Because NASA has Freemasonic, occult, satanic roots.
All evidence points to a fake, staged "alien" (demonic) invasion. More than one Vatican source has pushed the notion that "aliens" from other solar systems may not have experienced the Fall and may be more spiritually advanced than we are. They may be the ones to "baptise us."
Yes, and they're ramping all that up as we speak, gradually "disclosing" this, that, and the other thing.
I'm a firm believer that the Antichrist will be presented as a alien. It'll be explained that Jesus, Mohammed, Moses, etc. ... were all really aliens, as this Alien Antichrist replicates their miracles and even changes appearance to look like them. 99% of the world will be duped by this. Of course, as you pointed out, the Vatican is all on board with this ... as it has been in total lockstep with ever piece of the Globalist agenda.
Alien Antichrist will "part the Red Sea" (as Moses did), multiply loaves/fishes, heal illnesses, etc. etc. And prophecy indicates that his final act will be to mimic the Ascension into Heaven, at which point he will finally be struck down and destroyed.
I don't see any other scenario in which all Catholics, heretic/schismatic "Christians", Muslims, and Jєωs would all buy in to a single religious figure.
