Vatican says aliens could exist (some even free from original sin).

Writing in the Vatican newspaper, the astronomer, Father Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space.  The official Vatican newspaper headlines his article 'Aliens Are My Brother'.  The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God. Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God. And some aliens could even be free from original sin, he speculates.

The picture does not represent an alien free from original sin – just a random alien.  Link.
