Cardinal Removes Exorcist Who Linked UFOs to Demons, Then Changes Story

Cardinal McElroy removed Washington D.C.'s prominent exorcist Msgr. Stephen Rossetti after he publicly stated that many UFO sightings are demons in disguise, then contradicted his archdiocese's own press release by claiming the removal was about privacy, not the UFO remarks. This episode signals a deepening fracture within Church leadership over acknowledging demonic activity — a critical blind spot as Scripture warns that the end-times will be marked by powerful deceptions and counterfeit signs. Second Thessalonians 2:9–12 explicitly warns that the coming lawless one will operate 'with all wicked deception' and 'pretended signs and wonders,' with God permitting a 'strong delusion' so that those who reject truth will believe what is false.
