Nope. The Catholic Church doesn't teach that there is no life on other planets.

Remember when Galileo followed the teachings of Copernicus (that the Sun was the center of the galaxy and the Earth revolved around the Sun) he was imprisoned by the Catholic Church and later executed for his beliefs. So why the hell would you care what a bunch of blind liars would say. As long as it does not benefit the church, they are against it. Religion can be helpful in moderation, but dont base your life on theory. No one know the truth.....

No.
There is no official Catholic teaching about aliens.
One interesting suggestion is that aliens have never disobeyed God, committed Original Sin and therefore do not require salvation.
God keeps them away from us for their own protection. This is why we only see glimpses of them (UFOs) but no real contact can be made.
Just a suggestion.
It would be interesting if they had a seven day week.
With love in Christ.

by using fact once you have an alien invasion the top alien dies for you. How would desire to he be an alien? He replaced into born on the earth, wasn't he? i'm particular you does not choose to be called an alien once you tried to maintain somebody's existence. What a shame. i did no longer get 0.5 way via this question i could no longer end examining something. If his kingdom is of yet another international, why might he would desire to "take over" this international. How can people be so disrespectful to Jesus? all and sundry think of roughly is them and their merry little lives. How self-standard to even ask a question like that. fairly the question would desire to be: Is Obama an alien invasion? He "claims to born in Hawaii" yet no on is acquainted with for particular. Obama and all of his claims to strengthen our united states. i've got seen no progression in any respect and better gas expenses, helps abortion, and lies approximately improving it. would desire to this be an invasion? he's making an attempt to wipe out our united states. that is all component to his plan to take over the international. that is approximately how stupid your question sounds.

Well it depends, do you believe in Aliens like you believe in God? Or do you believe there are Aliens? If you believe there are Aliens then ok you have just joined a large percent of the Earths population, in thinking that there are Aliens out there. But if you are worshiping them then that's a problem.

(Our awareness of) the existence of intelligent life on other planets has no bearing on the the nature of God's absolute Truth. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with believing intelligent life on other planets exists - so long as this belief does not cloud your judgement/interpretation of Church beliefs and practices.

Well, just remember that believing that the sun orbited the earth used to be 'against god.' And we know how that worked out don't we?

No it just means that you are open to the possibility that there are other lifeforms out there and not close-minded in thinking that we are the only being in this vast universe.

I have been Catholic for 60 years and never once heard aliens addressed. Do you have a specific reference or are you just spewing?
