

So the light of distant galaxies could tell us about the origin of the universe? Isn’t the Book of Genesis the sole source of this knowledge? Why would a Catholic prelate look elsewhere for this information? Leo almost comes off as saying that the origin of our universe “developed” outside the six days of Creation. Sounds atheistic.

The first two chapters of Genesis tell us everything we need to know about the origin of man and the universe. God through his own power created the cosmos out of nothing and to suggest that the cosmos could give us clues about its origin denies Creation, and as such, is heresy.

Has Leo lost it?

Note: though this bizarre story made the news last October the lame response of the Catholic hierarchy prompted us to post something on this again lest people grow insensitive to this absurdity.
