| Pope’s Astronomer (Featured In The Book Exo-Vaticana) Says Apostle Matthew May Have ‘Made Up’ Story About The Star The Magi Followed To The Birthplace Of Jesus. But Either Way He Is Ready To Start Baptizing The STAR GODS! |  | Tom Horn and Cris Putnam examine the
LUCIFER DEVICE at Mt. Graham |
With Christmas just around the corner, Brother Guy Consolmagno gets a lot of questions this time of year about the Star of Bethlehem that led the Magi to Jesus in the manger. Consolmagno is an astronomer — a planetary scientist for the Vatican observatory, in fact — who specializes in asteroids and meteorites, the very sort that may well have been the famous “star” described in the Gospel of Matthew. “It’s fun speculation,” Consolmagno said, smiling though a graying beard while sitting on a bench in Central Park on an unseasonably warm afternoon. “But what’s even more interesting to me is that this story was included, of all the stories that Matthew might have included,” he said, growing animated as he does when diving into his twin vocations of science and theology. “Whether it’s something he heard from Mary, or whether it’s something he made up, why was it included?” |
