Found it on Fark.com - here's their headline:
"If you are a Catholic who believes in aliens, good news: You are no longer going to hell. In related developments, The Pope is now the head of the Church of Scientology too"
Lively discussion as always.
Xenu, take me away!,

I can't imagine a religious (Catholic) argument outlining belief in aliens as a sin. There's no scriptural evidence that extra terrestrial life is wrong in any way.

The Southern Baptist church thinks aliens are actually demons. They attribute all 'paranormal' activity to demons. Along with dinosaur bones. "Devils put 'em there". I have heard this with my own ears.

Yep, same thing with the independent fundy baptists, and a few others, I'm sure.
How lame.

You know what this means don't you? Space missionaries, my friends. Mother Theresa at zero G. Holy floating blessed virgin on the dashboard along with a vial of sacred magical water to baptize the newly found life forms. Christ be with you and don't forget your laser cannon. I can see it now.

This reminded me a day when I was in highschool. A priest came to talk to us, and he was asked if he believed in aliens. He said "why not", and he suggested that if there ARE aliens, then it would bea chance to preach religion to them.
This made me laugh, thinking of the theory that says that aliens created religion heh
Anyway, personally I think there are aliens, but not as Hollywood wants them to be.
