A Cardinal, an Exorcist, and Aliens | Can a fallen world last millions of years without Jesus?

The hot topic today is a Cardinal has ousted a good priest , a very good exorcist man, who simply made an opinion that, if I have the facts straight , aliens we see are simply demonic prodigies. Admittedly, the Catholic Church hasn't said one way or another whether aliens exist, in the sense of dogma, however we have seen certain statements from popes [councils?] of, say, in the Middle Ages, saying that such worlds don't exist, but we must remember that that was probably not dogma in an infallible sense.

Still, I think it is important to ask ourselves exactly certain questions about aliens.

An unfallen world comes to visit our insane mess 

Now, in the first case, if there were alien worlds that had never fallen, then because their minds will not have been darkened by the fallen nature, their capacity to reason will be with full purity, so that quite  probably, science and their understanding of the creation would accelerate so wonderfully, that their ability to attain to traverse the universe in  unfathomably advanced modes to get to us would become possible. In this way,  the Lord might show them the horrors and insane mess that results from having too much rope, as Roger Waters would put it. 

It would give them a sobering analysis to remain within peace with God or else be shown just what might await them if they lost their innocence and fell.

A fallen world that gets an Incarnation would pretty much be the same as our Catholic world

But if another world did happen to fall , then we have to ask ourselves some deeper questions. 

Here are some comments that I have perused personally for years:

The way I see it, is that if a world happens to fall, they would probably need their own Incarnation, and I argue this as follows:

I am nearing the completion of a book which contemplates deeper ways to examine the ages of our world than fully existing Catholic theology thus far.

In this book, any world that fell and was to receive an Incarnation would basically have to be a world that follows the same greater history and nature as our Catholic world. It simply follows from building and building and building upon what we already know from our world. 

And yet the Creed testifies that there is only one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Who, within his Divine Being, already reveals more or less the totality of the mysteries of this world within his physical body, crucified and resurrected. (the Incarnate One, the Christ, is the Word of God made visible.  ST JPII already shows that human sexualtiy, which Incarnate One possesses, is revelatory of unfathomable depth.  This begs the question much more of whether other details of the Christ's body are revelatory. Well in my book, a whole other dimension of it shows that there are astounding analogies in the crucified and risen Christ and the situations and scenes that reveal, at minimum, similar amazing doctrinal and hsitorical relatiies, and several I have placed here on 365. But that is perhaps a digression that can followed at a later time.)

Consequently , if most of the details of his crucified and resurrected physical  body reveal the mysteries, which I have found to be very true and could be discussed later, then any other world that received its own Incarnation would basically receive it from beings that are pretty much like us physically.

But then it begs the question: why would God gratuitously create another world that is just like ours, except that the myriads of individual creatures just make up or fill up the ages, if the ages  follow the same trajectory logic and nature?

It would be redundant. 

A fallen world without an incarnation: could it survive until we get to them?

On the other hand, if a fallen world was not to receive any divine revelation or intervention, we have to ask ourselves how they could last millions and millions and millions of years until they get technology and then come to our world and we bring them Jesus? 

We can look at this as follows, learning from the example of the fallen nature in our world and the manifestation of God's grace that is necessary to correct the world that has not as of yet received any chastisement from the Divine.

The flood was clearly a manifestation of mercy, since if God had not intervened, humanity would have annihilated itself. Why? Well, let us explore this assertion. Firstly, we note that humanity at that time was a terrible two, and they had really never experienced any substantial discipline from the Creator. That is, clearly,  they were not in a position to repent. And a world that is in unrepentant wickedness necessarily annihilates itself. 

That is why our world will end when it ends. Humanity will be in an incurable rebellion against God, such that, even when the consequences of their iniquity come upon them, they will still not repent but only blame God (see the concluding vials of apocalypse), and this, after having been given the fullness of divine revelation and God's grace in an age of peace, that is, the era of the reign of our Immaculate Lady's Heart, and yet cast it into God's face and spit on it, going back to the secular messianism that exists in our age. 

Consequently, if another world were to fall, how the hell could it last through very much at all without killing itself off unless God chastised it and started over like with the flood?

But then we are back once again to a world that, how can it go through and pass through phases of at least some divine revelation and intervention and salvation and still last before we bring Jesus to them? For, we can go further:

In a perversely unified society as at Babel, it necessarily implodes because of human pride: the creatures who are always seeking to outdo the others, to see who is the greatest, like the goofy Apostles who were arguing who was the best, where Jesus  had to rebuke them and teach them humility. Hence, allegorically, the fall of the Tower of Babel was part divine intervention and part human nature. 

But once the great materialistic dominion of so-called peaceful prosperity implodes as above, then it is back to the drawing board: many nations warring against one another and trying to recover the great tower.

But this process cannot last for millions of years before total destruction if they don't receive any Revelation or Salvific Intervention.

Consequently,. saying some fallen world could last for millions of years to develop unfathomable technology without destroying itself, that is absurd.

As it is testifying in dogma, it is morally impossible for a normal adult person to avoid mortal sin for a significant period of time apart from Grace, de fide.

The corollary for a conglomerate society is the same. If God does not intervene to correct or redeem or reveal, the society descends into spiritual death and the end of spiritual death is physical death, as Saint James testified: when lust conceives, it brings forth sin, and  sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death,  first physical death then hell!

Alien worlds? Probably Not.
