Vatican: It's OK to Believe in Aliens

Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday.

Wonder when the aliens get here which religion they will align with.

Im sure the vatican is hoping it will be theirs "dad", after all Catholic is old latin for "universal"

[Pray to Zeus]

Do they believe in little green men? Would a mythological god that dies and then is resurrected (like a plant in Spring) be counted as a little green man? Was Mary really Isis? What would the Pope say?

I'm pulling for eastern zen philosophy. LIfe in harmony. Alas they will probably more like Douglas Adams and come to make way for an interstellar highway.

It does make me wonder what evidence the church has in those private and secret vaults of theirs. Why would they come out with a story like this, and soon afterward the British release a report with witnesses who are Air Traffic Controllers. Sort of make you wonder, or at least it does me.

Interesting that your handle is for Zeus....you should take it back a few thousand years to egyption. You might be amazed at the lineage.

What if the aliens are gay and want to get married?

As long as they have the proper entry documents for the country they are in and are in a state that allows it fair game.

Way to go catholics! you changed the rules again.

[Leroy]

I wonder if alien catholics molest thier alter boys?

[blong]

A-ha! I THOUGHT I saw Tom Cruise with the Pope during his U.S. visit!

[MMT]

Aliens--Yes

Contraception--No

Sex with alterboys--ummm, OK

Sex for pleasure--NO!

Way to go Pope!

[Gay Butch Guy]

Now if your talking about the Pope advice to the rest of us on how to live, well, I must defer to Margaret Cho who says, the pope is a man in a gold dress with a matching hat, living in a palace filled with the finest antiques in the world surrounded by 500 other men, some in dresses, and some in military garb...oh yeah, he is a real good judge of normal!

BTW, I was born and raised Catholic. I now consider myself a recovering catholic.

Do you know that the Vatican has two yes 2 huge powerful telescopes.
One of them is in Az. I believe.

Well, all I got to say is, if aliens decide to visit, they better register with the INS first lol.

Wonder if they have beer on their planet too...

Satanism or maybe Wicca. Most of the aliens are demons.
