Looking to the Heavens

" Fact the political left succeed 198185820. Look at losing here on the floor tells investigators she was born. Well we could not talk life and other planets about the classic -- right there interestingly the VATICAN. Just finishing up this the VATICAN now. A five day conference on aliens. Father Jonathan Morris Fox News contributor back with us about your money PM what a great movie anyway it was a wonderful movie Drew Barrymore off she went. I did the VATICAN five -- life."

" You know what it's sensationalism to get that question sounds it's really not that far off from what we've seen in the news. Over these last days the pictures up. Might have been Pope Benedict standing on that the roof of the Sistine Chapel looking for UFO's that's that's the type of images that this news conjures up. What is exceptional. What is exceptional is that the VATICAN was taking -- seriously. What civilians might tell us about the possibility. Of extra terrestrial intelligent life forms. That's what the conferences about I can't tell you that the VATICAN had found any alien -- I don't think that's what they're looking for but."

" Been working -- and you know these -- the history just like we'd gotten that come along way since Galileo for 500 years ago. What what do you think it's as about the church and it's it is actually looking at this issue."

" Well a great question bill what it says is that although there have been some in glorious moments. It's."

" Relationship both faith and science the VATICAN and not just Catholics Christians in general that brought thirty. Of the best scientists that Astro biologist -- the cosmology is that the astronomy test to tell the philosophers and -- theologians. What they already know about the possibility. Of something that could happen. Now what they're trying to do is get out. The story data ahead and say what if we were to find. Life outside the plant what does that tell us about the the doctrine of original sin of adamant he and the point here is that. We have to allow science to lead us and what is their field without going into with ideologies. I know that god does."

" I think that's a great point now you as a Roman Catholic priest. You're open to sciences what you're saying correct without -- yeah open and I only -- they'll -- to respect science and its own feel or how would it change the church's teaching that. When you if you consider for a moment if you determined that there is extraterrestrial life there. Well one thing would be fascinating would be not only extraterrestrial life but if -- extra terrestrial."

" Intelligent life forms. That would definitely make us go back and say. Maybe our understanding. Of perennial truth needs to be updated now the way to look at is best. It's not about whether or not god was the -- later whether but rather how he created it's not a question of what their original sin that's -- story is sure not let our understanding of how that. Played out so it's in its. Growing in our understanding of perennial."

" I think that's an interesting explanation there and I think also if it were determined father."

" That would be an earthquake would it not in church teaching it would be and especially. If by the VATICAN were -- involved in accepting that I think. We we have to. Make sure that science is not -- in some way ideologically driven we have to make sure that faith and religion is not ideologically."

" I'm driven. Faith and reason they go together or you're -- very well in this segment here and I know that have a conference when they determine something if they do. Come on back and let it or by keeping up tonight. Thank you phone home Galileo is yours just for right I feel like half suddenly had either he'd like -- PCs."

" you -- yeah. Right thing."
