    Why does the Vatican need a Super Telescope?




    A new book claims that Vatican astronomers are looking for extraterrestrials. And they are using LUCIFER to do it. Although it shares the same name as Christianity’s fallen angel and the personification of evil, LUCIFER is an instrument attached to a telescope.

    As Popular Science explains, LUCIFER is an acronym for the instruments lengthy title, “Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research.” This instrument is attached to the University of Arizona’s Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) located on Mt. Graham in south eastern Arizona. The Vatican-owned Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) is right next door.

    My question is, Why is the pope holding residence at Vatican, Why not in Jerusalem ? Is it because all popes before are Europeans ?

    Jerusalem may have significant relevance, but i guess Europe is where Christianity established its power base. The place is a powder keg, everybody wants to make it their own holy place.


    Why would they name anything LUCIFER?

    They are one and the same. Lucifer, the bearer of light, was 1 of the 4 archangels. He became known as Satan after his fall.

    its because, its the seat of Roman Catholicism.
    Jerusalem is the seat of the Jews.
    and Christ is a Jew.

    They are now trying to make communication with the ancient aliens who altered the apes' DNA and became men.
