aliens have existed long before humans did.

what do you think happens to those missing socks??? THE ALIENS TAKE THEM FOR FUEL.

what do you think happens to things you place down for one second (like car keys) and then cant find it again even though it was right in plain view... THE ALIENS STEAL IT for food!!!

The vatican has NOT issued such a statement. A 45 year-old priest has made some speculations based strictly on his own opinion in an interview. It takes far more than a single priest to establish or change Catholic dogma, doctrine, and discipline. Nice try.

Vatican: It's OK to believe in aliens

May 13 12:48 PM US/Eastern

VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican's chief astronomer says that believing in aliens does not contradict faith in God.
The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, says that the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
In an interview published Tuesday by Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes says that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures.
The interview was headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother." Funes said that ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom.

From Wikipedia:

Fr. José Gabriel Funes, S.J. (born January 31, 1963 in Córdoba), an Argentine Jesuit priest and astronomer, is the current director of the Vatican Observatory. He has a master's degree in Astronomy from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba in Argentina and a doctorate from the University of Padua in Italy. He has also a bachelor's degree in philosophy from University del Salvador in Argentina and a bachelor's degree in theology from Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. A member of the Society of Jesus, he was ordained a priest in 1995. He joined the Vatican Observatory as a researcher in 2000, and was named its director on August 19, 2006 replacing Fr. George Coyne.
In an interview in May 2008 [1]he stated that the possible existence of intelligent extraterrestrials did not contradict church teaching[2][3] and ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom. [4] He has speculated that such alien life forms could even be “free from Original Sin … [remaining] in full friendship with their creator.” [5]

Wouldnt it be ironic if the aliens were all pagans, and the only reason they got to us before we got to them, was because the Christian Church had suppressed all the stuff the Greeks and Romans knew and had killed anyone who spoke about them for over a thousand years?

Christ died to save all of God's people, even if they exist on other planets in solar systems and galaxies.

OK. So the Church suppressed all that knowledge and know how from the classical world, because we werent yet ready to hear this galactic Good News?

Did any of the other dying and rising Godmen of Mediterranean cults 1000BC to 250AD, of which Christ is simply a Jewish form amongst exactly matching forms from all over the Mediterranean, save any of the people on other planets?

All Aliens look like humans haven’t you seen Battlestar Galactica? In fact the only thing we don’t have in common with aliens is the word fuck.

"Life exists from one end of Heaven to the other." -Jesus

It's only taken them 2025 years for them to catch up to the words of their own savior... Cripes! No wonder the aliens don't land on the lawn of the White House... we're all such slow learners.

Ok Ellen, I gotta repeat the request that was made by someone else previously in regards to your posts : Warn Us, Damnit!

Spewing cola through my nose onto the keyboard and moniter is both Painful and Time Consuming to clean it up ! Maybe I'll finish cleaning it up after I quit my near hysterical giggling...
