Here's an interesting news:

"Vatican City, May 14: The Vatican’s chief astronomer says there is no conflict between believing in God and in the possibility of "extraterrestrial brothers" perhaps more evolved than humans. "In my opinion this possibility (of life on other planets) exists," said Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, a 45-year-old Jesuit priest who is head of the Vatican Observatory and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict XVI.
"How can we exclude that life has developed elsewhere," he told the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano in an interview in its Tuesday-Wednesday edition, explaining that the large number of galaxies with their own planets made this possible. Asked if he was referring to beings similar to humans or even more evolved than humans, he said: "Certainly, in a universe this big you can’t exclude this hypothesis."
In this context, I want to put some interesting questions to the "learned" scientific adviser to the pope and to the pope himself (or, should I write "Himself"?) !1. Do these "extraterrestrial brothers" also believe the holy trinity and the church?
2. Has the "only son of God " went to different galaxies too, to perform his (or His) duty "of dying for their sins"?
3. How come the holy bible doesn't mention the universe as so big? or is it meant for the humble earth-citizens only?
4. Is their any possibility of sending the missionaries and the "holy pope" of course, to plant the cross across all the worlds as and when they become "known worlds"?
5. What if these "new worlds" have already got their own popes by the time they become known to us by the same God and His same only son? Is our pope satisfied with his jurisdiction then? What happens to his claim of being the Vicar of Christ then? Or does he want to become the "grand pope" of all the worlds to retain his title and, of course, rights and privileges?
Let the "good" adviser or his master answer!
