Pope Francis says he would baptise aliens: 'The doors of the Catholic Church are open to everyone'

GFP: I don't think he's going to have much success spreading Catholicism to the stars, but it's good to see the Pope is preaching acceptance and sparking people's imaginations.

Pope Francis has said that he would be willing to baptise aliens if they came to the Vatican, asking “who are we to close doors” to anyone - even Martians.

In a homily yesterday dedicated to the concepts of acceptance and inclusion, Francis recalled a Bible story about the conversion of the first pagans to Christianity, according to reports on Vatican Radio.

He said Catholicism was a church of “open doors”, and that it was up to Christians to accept the Holy Spirit however “unthinkable” and “unimaginable” it appeared.

Open Doors

Well "it's a breath of fresh air" for sure, relatively speaking as you did,  to their sordid and nefarious makeup.  If an alien were to take him up on the offer, earth wars would proliferate into space!  

I'm thinking that the only way a pope could ever rectify matters would be to shed the costume and make a public declaration that its always been BS because we are Collectively All truly the One, aka God..  Of course then damage control would move in.. lol

 

Love and Peace,

    He can try and baptized some aliens if he wants to, but the Vorlon come with their own intermittent auto-wipers. And others may have electrical issues. Is there such a thing as dry-baptisms?
