Guest Daniel O'Connor joins us to shed light on this fascinating interplay, examining why extraterrestrial beings cannot exist due to the principles and teachings of Catholicism. Daniel's in-depth understanding, stemming from his forthcoming book on the subject, illuminates how the Catholic Catechism asserts that only humans can know and love God. We journey further down the rabbit hole, venturing into areas that link AI, deception, and potential apocalyptic scenarios. Unravel the patterns of the unholy alliance between Lucifer and the elite, and explore how our perceptions may be manipulated by artificial intelligence. We also take a hard look at world events that seem to align with an agenda transcending the Catholic Church and the chilling link between AI and paganism. In our final stretch, we delve into the aftermath of the chastisements on the Church's core, the protection the remnant will have during the reign of the Antichrist, and the significance of amassing treasures in Heaven. It's an eye-opening discourse on aliens, AI, and the Catholic perspective that you won't want to miss.********************************************************https://www.avoidingbabylon.comLocals Community:  https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comStore:  https://avoiding-babylon.sellfy.store/RSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rssSpiritusTV:  https://spiritustv.com/@avoidingbabylonRumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-1626455Odysee:  https://odysee.com/@AvoidingBabylonSupport the showSponsored by Recusant Cellars, an unapologetically Catholic and pro-life winery from Washington state.

Overcoming his nerves, he was met with a warm reception and even a standing ovation from the gracious audience. The conference brought together influential Catholic figures such as John Henry Weston, Jesse Romero, Abby Johnson, Kennedy Hall, and Eric Sammons and emphasized the importance of unity within the Catholic Church.
