Astronomers at the Vatican Observatory are keeping an eye out for aliens.

Surprisingly, they're not offended by the idea.

According to Father Gabriel Funes, the current director of the Vatican Observatory, belief in extraterrestrial life does not go against God since God has the ability to create a vast array of beings. Father Funes also thinks that some aliens may be "free from original sin' - a surprisingly nonsensical statement coming from a professional astronomer.
