St. Augustine Taught, Even Sane Men View Delusions by Demons

When it comes to "aliens", for a long time, psychiatry has held the forefront. Hallucination plus delusion. Needs treatment.

Recently, there is a pushback. Doubly.

UFO-logists are saying "you weren't ill, you met a person from an exo-planet." Christians are saying "you weren't ill, you saw a demon having taken visible form."

Psychiatry obviously is not happy with either approach.

And it seems they have now support from McElroy.

How so? Here is an intro to a video by Anthony Stine:

And then the Cardinal McElroy* in Washington basically said he violated the church's teaching on exorcisms and demonic
0:54 possessions or anything, but then he didn't exactly explain how.

My hunch on how is the rule:

According to the Vatican's guidelines issued in 1999, "the person who claims to be possessed must be evaluated by doctors to rule out a mental or physical illness".

In other words, McElroy wants people already bothered by (not possessed by) demonic "aliens" to be further bothered by shrinks before they can get an exorcist to pray for them even just for protection.

Washington Diocese would be again an example of "get out of her" ...
