aliens are my brother

i just read an article that said father gabriel funes, the pope's chief astronomer, said intellegent beings created by god could very well exist in outer space.
no offense father, but, DUH! i have never been naive enough to think that we're the only ones living in the universe. of course nobody really knows, but why would we think we're so superior that we're the only ones running around ruining things? (jk.)
the part that made me laugh, though, is that father funes says that some aliens could be free from original sin. i just don't understand where that idea came from and why it's even relevant. 
it's a little surprising to learn that the vatican is organizing a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of charles darwin's birth. 
interesting, huh?

Maybe they're free from original sin because they haven't had Earthly temptations. I wonder what an alien would say in confession?
