In an interview with Cardinal Rossini, Vance said that while he acknowledged that belief in extraterrestrial life is consistent with Catholic teaching, many, if not most, of these alleged UFO sightings are actually demonic, and that these entities can do things beyond human capabilities.
Apparently, US President Donald Trump did not share his opinion and removed him from his position as an exorcist. Some official exorcists within the Church operate secretly, without revealing their identities. However, many others, including Monsignor Rossetti, speak openly about their experiences battling demons. Rossetti has authored several books, including Memoirs of an American Exorcist. Last year, he appeared in the American version of the Catholic documentary Victory Over Evil: The Battle of the Exorcists. He previously stated that another exorcist told him he believed someone was possessed by aliens, which Rossetti dismissed as nonsense. He said that if alien beings exist, they do not inhabit humans; rather, they are demonic forces attempting to deceive, conceal, and manipulate.
On another note, a spokesperson for the Catholic University of America confirmed last Thursday that Monsignor Rossetti is still an associate professor in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies. A spokesperson for the Archdiocese of Syracuse, where Monsignor Rossetti was ordained a priest in the 1980s, said that he still enjoys a good reputation there and that the archdiocese has no further information regarding his dismissal by the Archdiocese of Washington.
This monsignor’s story reminded me of a man who lived among us for a long time. Early in his career, he worked as an exorcist, claiming to perform ritual exorcisms. He used to strike the possessed person with a heavy stick, insisting that the demon leave the patient’s body. One day, a man (whose name is known) died as a result of the beating. The individual was brought to justice and sentenced to ten years in prison for manslaughter. He later received a pardon and went on to become a prominent figure, raising millions through a charity. His Kuwaiti citizenship was recently revoked.
