UMA COISA LEVA A OUTRA E, QUANDO DAMOS POR ISSO, ESTAMOS "2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME" EM PLENA E GLORIOSA TEOLOGIA SCI-FI


The Rolling Stones - "2000 Light Years From Home"

Vatican ponders baptism of extraterrestrials: "A pocket-sized book published by the Catholic Truth Society in the UK addresses Catholic attitudes to extraterrestrial life.

Independent Catholic News reports that with increasing numbers of people believing not only in the possibility of intelligent life on other planets, but even claiming encounters with aliens, it is not surprising that the Catholic Church is beginning to explore what effect the discovery of sentient ETs might have on Christian theology.



In Intelligent Life in the Universe? Catholic belief and the search for extraterrestrial intelligent life, author Guy Consolmagno SJ, asks:

- Would humans recognise intelligent life if we saw it?
- Could we communicate with it? Should we even try?
- Is Original Sin something that affects all intelligent beings?



- Is Jesus Christ's redemption valid for intelligent beings throughout the universe? or would other worlds have their own version of Jesus?
- Would the Church send missionaries to ET planets?
".

Amen.
