<
So what we have here is "Doc-in-Phoenix" violating his ban on IUFO to
post a slam by a debunker Italian "Ufologist" Edoardo Russo against another
Ufologist, Giorgio Bongiovanni, whom Russo apparently feels is a rival. No
news there. I've never heard of Russo. Bongiovanni is famous, and has lectured
in the United States at the International UFO Congress several times. <
<
> 1) Monsignor Corrado Balducci is NOT a Vatican theologist (that <
> is he is not one of those belonging to any congregation), though <
> is is a theologist and at the same time a priest. <
<
Mr. Russo's disrespectful attempt to turn Monsignor Balducci into
"Mr." Balducci is a familiar old disdainful trick used by debunkers. <
Mr. Russo's denial does not make Monsignor Balducci any less a Vatican
theologian. Mr. Russo's denial does not stop Monsignor Balducci from
continuing his membership on the Vatican commission studying extraterrestrial
contacts. Mr. Russo apparently lives up in Turin. My informant, the ACCET
clinician interviewed Monsignor Balducci in Rome. <
<
> 2) As any other theologist (be they priests or not) he can claim <
> whatever personal opinion he may have, though controversial, on <
> any subject, but that is NOT the Vatican's opinion in any sense. <
<
Mr. Russo's denial does not make him an expert on Vatican matters, nor <
does it stop Monsignor Balducci's being a member of a Vatican commission. <
<
<
> 3) Corrado Balducci is a frequent guest on TV programs on a wide <
> variety of subjects, and he has also talked about UFOs in more <
> than one occasion. In particular, he was interviewed on a <
> "Special TG1" at national TV first channel (Raiuno) about UFOs on <
> August 16, 1997, and he offered his opinion that something must <
> be true, given the many witnesses, and that such alien beings <
> could well be superior to man, though inferior to angels, should <
> have both body and soul, but that he hoped they were less <
> body-conditioned, thus helping us to respect those universal <
> values God put into all intelligent beings. Similar opinions he <
> had already told in a previous TV debate he also took part on <
> October 7, 1995. (I've got a videorecording of both TV emissions <
<
So Mr. Russo DOES acknowledge two of the five times that Monsignor
Balducci has spoken about extraterrestrials on Italian television. <
<
> 4) Such spiritualist viewpoints are shared by the most vociferous <
> UFO cultists here in Italy, grouped around contactee/BVM <
<
Mr. Russo betrays his debunker hand here, labeling anyone who sees
extraterrestrials as having souls a "spiritualist", and labeling ufo
investigators who believe extraterrestrials have souls as "cultists". <
Gee, I thought we had enough debunkers on U.S. UFO newsgroups that we
didn't need to import another one from Turin. <
<
<
> - wrong as of times (it's not such a recent development, but a <
> series of more than two years interviews); <
<
Mr. Russo is in error. I never said that Monsignor Balducci's
declarations were all recent. Indeed, I pointed out that he has made the
declarations of extraterrestrial contact reality on Italian television five
times, obviously over a period of time. What is recent is the ACCET
clinician's interview with Monsignor Balducci in Rome, where she got the
update that a Vatican commission Monsignor Balducci is on is studying
extraterrestrial encounters as a reality, not as a psychological aberration,
not as demonic, and not as spirit possession. <
<
> - wrong as of contents (it's not concerning an acceptance of alien <
> UFOs, <
> but an opinion on the possible spirituality of aliens). <
<
Mr. Russo has it wrong again. I did not say Monsignor Balducci talked
about UFOs; he talked about extraterrestrials as CERTAINLY real, and that they
POSITIVELY have souls, NOT "possibly". <
<
<
As usual, the debunkers have problems with the facts, because they
don't want to hear the facts. <
