With the new speculations around the Trump administration and disclosure (let’s wait two more weeks by the way), and with the allegedly non-coincidental disappearance of scientists, the classic argument is becoming popular again that actual disclosure would be problematic, because our society - especially the religious part - wouldn’t be able to handle it. But is that really the case? If you look at this article from 2023, you can see how the Vatican is actually speculating and investigating ET life. In Catholic doctrine, such life is just considered part of Creation. An actual discovery would be welcomed. Or would there be something about a disclosure that goes beyond this? What could it be that we aren’t able to handle? (Wow sorry for the long sentence at the beginning) submitted by /u/JuztinVestigium [link] [comments]
