No, Tom, I’m not talking about you (though, as I think about it, you did have a strange attraction to telephones…)

I’m talking about the Vatican’s recent announcement that it’s ok to believe in extraterrestrials, you know, space aliens.

The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, noted that such a notion “doesn’t contradict our faith” because aliens would still be God’s creatures.  

Wow! I’ll bet our ‘other’ brothers in China and Myanmar wish they could be classifed as “extraterrestrials” by the Vatican so they could receive as much attention…
