400 YEARS after tossing Galileo in a prison cell in the hope that he would sober up and stop dribbling rubbish about planets and stuff, the Catholic church has changed its tune on aliens. Padre Jose Funes, who owns a telescope and also has those glow in the dark stars stuck to his bedroom roof, reckons that Jesus' old man might not have called it quits after creating Earth and its inhabitants.
The Vatican has said that there is no clash between believing Catholic doctrine and believing in the possibility of alien life, presumably because neither has ever been proven to exist but still makes for a pretty good story.
An actual astronomer responded by telling the Vatican to "keep your wandering hands off science, perverts."
