“Innumerable suns exist! Innumerable earths circle around their suns, no worse and no less inhabited than this globe of ours. For no reasonable mind can assume that heavenly bodies that may be far more magnificent than ours would not bear upon them creatures similar or even superior to those upon our human Earth.”Giordano Bruno was "burned at the stake by Church Bishops for teachings against the Church" in February of 1600. This recent news from the Vatican reflects the magnitude of change since Giordano died in the name of science (see "Vatican priest"). It reflects an open-minded, honest approach to the subject of UFOs and extraterrestrial life; they've come along way since since the 17th century AD.

Thanks to Scott Corrales:
Jesuit Astrophysicist Claims: "They Exist and are Our Brothers - Rome,
June13 --(EFE)-- Argentinean Jesuit Jose Funes, an astrophysicist and
theologian participating in an international congress on "galactic
spheres" being held in Rome, believes that "extraterrestrials exist and
are our brothers."
"In a typical galaxy there can exist a multiplicity of planets similar
to our Earth, and with living beings like ourselves. If
it is as I beleive, they must be considered our brothers in creation,"
explains Funes, 36, and one of the youngest
participants in the conference held by the Vatican Observatory. The
conference gathers over 250 specialists who are debating the galaxies
populating the universe at the Pontificial Gregorian University in the
Italian capital, and cover everything from the Big Bang and the eventual
existence of extraterrestrial cultures.
"I believe that there are only primitive life forms in the other planets
of our solar system, such as bacteria and viruses,"
explains Funes in the Italian newspaper "Corriere della Sera".
To the Argentinean Jesuit "evolved civilizations are more remote and
invisible and unattainable for now, such as angels, who are also our
brothers," he adds.

To Christopher Montgomery, Yogibear, R. Bolylan and others: here a brief
translation; I shall do another more extensive.
To Fred Dennis, ufonet. I’m not a priest; I’m an UFO researcher, one of
the most ruthless Vs cover up (f.e. Roswell); you can visit my personal
Home Page ~http://members.tripod.com/~ufocun/lissoni.html about the
Russian-American-Italian Cover up, about the Stasi UFO files etc... I’m
not fanatic or paranoic and my studies are always pondered and
documented (for example, the Fascist UFO files, about a secret Italian
commission to study the UFO phenomenon in Italy in 1933; it proves that
Unofficial Ufology was borned in Italy, not in U.S.A... I’ve showed it
at recent International Ufological Simposyum in S.Marino.).
I was the general secretary of Italy’s National UFO Center
( the most serious ufological research group
in Italy, since 1965. I was a librarian and now I work as journalist -
editor in chief of the misteries magazine ‘Oltre la conoscenza’ - Beyond
the knowledge -, the Italian version of spanish ‘Mas Alla’;
I’m also editor of the most
widespread Italian ufological E-zine, ‘La Rete’,
I’m not a priest, but I’ve
- as teacher - permission to the teach Catholic Religion; and I study
all the connections between UFOs and Religions.
Best wishes

"'L'astrofisico del Vaticano: <<'Gli extraterrestri esistono e sono nostri fratelli>>
"'ROMA: Dalle galassie alle civilta extraterrestri il passo e' breve.'In una
tipica galassia, un ammasso di almeno cento miliardi di stelle, ci
potreberro essere moltitudini di pianeti gemelli della Terra, con esseri
viventi come noi. Se, come io credo, essi esistono, possono essere considerati
fratelli della creazione.' Detta da uno scienziato, una frase del genere non
stupirebbe piu. Ma quando a sostenere la 'pluralita dei mondi e un gesuita
con due lauree, in astrofisica e in teologia, allora si ha una misura del cambia-
mento della. Chiesa respetto a idee fino a qualche secolol fa considerate eretiche.
Padre Jose Funes, un gesuita argentino di 36 anni, e uno dei piu giovani
partecipanti al convegno internazionale sui 'dischi galattica,' organizzato
dalla Specola Vaticanna nella Pontificia Universita Gregoriana. Per cinque
giorni, 250 astrofisici discutono come sono nate e si sono evolute queste
isole stellari che popolano l'universo visibile. Ma, al di la del tema specifico
del convegno, le discussioni spaziano dal Big Bang alle civilta extraterrestri.
Dove potrebbero albergare le forme di vita evolute? 'Io penso che negli
altri pianeti del sistema solare esistono solo forme molto primitive, come batteri
o virus. Le civilta evolute sono lontane, per ora invisibili e irraggiungibili ,
come gli angeli, anche essi fratelli della creazione.'
"Sul fronte dei progressi della ricerca scientifica, il professor Franceso
Bertola, dell'universita di Padova, organizzatore del convegno e maestro di padre
Funes, riferisce come stia cambiando la geografia del l'universo grazie ai
risultati del telescopio spaziale. 'Prima potevamo osservare solo galassie fino a
un miliardo di anni luce. Ora ci possiamo spingere fino a 12 miliardo di
anni luce e sudiare quindi quelle piu giovani, che si sono formate poco dopo il Big
Bang. Questo ci aiutera a capire come evolvono queste fondamentali strutture
dell'universo e a risolvere alcuni problemi ancora asperti come quello della materia oscura.'" -Franco Foresta Martin
