- Pope Francis has said he’d baptize Martians if they came to Earth and asked.
In 2008, Jesuit Father Jose Funes ― who at the time was director of the Vatican Observatory ― said space aliens would not be inconsistent with the Bible.
“This is not in contrast with the faith, because we cannot place limits on the creative freedom of God,” he told the Catholic Review. “To use St. Francis’ words, if we consider earthly creatures as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters,’ why can’t we also speak of an ‘extraterrestrial brother?’” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ken-ham-aliens-cant-be-saved_n_612327cae4b029c152b61ea6 |
