What Does the Vatican Know About Extraterrestial Life?

In response to WorldNet Daily's article Vatican: Space Aliens Might Actually Exist, this blog asked the following questions back on May 13, 2008:

Is it a coincidence that the Vatican press release comes before the Mars landing of the NASA Phoenix probe on May 25, 2008? One of the three Phoenix mission objectives is to answer the question: "Can the Martian Artic Support Life?"

Why has the Vatican been operating an observatory? Is it a coincidence that the University of Arizona is partnered with NASA Phoenix mission and has also been hosting the Vatican Observatory Research Group?

As one of the world's oldest astronomical research organizations, is the Vatican aware of some kind of discovery announcement on the horizon?


Tom Horn is also challenging the Vatican's motives in his commentary ...


Horn highlights the recent history of the Vatican's interest in Extraterrestrial life:
  • "...there is a certain possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and that such notion "doesn't contradict our faith." -Vatican chief astronomer Father Jose Gabriel Funes, May 2008
  • "...chances are better than not that mankind is facing a future discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence". Intelligent Life in the Universe, Vatican astronomer, Guy Consolmagno 2005
  • 2001- Monsignor Corrado Balducci said ETs were actually already interacting with earth and that some of the Vatican's leaders were aware of it.
  • 1997- "Because the mentality... amongst those who [are] at the... highest levels of Vatican administration and geopolitics, know that, now, knowledge of what's going on in space, and what's approaching us, could be of great import in the next five years, ten years."- Father Malachi Martin, retired professor of the Pontifical Biblical Institute. Martin was uniquely qualified to hold in secret, information pertaining to the Vatican's Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT) project at the Mount Graham International Observatory (MGIO) in Arizona.

  1. Breitling Bentley
    were originally designed for aviation pilot and some of the very technical functions they employ, have in fact turned out to be what has made them some of the most coveted watches today. Breitling Windrider
    , named after Montbrillant Datora
    , who founded his company in 1884 in Switzerland, have over the years become one of the top luxury watch brands, even though luxury was not what initially drove their creation. Since Breitling Avenger
    really are made for men (there are a few women's watches), it's mostly male celebrities that have taken to toting them around their wrists.
