The book is published!
After almost three years of an unbelievably large amount of research, analysis, and writing, Only Man Bears His Image is now available. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKNGMC43
As noted in my last post, I chose today as the publication day in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of Victory (Our Lady of the Rosary), seeking out her intercession to crush the infiltration of Paganism into the Church just as her miraculous aid likewise crushed an Islamic invasion into Europe at the Battle of Lepanto. What I did not know was that today would also be the start of yet another Seal of Revelation creaking open. As anyone who has checked the news today has seen, Israel itself is now at war. When “wars and rumors of wars” (Matthew 24) embroil the very same place Our Lord issued that prophecy of the end times 2,000 years ago, this should remind us to stand alert and be on guard for other prophecies about those same times also being fulfilled.
Today’s headlines: (Let us pray, pray, pray for all those affected)
Of paramount importance in what we know to expect for such apocalyptic times is the Great Deception. And I really do believe—and I think those who read this book will find themselves in agreement—that the ET and AI Deceptions are heralding The Great Deception itself; the “lying signs and wonders” of the Antichrist. Little is so urgent as being on guard against it.
I believe this book is by far the most comprehensive Catholic treatment of the general “NHI” question (aliens, sentient AI, etc.) ever published. Every detail of every angle the issue (especially the extraterrestrial one) can possibly be approached from—Scripture, Magisterium, Tradition, science, prophecy, history, private revelation, culture, discernment, eschatology, related “NHI” Deceptions (especially AI), and more—are all rigorously analyzed. The conclusion each line of reasoning presents is unambiguous. Therefore, those who read this book will find themselves rid of any temptation to believe that aliens are among us.
Accordingly, this is a massive book (756 very intense pages). But please do not let its size or scope intimidate you. You do not need to read it cover to cover. There is a very detailed Table of Contents towards the beginning, so you can easily use this as a reference work to address individual questions as they arise. I also wrote its chapters to, as much as possible, stand coherently on their own, so you can focus on whatever individual themes you are interested in without needing to read loads of adjacent material.
Alas, the large size was necessary. This brewing ET (and AI) Deception is so diabolical, so pervasive, so (largely) unaddressed by Catholic authors, and (most troublingly) so promoted by other Catholic authors, that I knew I had to leave no stone unturned.
Indeed, almost all of the biggest, most powerful, richest, and most popular names in both the secular and Catholic media world are pushing the “aliens are walking among us” and “Christianity is completely fine with aliens” narrative. Let’s consider just one Catholic alien promoter, Dr. Paul Thigpen. (No offense against the man personally; he seems like a great guy. Unfortunately, however, he’s greatly misled on this issue and is greatly misleading others.) Dr. Thigpen’s 2022 book promoting Catholic alien belief has become extremely popular, and since its publication he has promoted its thesis on: EWTN’s nationwide morning radio show (huge audience), Matt Fradd’s Pints with Aquinas (400k subscribers), Cameron Berteluzzi’s YouTube channel (200k subscribers), Michael Lofton’s YouTube Channel (50k subscribers), Church Militant (300k subscribers), Crisis Magazine, Relevant Radio, TAN’s channel, and who knows how many other appearances (those are just the few I’ve noticed.)
His message has reached untold millions. And his message is wrong—dead wrong—not to mention exceedingly spiritually dangerous (my book refutes each of its arguments). But he is just one of a whole slew of Catholics arguing similarly. Almost the whole “professional Catholic” world is against me on this point, and the whole secular world certainly is. Suffice it to say, I am not looking forward to the rage I know full well this book will elicit against me. (Major credit, however, is deserved by those Catholics who have likewise spoken against the ET Deception and/or had me on, over the past couple years, to speak against it: John-Henry Westen, Fr. Dan Reehil, Jesse Romero, Michael Hichborn, Hugh Owen, Mother & Refuge Channel [Ron & Debbie], Avoiding Babylon [Anthony & Rob], Taylor Marshall, and others! Also, here’s a shout out to Robert Duncan at the Catholic News Service, who had the courage to diverge from the approach of almost all other mainstream Catholic media reporting on aliens, and gave my side a place in his article on the topic.)
I can already see the spittle-flecked denunciations certain theologians will react to this book’s publication with. “How dare this fool, this nobody, this layman, this mere community college adjunct, contradict me and my cleric friends in the Vatican with our many doctorates in sacred theology! If we believe aliens are fine with the Faith and that ‘extraterrestrial brothers’ are here to save us, no Catholics are allowed to disagree with us!” Yes, they will fume—if not always publicly themselves, at least by way of directing their obedient minions to come up with new slanders to hurl against me. I trust, however, that the more these men attack me, the more people will realize that they are vicious wolves acting in desperation because they realize their arguments have been refuted.
“Their hatred of me is proof that I speak the truth” —Socrates
The point of all this is simple: I need your help to get this book out there.
Right now it’s Gideon’s army of 300 vs. Midian’s army of hundreds of thousands when it comes to us warning against the Great Deception vs. those who are welcoming it with a smile.
But we know who won that battle.
I could also use your help in trying to get this message out to the very big audiences. I believe the argument against the notion that aliens are walking among us is rock solid—bulletproof—and I believe that if only more people could hear it, they could be protected against the diabolical agenda now in the works.
I believe the formal announcement of The Great Deception—the ET/UFO “Day of Disclosure”—could be very soon. We might not have years to slowly but surely trickle out this refutation of it to millions of people. (This is not to mention that rejecting aliens will, once that “Disclosure” happens, likely be deemed “misinformation” and censored just like they censored the truth during Covid tyranny.) So I believe it’s very important that this message gets out to a large group of people… FAST.
So, forgive me if this is overly ambitious, but one very helpful thing you could do, if you feel so inclined, is reach out to your favorite one-million-plus-subscribers podcasters and encourage them to have me on their shows to talk about the topic. Michael Knowles, Raymond Arroyo, Babylon Bee… podcasters/show hosts of that caliber. They’ll much prefer to hear from their listeners than from some guy inviting himself onto their show. So, consider asking your favorite major podcasters, national TV show hosts, national radio hosts, etc., to invite me on. This perhaps doesn’t need to happen immediately (soon I’ll be making a short video, on my YouTube Channel, giving an overview of the book. Large podcasters might be more inclined to have me on once they can see that and get an idea of the book before reaching out to me).
