Catholic Perspectives on Extraterrestrial Life: Creation, Incarnation, and Redemption
To the point
Catholic thinkers, including Christopher Baglow, Saint John Paul II, Brother Guy Consolmagno, Jesuit Father Richard D'Souza, and Father José Funes, say intelligent extraterrestrial life could fit within creation theology, may have a relationship with God and even be baptized upon request, that the Incarnation may be unique to Earth while redemption could extend beyond humanity, and that the Church should remain open to new science and adjust beliefs as evidence evolves.
