As we look back on the life of Pope Francis, we recount some of his most controversial statements and views. A couple of those related directly to the validity of all faiths and the topic of UFOs.
Bible prophecy researcher and author L.A. Marzulli raised serious concerns over statements involving Pope Francis and the narrative surrounding UFOs. Marzulli addressed what he believes are clear signs of end-times deception, pointing specifically to the Pope’s troubling statements about all religions leading to God and the Vatican’s growing openness to extraterrestrial phenomena.

In September 2024, Pope Francis declared during an interfaith youth gathering in Singapore that all religions are valid paths to God, comparing them to different languages that ultimately lead to the same destination. Marzulli sees this as a dangerous departure from the exclusive truth of the Gospel, and a direct contradiction of Christian doctrine. Rather than promoting peace, such statements blur the line between truth and error, opening the door to a one-world religion—a hallmark of the apostasy warned about in Scripture.
Marzulli also noted inconsistencies between the Pope’s Italian and English statements, suggesting that certain versions may have been strategically toned down to avoid backlash. For Marzulli, this selective messaging points to a calculated effort to gradually shift global religious sentiment toward a unified spiritual framework that embraces all faiths—something he believes plays directly into the hands of the coming global deception.
Beyond religious pluralism, Marzulli has expressed concerned about the Vatican’s engagement with the subject of UFOs.
Over the past several years, the Catholic Church has shown openness to the possibility of extraterrestrial life, hosting and participating in conferences that entertain theological implications of alien contact. Marzulli ties this interest directly to biblical end-times prophecy, warning that what the world calls “aliens” may in fact be fallen angels or spiritual entities bent on deceiving mankind.
As governments around the world accelerate disclosure of unidentified aerial phenomena, Marzulli believes the stage is being set for a great delusion—one that will captivate the masses and challenge traditional religious beliefs. He sees the merging of religious universalism with the increasing normalization of UFO activity as two sides of the same coin. Both serve to undermine the authority of Scripture and prepare the world to embrace a false narrative in place of the Gospel.
The truth behind what was happening during the last papacy couldn’t be clearer: the world is being conditioned for a supernatural deception to challenge the very foundation of Christian faith.
