Vatican: Space Aliens Might Actually Exist

From WorldNet Daily:

'This is not in contradiction with our faith, because we cannot establish limits on God' Believing that there are little green men who one day will land on earth does not contradict Catholic doctrine, according to the chief of the Vatican's Observatory.

Fr. Jose Gabriel Funes told L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican daily, that such extraterrestrial life "is possible, even if until now, we have no proof. But certainly in such a big universe this hypothesis cannot be excluded," he told the newspaper.

Editor's note: 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?

Luke 21:10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
