PDF versionVatican conference discusses extraterrestrial life and its implications for Catholic theology
by Rich Heffern on Nov. 11, 2009
Four hundred years after it put astronomer Galileo under house arrest for challenging the view that the Earth was the center of the universe, the Vatican has called in experts to study the possibility of extraterrestrial life and its implications, if discovered, for the Catholic church.
"The questions of life's origins and of whether life exists elsewhere in our universe are very suitable and deserve serious consideration," said Jesuit Fr. Jose Gabriel Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory. Funes presented the results Nov. 10 of a five-day conference that gathered astronomers, physicists, biologists and other experts to discuss the new field of astrobiology -- the study of the origin of life and its existence elsewhere in the universe.

As an ex special ops 1st
As an ex special ops 1st battalion,everyone who is and has viewed this page needs to really take the time to research what you have been told here. Though I am under special oath not to speak about what programs I was involved in during my time in the military, this I can tell you, the world is in for a very big announcement and very soon. The vatican has been involved in and worked with the U.N. for many many years on a way to break this news because they know the classified info and have to find a way to keep moving forward knowing that the current theology is all wrong and half truths. Americans especially BEWARE,target1 is aimed at the most revolutionary group of people on the earth. Americans. They know we will not concede and falter in our faith whether or not we learn more about our universe than we could ever imagine. They are prepping you for the news now.Take caution and don't assume anyone is looking out for humanities well being.All I can tell you as for secret intel, dim 5 has no friendlies. DO NOT believe in false christ or prophets or any man for that matter. You will know christ when he returns, believe me!!!!!!!!
