I have never had a clear reason not to be interested in Jimmy Akin but the program I just watched saddens me. Thank Daniel for your insight and logic when it comes to this issue. Let's all pray for anyone who believes, follows or promotes false teachings. This is exactly the devil's goal in causing division. We all need to pray for each other in knowing the truth. Thank you Daniel again for your clear and Holy Spirit guided insight. St. Joseph the Terror of demons, pray for us. 🙏🕊️♥️
Jimmy is waaaaayyyyy too obsessed with science fiction and fantasy entertainment. I used to be as well. I’m still a fan of those genres but I’m still able to correctly compartmentalize them as entertainment. It’s not real or plausible.
Not just sci-fi, but with “logic.” He reminds me of someone that tries so hard to be logical and unbiased, that he loses himself and becomes biased. I feel that he lacks the ability to “let go” and trust in what can’t be proven.
I think this is one of the most important topics of our time…. Catholics & Christians are so vulnerable to these modernist deceits. After years of listening to Fr. Chad Ripperger Ive been made aware of what to look out for and what is the TRUE teachings, especially in his talks on Mary, the unique and singular Holy Mother of God and her roll in the plan of God….Perhaps a discussion between you two is in order…some of these men of the church who have risen to popularity are in great danger of falling into the trap of pride due to their knowledge…we all are in danger of becoming our own gods
It is important, true, as it takes us away from GOD’S WILL. The war in the Middle East and Ukraine are more important, many souls are suffering and many dead are lost to GOD. We have to pray with Mary to save souls. Evil is every where around us. Pray to and with Our Lady and St Michael, and all their friends…. We desperately need HEAVENS help… Pray, PRAY FOR SOULS.🙏🩸🙏
Well said. I learn too from Fr. Ripperger. I stopped following other “well known” priests as some of their views are just that. Their views and not based on the Catholic teachings. One well known justified his grandmothers suicide and stated she did not go to hell. Doesn’t that give the green light to some struggling? I trust Daniel . He speaks truth and never leads anyone astray.
Thank you for this. I really appreciate how clearly you made all your points. Hopefully Matt will ask you on his show so more people can hear this and not be misled.
The ideas Akin is floating here are what used to be called New Age, but today would be called Woke. I am surprised by this because I had assumed he held more strictly to traditionalism. You are absolutely right in your analysis, Daniel, and when the ET psyop is fully unveiled, this will be the issue used to divide the wheat and the tares. God bless!
Let’s pray for Jimmy Akin and other influential highly intelligent people who are leading others astray. Thank you for refuting this UFO Alien absurdity. It’s saddening to know how much we’re hurting the Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus Christ 😢
I too have had problems with the way Jimmy has argued certain points. Sometimes they are just way out there. This is a perfect example. Does he not understand they are demons? Thank you Daniel for rebutting his argument.
I used to listen to Catholic Answers radio broadcast in the car, but had to stop after realizing that the reason I (a 60 yo life-long Catholic) was feeling uneasy was because of Mr. Akin’s condescending tone when answering questions. I have sinned, and unfortunately I continue to sin. However, I believe that this gift of my Catholic faith has resulted in a well-formed conscience, so I trust the Holy Spirit when He says, “Nope, don’t listen to that”.
I spent YEARS studying Catholic Answers apologetics produced by Karl Keating, Patrick Madrid, Jimmy Akin and others, and I am very grateful for the solid foundation that I received from them. However, I have never understood Akin's obsession with science fiction.
I've had problems with other things Akin has said. He thinks the Era of Peace already happened!?! What about the conversion of Russia? I simply don't believe Akin to be the Oracle others believe.
In that same podcast he also framed freemasonry in a somewhat positive light claiming much of the negativity around it is due to superstition. I agree with a whole lot of what the guy says and he's a lot smarter than me but I find that very alarming
@@SaintJoseph911 yeah, he made denigrating remarks referring to Dr Taylor Marshalls book, "Infiltration", as not having any proof. I read the book and Taylor does lay out proof, as Fr Murr does in his book , "Murder in the 33rd Degree". I recommend both books!
@@etcwhatever Absolutely agree with you! Free masonry has the most evil structure and communism is one of its off shoots. They both share demonic goals.
Oh Dear Daniel you are so right, its another attack against you in a very deliberate way, this chap is knowingly bating you. Your goodness shines in your face Our Blessed Jesus protect you and your family🙏🏼
Idk what you think about Pints with aquinas channel but i unsubscribed after they tried to gaslight people about Fiducia Supplicans. From that channel i only watch the videos with Mother Natalia from the bizantine rite.
I can’t watch Pints anymore after no push back on Jimmy … I just can’t give my time anymore to media or podcasts people who won’t challenge a narrative.
I listen to”pints” but I don’t swallow everything. GOD’S WILL is beyond my comprehension. Don’t we have enough troubles with devils, who are amazingly smarter than humans.???👿??
Who open the mouth without thoughts. Ignorant science fiction… stupidity flowing nonsense, Gosh I thought they had a brain? Damaged n deranged, what a waste😮
Jesus was fully human and fully Divine. He suffered greatly and died for our sins. The Virgin Mother, a perfect creature, was chosen by God to play a huge role in the salvation of mankind. These truths in and of themselves give us lots to talk about. No need for alien nonsense. This is a unnecessary distraction to our faith. Oh and there are, indeed, only two sexes. Thank you, Daniel, for this good video.
Thank you Daniel for your book and for everything you are doing to defend the Truth. I find it hard to believe that some learned Theologians are falling for this deception. May God bless and protect you and your beautiful family.
Well done, Daniel!!👏👏👏 I’ve never been a fan of Jimmy Akin mostly due to the arrogant tone he uses on Catholic Answers. In contrast, I applaud your gentle and humble approach as you totally dismantled his arguments.
Daniel is graciously charitable by taking time to teach and educate all of us. GOD BLESS DANIEL WHO LIVES BY GODS DIVINE WILL ✝️🙏🏼🛐 and an enormous inspiration to many ❣️
I'm not a big fan of Jimmy Akin. I wish him well, but IMO too many people take everything he says as concrete, but he's as human as the rest of us, therefore fallible. I even had one person say to me that he "debunked" the 3 days of darkness...really...? In that case, I'll err with Marie Julie Jahenny over Mr. Akin.
Jimmy will endlessly scrutinize every detail of quotes about such things as the 3 Days of Darkness or the Warning in **every conceivably possible** way... yet with aliens, he appears to simply take on blind faith this bogus claim that JPII voiced belief in them! (This, despite the fact that this completely unsupported JPII quote undergirds Jimmy's entire argument against me re: the Catechism)
@@DSDOConnor Thanks for the reply Daniel. When I was going through my profound conversion and doing my consecration to Jesus through Mary the very first time, I was also in the process of giving up 20 years of very bad mortal sin. During the last week of the consecration, I experienced sleep paralysis. It was easily the most terrifying experience of my whole life. I could feel something sitting on top of my chest shaking me. I couldn't open my eyes, move or speak. I managed to mutter a Hail Mary, and by the time I got to "Jesus" in the prayer, it instantly stopped. Some secular people chalk sleep paralysis up to bad dreams or even aliens, but I have no doubt that it was a demonic attack. I was actively trying to give up my sinful life and give myself to God, and "they" didn't like that.
@@enshala6401 The Laws of Probability tell us that it's a miracle that humans even exist, so it's virtually impossible that sentient life exists on any other planet.
@janeyount8412 Again, God can do anything He wants. What do probabilities have to do with life on Earth? From a Christian perspective, literally nothing. Are you not a Christian?
@@enshala6401have you studied so called abductions?? I did before I came back to the ONE AND ONLY TRUE CHURCH OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST and let me tell u that these so called aliens flee at the name of JESUS. VIVA CRISTO REY!!
Thank you Daniel! I was very uncomfortable and really taken aback at A LOT of what Jimmy Akin said and you covered most of it, WELL SAID! And...the Blessed Virgin Mary is the One Mother of God! Oh, Holy Mother Mary, pray for us!
Thank you! In the words of the cowardly lion - "ain't no way, ain't no how!" Good grief I'm hearing a LOT of Catholics all in on this. Nada. Appreciate your mix of the scholarly with humor.
Jimmy Akin is an avowed lover of science fiction. This explains his science fiction-y beliefs. When you watch *that* much Star Trek, you start to forget that it’s *fiction.* ❤
Thank you Dr. O'Connor for this video. I was very unsettled after watching this PWA episode. Especially after the comments regarding our Blessed Mother. Felt almost physically ill.
I support you 100% Daniel! Thank you for being a courageous voice of holy wisdom. We need you!!! While I find Jimmy's Mysterious World podcast entertaining, I am concerned about his comingling of science fiction with theology. It's irresponsible to sow such confusion within the Church.🙏🏻
What Jimmy was missing most, in my opinion, is that he was reading more into the "spirit" of the Catechism, rather than the black and white words. Everyone should know, the doctrine of infallibility and the teaching authority of the Church doesn't apply to the "spirit" of anything, but rather to the "letter" of what is declared and published by the legitimate Magisterium.
Thank you Daniel for your love and care of our souls. ❤❤ Honestly, it feels like common sense that alien existence is impossible, but it is good to have your excellent research proofs in my toolbox. I bought your book as soon as it was available.
Jimmy is the one who made my foundation in Christ strong and Daniel is the one who introduced me to the mysticism of our faith. I can see how wrong it can go when the church introduces something outrageous. This will trigger a great split in the church and people will choose the one that is easier to understand and has practical benefits. Thank you Daniel for all the things you do for our Lord Jesus Christ.
I wish people would be willing to speak to and about Jimmy Akin with true Charity. People seem unwilling to challenge his celebrity status. The man is never truly challenged and/or avoids any real challenge, but his soul is at risk.
Yes his book would be good. I glad Daniel at least commented back to you. I never received any comments from him regarding his book awhile back I made a very nice comment asking a few questions. I'm sorry to say that I never received any response back from Daniel. I'm very happy Daniel at least responded back to you. God Bless you Sir. You also Daniel O'Connor.
You're very charitable. I have never been a fan of Jimmy Aiken but the things he has said regarding the Blessed Mother here are so disturbing I never expected for him to become so deluded as to entertain these ideas. It is truly tragic how far he has fallen as one of the most respected Catholic apologists. I think of him whenever you warn about theologians who will fall for the great deception. I have to say though I just can't see Scott Hahn ever falling for deceptions like this!
Well done Daniel. Back in 2004-2007 Jimmy Akin was instrumental in my conversion to the Catholic Church and now look at him. It appears his Mysterious World has caused some sort of mind-melt, I can't even watch him anymore. Very sad.
Well some people get influenced by the evil one after a period of great public exposure...this even happened to an exorcist here in Europe. Its not easy...people get tempted. We need to pray for each other.
I Appreciate your analysis Daniel. In these times especially, we clear and concise explanations to help us avoid distractions to the truths of our faith. Thank you for all you do!
When Akin says "Recent Popes" something triggers my head. There s some thing in correlation between start to believe things contrary to 2000 years of magisterium and "Recent Popes"
Daniel.. I like to tell you something that happened to me when I was in my teens. One night I was awakened by multi colored lights shining through my bedroom window. When I got up and pulled the curtain to the side I was expecting to see an ambulance but instead saw a flying saucer hovering right over the oak tree next to my window. I freaked out and jumped into bed and covered myself with my blanket shaking uncontrollably. Then they telepathically communicated to me that they would be back the next night at the same time. The following night came and I remembered about the previous night which I forced myself to believe it was just a nightmare but I remembered how they said they would be back. Then, around 11:45 or so the lights shined thru my window and they telepathically communicated themselves not walking but hovering above the ground next to the wall of the house headed towards my bedroom window. ( I can still see this clearly in my mind) Next thing I look over towards the window to my right (the top of the bed was against the wall and the window to my right on the same wall) and one by one these grey beings with flimsy small torsos,long arms, long fingers, big oval heads,small noses,small mouths with one being taller then the rest and one had a purple cape which stood at the foot of my bed. There were at least 4 inside my bedroom and 1 outside. They paralyzed my entire body except my head which I was able to look at all of them panicked and they were able to mute me. So I wasn’t able to yell for help. I looked at the tall one next to me on my right and this one looked down onto me and smiled. But the one with the cape at the foot didn’t look happy whatsoever. Next thing you know I black out and I wake up as if nothing happened. Why they decided to visit me? I wish I knew. What they did to me? I have no clue. But the night before they appeared I began to speak to my brother in a different language that my brother freaked out and told me to stop that I shouldn’t be saying things that I don’t know what I’m saying but I told him that I couldn’t help to control it. What are they? If they are good angels I wouldn’t have feared and they would’ve advised me not to fear. If they were bad angels then what do they want from me? If they were beings from another galaxy or within our own,then I’ve been abducted and in their virtual reality world making me believe that I’m in earth but really in some simulation where they have my conscience plugged into their highly advanced system that allows me to think that I’m alive. Like the Matrix. But what do they want from me?
Indeed, these were demons. Demons can, for example, temporarily enable someone to speak a language they do not know. If this happens again, do not ever dialogue with them and do not even think about what they "want" from you. Simply immediately resort to prayer to Jesus Christ, and they will flee. Have no fear, just trust in Jesus.
Thank you for this Daniel. Keep the faith and warn time is short and how many believe the Word of God? JMJ have mercy on us. All that has been spoken will come to pass.
Thank you, Daniel... I dropped Akin years ago after a brief interest period, and this video you put together just confirms that was a wise decision. However, my beef is with Matt F... Matt is becoming more spineless as time marches on, trying to give the impression he is a solid Catholic but increasingly hesitant to take a Catholic stand, almost as though he calculates growth in his number of followers if he acts 'nice' with his guests, treating them with kid gloves. Did he think he will consequently attract some of their followers into his own numbers? If he will NOT hold guests to account? Then he ought to drop his 'Catholic' persona and come out as a neutral, secular host
Daniel THANK YOU for your tireless work refuting the falsehoods of "alien" doctrines and deceptions. May God bless you abundantly. I have heard Father Spitzer say that the Church just wanted Galileo not to definitely say that the earth was not geocentric without evidence. That makes sense.
Thank you so very much, Daniel!!! I thought I was the only one upset about this interview that I watched!! You have stated all of the problems that I had with Jimmy. God bless your work!!!
Well, Mr Akin leans towards modernist theological ideology. Although, I do believe Mr Akins loves the Church and works diligently to promote the truth of the Catholic teachings.
Thanks Daniel, I got your book and its very informative. Never have been a big Akin fan. God bless all with discerment, we're gonna need it soon Im guessing.
EXACTLY what I was thinking. I’ve tried to share the Kolbe Center (Hugh Owen) with Jimmy because I was floored by his belief in evolution. Jimmy was an instrument in my conversion, I love him dearly. Jimmy is wrong with some of this stuff though. Daniel is wrong in some areas too (in my opinion); but not with this one! I love Daniel, keep at it brother.
The world was not created in 6 physical 24hr consecutive days. Science doesn't lie. I encourage you to learn how to intepret and understand the styles and literally devices of the Sacred Authors of Primeval History. 😊
Evolution is the foundation stone to athiestic viewpoints. Communists rely on the pseudo science. Just read some of Darwin's actual work and where hid bloodlines trace; I can't believe Jimmy wouldn't know. He's a skilled deceiver. I'm praying for him.
How does Jimmy reconcile this statement from the Council of Nicaea: "Those who say: There was a time when He was not, and He was not before He was begotten; and that He was made out of nothing (ex ouk onton); or who maintain that He is of another hypostasis or another substance [than the Father], or that the Son of God is created, or mutable, or subject to change, [them] the Catholic Church anathematizes."
When anyone starts attacking the great Mother of God Himself, my senses go on high alert. Beware you do not offend Jesus by insulting His beloved mother who is FULL of grace. Also, yes, aliens are demons!
Proof that God is Good. Converts galore coming to the Catholic Faith, and fine minds like Daniel O'Connor to explain the facts. If I had a fear, and I don't really, it was "who will lead the way...with the miserable hierarchy we have been dealing with. It reminds me that in the end times, saints will come from the ranks of lay people. I forget who said it, but it's making sense.
Additional arguments. 1) modern mystics: aliens are demons; 2) exorcists: aliens run away from holy things; 3) astronomy: the Earth in the middle of the Universe; 4) biology: aliens' bodies violate biological laws; 5) physics: alien ships violate physical laws; 6) abductions by aliens: resemble demonic possessions; 7) exorcism: demons were obliged to admit that they were a special class of demons, capable to materialize into anything, and they easily materialized into alien discoid ships; 8) alien eyes: dark and empty in the same way as demonic eyes.
Yes unfortunately Jimmy is in trouble with these beliefs. I started listening to him but he speaks of all this wired stuff which could possibly be demons… He will be in my prayers from now on… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I always felt that if God created beings on other planets, He would let us know. The first time i saw one of your videos on this, it made so much sense that you can not argue it rationally. I have gone through my Catechism many times, and I use it to teach CCD. But i never thought that deeply about it. I guess because I dont put much thought into aliens. But now i know to be more cautious if and when so-called aliens appear
Jimmy Aiken makes my brain hurt. 😳😳😳. Sorry but he does. I am so tired of this nonsense. Thankyou for your perseverance. Keep fighting the good fight, run the race! Keep the faith! Gods gonna straighten all this malarkey out real soon. Trust! I am praying for you and Jimmy Aiken too!
Daniel I’m always on your side! You always debunk these people so well. With truth and grace.
That is because Daniel is on our LORDS side. GOD BLESS U. VIVA CRISTO REY

Thank you Daniel for all the things you do for our Lord Jesus Christ.
Go get em Daniel, facts don’t lie
I wish people would be willing to speak to and about Jimmy Akin with true Charity. People seem unwilling to challenge his celebrity status. The man is never truly challenged and/or avoids any real challenge, but his soul is at risk.
Jimmy Akin's mysterious opinions.
I didn't think I needed to get your book because I have common sense. But now I'm going to get it!
Yes his book would be good. I glad Daniel at least commented back to you. I never received any comments from him regarding his book awhile back I made a very nice comment asking a few questions. I'm sorry to say that I never received any response back from Daniel. I'm very happy Daniel at least responded back to you. God Bless you Sir. You also Daniel O'Connor.
You're very charitable. I have never been a fan of Jimmy Aiken but the things he has said regarding the Blessed Mother here are so disturbing I never expected for him to become so deluded as to entertain these ideas. It is truly tragic how far he has fallen as one of the most respected Catholic apologists. I think of him whenever you warn about theologians who will fall for the great deception. I have to say though I just can't see Scott Hahn ever falling for deceptions like this!
What did Akin say about Our Lady?
He shows the clips a little past 44 mins into this video
Great response. We need to remain steadfast in our faith based on the Catechism as a true magisterium of our Church. God bless!
Thank you Daniel for your well-thought-out and illuminating responses. Great to hear and ponder all the sides to this question.
Well done Daniel. Back in 2004-2007 Jimmy Akin was instrumental in my conversion to the Catholic Church and now look at him. It appears his Mysterious World has caused some sort of mind-melt, I can't even watch him anymore. Very sad.
Well some people get influenced by the evil one after a period of great public exposure...this even happened to an exorcist here in Europe. Its not easy...people get tempted. We need to pray for each other.
I have cried many times since seeing this. Thank you for making this video
I Appreciate your analysis Daniel. In these times especially, we clear and concise explanations to help us avoid distractions to the truths of our faith. Thank you for all you do!
When Akin says "Recent Popes" something triggers my head. There s some thing in correlation between start to believe things contrary to 2000 years of magisterium and "Recent Popes"
Daniel.. I like to tell you something that happened to me when I was in my teens.
One night I was awakened by multi colored lights shining through my bedroom window.
When I got up and pulled the curtain to the side I was expecting to see an ambulance but instead saw a flying saucer hovering right over the oak tree next to my window.
I freaked out and jumped into bed and covered myself with my blanket shaking uncontrollably.
Then they telepathically communicated to me that they would be back the next night at the same time.
The following night came and I remembered about the previous night which I forced myself to believe it was just a nightmare but I remembered how they said they would be back.
Then, around 11:45 or so the lights shined thru my window and they telepathically communicated themselves not walking but hovering above the ground next to the wall of the house headed towards my bedroom window. ( I can still see this clearly in my mind)
Next thing I look over towards the window to my right (the top of the bed was against the wall and the window to my right on the same wall)
and one by one these grey beings with flimsy small torsos,long arms, long fingers, big oval heads,small noses,small mouths with one being taller then the rest and one had a purple cape which stood at the foot of my bed.
There were at least 4 inside my bedroom and 1 outside.
They paralyzed my entire body except my head which I was able to look at all of them panicked and they were able to mute me. So I wasn’t able to yell for help.
I looked at the tall one next to me on my right and this one looked down onto me and smiled.
But the one with the cape at the foot didn’t look happy whatsoever.
Next thing you know I black out and I wake up as if nothing happened.
Why they decided to visit me? I wish I knew.
What they did to me?
I have no clue.
But the night before they appeared I began to speak to my brother in a different language that my brother freaked out and told me to stop that I shouldn’t be saying things that I don’t know what I’m saying but I told him that I couldn’t help to control it.
What are they? If they are good angels I wouldn’t have feared and they would’ve advised me not to fear. If they were bad angels then what do they want from me?
If they were beings from another galaxy or within our own,then I’ve been abducted and in their virtual reality world making me believe that I’m in earth but really in some simulation where they have my conscience plugged into their highly advanced system that allows me to think that I’m alive. Like the Matrix. But what do they want from me?
Indeed, these were demons. Demons can, for example, temporarily enable someone to speak a language they do not know.
If this happens again, do not ever dialogue with them and do not even think about what they "want" from you. Simply immediately resort to prayer to Jesus Christ, and they will flee. Have no fear, just trust in Jesus.
Thank you for this Daniel. Keep the faith and warn time is short and how many believe the Word of God? JMJ have mercy on us.
All that has been spoken will come to pass.
Thank you Daniel, God bless you too 🙏
I'm not so sure about Jimmy Akin any longer. Good work Daniel. Thank you!
God bless you Daniel and your family stay strong in your faith ✝️🙏🙏🙏👨💻👨⚖️🕊🦅👨🏻🔬
I had a horrific encounter while reading Streiber's books and it was absolutely a demonic presence.
Thanks for promoting Luisa P. I'm only at volume 2...but how awesome!
Thank you for your clarity and the privilege to witness theological discourse.
BRAVO!!! Well explained. Extremely knowledgeable. It couldn't get any better than that! May God bless you and your family 🙏
THANKS BE TO GOD that He put you on this mission, Daniel. This work is so important! JESUS, help us all. Mother Mary Help of Christians, pray for us!
I don’t understand how someone can be Catholic and believe in aliens…
They're normally suffering of a crisis of faith... I have family members who believe in "Aliens" and sadly they're not practicing the faith .
Thank you Daniel for teaching and defending truth!
Thank you, Daniel... I dropped Akin years ago after a brief interest period, and this video you put together just confirms that was a wise decision. However, my beef is with Matt F... Matt is becoming more spineless as time marches on, trying to give the impression he is a solid Catholic but increasingly hesitant to take a Catholic stand, almost as though he calculates growth in his number of followers if he acts 'nice' with his guests, treating them with kid gloves. Did he think he will consequently attract some of their followers into his own numbers? If he will NOT hold guests to account? Then he ought to drop his 'Catholic' persona and come out as a neutral, secular host
When are you and Jimmy going to have a friendly debate about this Dan? On your side brother
I’m not a scholar -Jimmy does nothing for me at all, almost annoying at times. Daniel should debate him for sure 🙏🙏🙏
Daniel THANK YOU for your tireless work refuting the falsehoods of "alien" doctrines and deceptions. May God bless you abundantly. I have heard Father Spitzer say that the Church just wanted Galileo not to definitely say that the earth was not geocentric without evidence. That makes sense.
Thank you so very much, Daniel!!! I thought I was the only one upset about this interview that I watched!! You have stated all of the problems that I had with Jimmy. God bless your work!!!
Never heard any of Jimmy Akin poscasts until now. So glad. Keep up the good work Daniel. God bless.
I was waiting for a response 🙏 It is so important to have people like you who are not afraid of pointing out the Truth😮 THE TRUTH WILL LET YOU FREE❤
Well, Mr Akin leans towards modernist theological ideology. Although, I do believe Mr Akins loves the Church and works diligently to promote the truth of the Catholic teachings.
Thank you thank you! For keeping us on the right track!
Your arguments Makes perfect sense! Absolutely agree!
I am so disappointed in Jimmy...we need to pray for him!!! Keep up your awesome work Daniel!
Thanks Daniel, I got your book and its very informative. Never have been a big Akin fan. God bless all with discerment, we're gonna need it soon Im guessing.
Thank you for this wonderful clarification!!
Thank you! You are helping me understand.
Jimmy believes in evolution instead of the literal 6 day creation story. It makes sense he will believe in aliens.
I don’t think that’s a problem…
EXACTLY what I was thinking. I’ve tried to share the Kolbe Center (Hugh Owen) with Jimmy because I was floored by his belief in evolution. Jimmy was an instrument in my conversion, I love him dearly. Jimmy is wrong with some of this stuff though. Daniel is wrong in some areas too (in my opinion); but not with this one! I love Daniel, keep at it brother.
@@thelonelysponge5029it is. Check out evolutionism vs. Creationism by Hugh Owen.
The world was not created in 6 physical 24hr consecutive days. Science doesn't lie. I encourage you to learn how to intepret and understand the styles and literally devices of the Sacred Authors of Primeval History. 😊
Evolution is the foundation stone to athiestic viewpoints. Communists rely on the pseudo science. Just read some of Darwin's actual work and where hid bloodlines trace; I can't believe Jimmy wouldn't know. He's a skilled deceiver. I'm praying for him.
Thank you Daniel! God bless you and Our Lady cover you with her mantle 🙏
Many will be deceived...😢
Thank you Daniel. You are my go to source for true messages. God bless you.
Didn’t know about this Matt Frad interview but it is always reassuring to hear your voice and arguments. Thank you!
Thank you Daniel, God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
It just goes to show you the depths this alien heresy can reach in our church. Scary. Thank you, Daniel! God bless you and your work.
Love your podcasts Daniel, thank you for all your efforts..live from Belfast Norton Ireland 🇮🇪 🙏❤
Finally!
It will be amazing to see both of you debating this topic.
How does Jimmy reconcile this statement from the Council of Nicaea:
"Those who say: There was a time when He was not, and He was not before He was begotten; and that He was made out of nothing (ex ouk onton); or who maintain that He is of another hypostasis or another substance [than the Father], or that the Son of God is created, or mutable, or subject to change, [them] the Catholic Church anathematizes."
God bless you Daniel. Thank you!!!
When anyone starts attacking the great Mother of God Himself, my senses go on high alert. Beware you do not offend Jesus by insulting His beloved mother who is FULL of grace. Also, yes, aliens are demons!
I think Matt interviewed the wrong UFO specialist. Or rather, the wrong "NON-UFO" specialist.
Proof that God is Good. Converts galore coming to the Catholic Faith, and fine minds like Daniel O'Connor to explain the facts. If I had a fear, and I don't really, it was "who will lead the way...with the miserable hierarchy we have been dealing with. It reminds me that in the end times, saints will come from the ranks of lay people. I forget who said it, but it's making sense.
Additional arguments. 1) modern mystics: aliens are demons; 2) exorcists: aliens run away from holy things; 3) astronomy: the Earth in the middle of the Universe; 4) biology: aliens' bodies violate biological laws; 5) physics: alien ships violate physical laws; 6) abductions by aliens: resemble demonic possessions; 7) exorcism: demons were obliged to admit that they were a special class of demons, capable to materialize into anything, and they easily materialized into alien discoid ships; 8) alien eyes: dark and empty in the same way as demonic eyes.
This is awesome! Thank you. 🙏🏻 ❤
Yes unfortunately Jimmy is in trouble with these beliefs. I started listening to him but he speaks of all this wired stuff which could possibly be demons…
He will be in my prayers from now on… 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless you Daniel O'Connor! May God reward you as you teach and clarify
I always felt that if God created beings on other planets, He would let us know. The first time i saw one of your videos on this, it made so much sense that you can not argue it rationally. I have gone through my Catechism many times, and I use it to teach CCD. But i never thought that deeply about it. I guess because I dont put much thought into aliens. But now i know to be more cautious if and when so-called aliens appear
Jimmy is a nice guy... But i dont look to him for Catholic guidance on anything... Sorry!
Daniel oconnor you are my heroe ! I aggree with you ..GOD bless you.
Jimmy Aiken makes my brain hurt. 😳😳😳. Sorry but he does. I am so tired of this nonsense. Thankyou for your perseverance. Keep fighting the good fight, run the race! Keep the faith! Gods gonna straighten all this malarkey out real soon. Trust! I am praying for you and Jimmy Aiken too!
Funny, Trey Smith made a whole video film supporting your point on this....stand fast Daniel
Has He become Catholic? Last I knew he was in some non-denominational Protestant world as far as I understood.
jimmys argument was very vague, all he said was "theologians" and the "catechism" but didnt give names or references.
