The new president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation has said that it is only a matter of time before alien life forms are discovered, which will pave the way to questions about God’s relationship to intelligent beings outside our planet. Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno speculated that the general public will not be too surprised when life on other planets is eventually discovered, and will react in much the same way it did when news broke in the ’90s that there are other planets orbiting far off stars. www.cosmosup.com/vatican-astronomer-theres-life-out-there

Yes, it's nice to see that the Vatican even allows it's own representatives to have an open mind, rather than be burnt at the stake for having alternate views.
I agree with what he says about what people will say when other lifeforms are eventually found. Most people will just say "yeah, we knew that".
Alien life is almost expected these days, not thought of as a Sci-Fi dream or joke. The public is ready to accept news of Alien lifeforms without too much shock.
