The Catholic Church says Aliens are People Too...

On Thursday 15 May, L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, endorsed the possibility that the universe could contain intelligent life beyond Earth, while insisting that aliens would be “our brothers” and “children of God” as much as human beings are.
The Pope’s astronomer, José Gabriel Funes, a Jesuit priest, told L’Osservatore Romano that there would be nothing surprising about the existence of intelligent extra-terrestrials. He said: “Just as there is a multiplicity of creatures on Earth, so there could be other beings created by God [beyond it].”
