Recently, Cardinal Robert McElroy removed Monsignor Steven Rosetti as archdiocese and exorcist for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. Cardinal McElroy also severed formal ties with the D.C.-based St. Michael’s Center for Spiritual Renewal, one of the top providers of Catholic deliverance resources online.

Cardinal McElroy cited recent statements from Rosetti linking UFOs to demonic presence. I will offer my thoughts on that, but first, I will present the Catholic teaching on UFOs.

In fact, the Catholic Church does not have a formal position on the existence of aliens. It considers the question of aliens to be a scientific, rather than theological, issue.
