What do you think about what the Vatican have just said about Aliens?

Answer 1

It is an interesting but not Earth shaking discussion.

It would be interesting if they had a seven day week.

One interesting suggestion is that aliens have never disobeyed God, committed Original Sin and therefore do not require salvation.

God keeps them away from us for their own protection. This is why we only see glimpses of them (UFOs) but no real contact can be made.

Just a suggestion.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Religion at one end and Science fiction at the other end are crushing your power of reasoning. Leave Vatican to the clergy; I hope you are not planning a career in religion.

Answer 3

Load of shite, i hate religion and i hate that hating religion is such a taboo subject.

It's things like this that cause criticisms of the Catholic Church and all there contradictory faith, just like when the pope banished purgatory.

Answer 4

I think extra-terrestrial live is completely compatible with religion.  The same questions about how man was created would also apply to aliens.

Answer 5

there hedging there bets.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Anybody that wears hats like the ones they wear in the Vatican has to be from another planet.
