Stop the presses!
Hold on to your miters, yarmukles, veils or any religious headwear of choice.
The pope’s chief astronomer, Jose Gabriel Funes said the search for extraterrestrial life doesn’t contradict a belief in God, and believe it or not, he added that some extraterrestrials might even be innocent of original sin.
Heaving of collective sighs of relief from astronomers all over the world must have caused a few earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones and tornados.
All of this was revealed in an interview with Vatican mouthpiece Osservatore Roman.
Sounding more like a SNL skit and befitting the rambling utterances of Father Guido Sarducci, these revelations must have knocked off a few Vatican socks and sent miters a kilter.
Looks like Southern California’s illegal aliens aren’t the only ones getting special treatment.
So, if some extraterrestrials might be excused from original sin, how come Earthlings aren’t? None of us were there when Eve allegedly ate the forbidden fruit. Do the sins of the mother really have to be foisted on the children?
