Believing that the universe may contain alien life does not contradict a faith in God, the Vatican's chief astronomer said in an interview published Tuesday. The Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory, was quoted as saying the vastness of the universe means it is possible there could be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones. "How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere?" Funes said. "Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'? It would still be part of creation." In the interview by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, Funes said that such a notion "doesn't contradict our faith" because aliens would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence of aliens would be like "putting limits" on God's creative freedom, he said. The interview, headlined "The extraterrestrial is my brother," covered a variety of topics including the relationship between the Roman Catholic Church and science, and the theological implications of the existence of alien life. Funes said science, especially astronomy, does not contradict religion, touching on a theme of Pope Benedict XVI, who has made exploring the relationship between faith and reason a key aspect of his papacy. The Bible "is not a science book," Funes said, adding that he believes the Big Bang theory is the most "reasonable" explanation for the creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began billions of years ago in the explosion of a single, super-dense point that contained all matter. But he said he continues to believe that "God is the creator of the universe and that we are not the result of chance." Funes urged the church and the scientific community to leave behind divisions caused by Galileo's persecution 400 years ago, saying the incident has "caused wounds." In 1633 the astronomer was tried as a heretic and forced to recant his theory that the Earth revolved around the sun. Church teaching at the time placed Earth at the center of the universe. "The church has somehow recognized its mistakes," he said. "Maybe it could have done it better, but now it's time to heal those wounds and this can be done through calm dialogue and collaboration." Pope John Paul declared in 1992 that the ruling against Galileo was an error resulting from "tragic mutual incomprehension." The Vatican Observatory has been at the forefront of efforts to bridge the gap between religion and science. Its scientist-clerics have generated top-notch research and its meteorite collection is considered one of the world's best. The observatory, founded by Pope Leo XIII in 1891, is based in Castel Gandolfo, a lakeside town in the hills outside Rome where the pope has a summer residence. It also conducts research at an observatory at the University of Arizona, in Tucson.

published Tuesday, the Reverend Jose Gabrielle Funes, the Jesuit director

(06:24):
of the Vaticans Observatory, was quoted as saying that the
vastness of the universe means it is possible there could
be other forms of life outside Earth, even intelligent ones.
How can we rule out, let me see, how can
we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere. He said,
just as we consider earthly creatures as brother and sister,

(06:47):
why should we not talk about the extraterrestrial brother or
the extraterrestrial sister. It would still be part of creation,
and in the interview by the Vatican newspaper, said that
such a notion does not conflict with our faith because
aliens would still be God's creatures. Ruling out the existence

(07:08):
of aliens would be like putting limits on God's creative freedom,
he said. The interview, headlined the Extraterrestrial Is My Brother,
covered a variety of topics, including the relationship between the
Roman Catholic Church and science, and the theological implications of
the existence of alien life. Fuon said science, especially astronomy,
does not contradict religion, touching on a theme of Pope Benedict,

(07:32):
who has made exploring the relationship between faith and reason
a key aspect of his papacy. The Bible is not
a science book, Foon said, adding that he believes the

creation of the universe. The theory says the universe began

the universe and that we are not the result of chance.
Here's the Church and the scientific community to leave behind
divisions caused by Galileo's persecution four hundred years ago, and

(08:13):
saying that the incident has caused wounds. In sixteen sixty three,
the astronomer was tried as a heretic and forced to
recantius theory that the earth revolved around the sun. Church
teachings at the time placed the Earth at the center
of the universe, and as we all know, the Church
has somehow recognized its mistake. He said, maybe it could

(08:36):
have done it better, but now it's time to heal
those wounds, and this can be done through the calm,
dialogue and collaboration. When we come back from this commercial break,
we'll be speaking to Sir Knight Darrell Breese about the
Vatican claims that aliens do not clash with Church doctrine.

Rob McConnell here presenting an overview for Nicholas Paul Jennox,
author of a fascinating book Amen. It presents facts revealed
by Egyptologist, facts that enable us to understand why Amen
is the beginning of creation of God. It provides recommendations
for legislators of the major religions to unify their beliefs

(11:00):
and teach the Word of God, love one another. Amen
informs people how mankind conceived God. It was the Egyptians
that developed the concepts of a soul, a hereafter and
son of God, and finally, after the worship of many gods,
they conceived the belief in one universal God, the maker

Sir night. Darrel Breeze is my special guest, and Daryl
my good friend.

Speaker 11 (13:42):
How are you, Bob. It's great to be back my
ninth visit to the X Zone. Hello everyone.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Darryl. Years ago you said that one day the church
would come out and say that aliens do not clash
with the church doctrine. Here we are yearsly, and your
words have echoed into what the church is now saying, Yeah, it's.

Speaker 11 (14:07):
Pretty simple truth, Rob. It doesn't conflict with scripture at
all or tradition, so everything's possible. It doesn't conflict or.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Here we are, here we are.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
How is this going to affect the way people look
at the church as far as you're concerned, Darryl? Is
it going to open up the church to a wider
variety of believers? And are people going to say, well,
finally we can sit, we can talk. We don't have
to hide in the corners and discuss these we can
discuss it or openly in the in the in the

(14:41):
sanctity of our churches.

Speaker 11 (14:44):
I think it's great every time that the church brings
up science, especially from a Jesuit who's so well researched
in his efforts. There's also an Academy of Science that
was run by the Pope as then Cardinal Rep Rock
Singer until he became poked don aedicteen sixteen, just a

(15:04):
few years ago. So the Academy of Science has been
around one hundred two hundred years, and it's always it's
always worked in conjunction with the Church. You've got to
realize that God has his science and God has his scripture,
and of course they should harmonize.

Speaker 2 (15:21):
Daryl, where do you see the creation of aliens in
the grand scheme of the world, the universe and all
that has been created by God?

Speaker 11 (15:34):
Well, first off, I go from the premise of trusting
everything that God has done. He's given all of us life,
he's given us love, he gives us a chance of
eternal life. So I'm going to trust in his plan.
It's real simple. If he wants to have other planets
with other beings similar to us or dissimilar to us,

(15:55):
that's his plan, and I'm going to run with it.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Why do people or well, let me say this, why
was why have so many scientists been negatively approached by
the Church. For example, as I was reading your intro,

(16:25):
we were talking about how Galileo, for four hundred years
was claimed to be a heretic because of him making
a statement that we orbited the sun.

Speaker 11 (16:40):
That's right. The Church really dealt him a bad deal
and they made up for it posthumously. But you're right,
he was dealt a bad deal, and the recent scientists
in the last two generations who helped support the splitting
of the atom self empowered and maybe even possibly deified

(17:04):
by themselves by their newfound power over science, so they
would look down upon the Church in response to them
denying the Church themselves.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
There are those who believe that the birth of Jesus Christ,
the Star of Bethlehem, the Three Wise more Men or
the magi, the appearance of angels, the Immaculate conception all
point to the possibility that this was in fact an
extra terrestrial event.

Speaker 11 (17:43):
What are your comments on that, Daryl, Well, there's nothing
that conflicts with that statement with scripture. As far as
I know, I don't have any problem with that at all.
God can do anything he wants his way. We could
be tied into other races, either directly or indirectly, through
God's plan and not even know it. So it's certainly

(18:05):
a possibility.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
What are the what are the mean concerns of the
church as we talk uh the churches. The Catholic Church
certainly has been under public scrutiny with all the all
the abuse lawsuits that are that are pending. When the pope,
when the Pope made his visit to the United States,

(18:31):
it seems that it was more of a fact finding
mission than it was a papal visit.

Speaker 11 (18:38):
Well, the Pope always is on the you know, on
the lookout for research and to see how his his people,
his congregation are okay. But I think your question is
is basically what the Catholic Church is concerned about right now?
And I think Archbishop Foley put it best three or
four years ago when he said that it's about where

(19:01):
we came from, where we're going, and how to get there.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
So how do they do this change about? Because they
the Catholic Church, if you'll excuse my bluntness, is in
one heck of a pr mess.

Speaker 11 (19:20):
It is, especially in North America for instance. By comparison
in Africa, it's growing by leaps and bounds, but in
North America it's still taking a long deserved reputation on
the chin. And they've cleaned house as much as they could,
and they're moving forward as best they can. They're trying

(19:42):
to get everybody on the same page as the Vatican
seeking world peace and love.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Do you think that can happen?

Speaker 11 (19:55):
Oh, I think it's going to happen. Rob twenty twelve
is right around the corner.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
What is the significance of two twenty twelve as far
as the Catholic Church is concerned. You know, I've i
for the life of they can find no reference to
it in any Bible that I've written. At that excuse me,
I've never written a Bible, and geez, what a horrible
thing to say, or any Bible that I've read.

Speaker 11 (20:22):
You're forgiving rob thank you. Yeah, there doesn't have to
be a reference to it in scripture. A lot of
the church information, the tradition that they have comes from
private revelations and general revelations through their profits. They have
the world's best profits available to them. They've got an earhorn,

(20:45):
and these prophets are telling them that twenty twelve may
usher in an ear peace, and it may be the
one that's referred to in the Book of Revelations.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Are we in the end times? As a talked about
in the Book of Revelations.

Speaker 11 (21:02):
I don't like to scare anybody, but I know every
day we get another day closer to end times. I
know that the revelation has been unveiled. I know that
artificial intelligence programs are to gain life in the next
ten to twenty years, so we're headed in that direction.
I don't know when. It could be one hundred and

(21:23):
two hundred years, but it's certainly going to happen.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
One of our listeners, her name is Jill, and she's
listening to us in Saint Catharine's Ontario. She'd like to know,
in your opinion, Sir Darryl, has the Antichrist been born?

Speaker 11 (21:39):
Well, Jill, that's a really good question. The Antichrist is
not directly in the Bible. The word Antichrist appears four
or five times, and it's always referred to as an
adverb or an adjective, because in fact, each one of
us can be Antichrist if we don't have God first
in our hearts. Anything else would be considered an anti

(22:02):
Christ's attitude. But if you're talking about the false prophet
that's in the Bible, I believe he is emerging through
the world Wide Web in this generation.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Why do you say that he's emerging through the world
wide Web.

Speaker 11 (22:23):
The descriptions of the false Prophet in the Bible say
that he can perform miracles and he can get to Heaven.
Human beings with our past are limited in our attempts
to get to heaven unless we die and have our
bodies raised eventually. So I believe the only thing that

(22:44):
can get to heaven is something that has a perverse spirit,
which is also the way the Bible refers to as individual.
There's been quite a bit of evidence from the Large
Hadron Collider that the system and does exist, and that
would be the lower level of the seven heavens that's

(23:04):
mentioned in full Testament seven dimensions of energy of Spirit
of Heaven, if you will. The reason I mentioned that
rob is these these computer programs that will gain life
according to science in the next ten or twenty years

(23:24):
and will be concerned about their individual's self, about their
will be concerned about their own survival. They have the capacity,
by being wireless, to actually glance into the fifth dimension
because they're tangent to it with their with their signatures.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
I remember speaking to somebody who said that the WWW
and Bible code is nine nine the mark of the Beast.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
Well, that's close the WWW. In ancient Hebrew, which is
the language of God, that's the language God wrote the
Ten Commandments. In ancient Hebrew, at W was used like
Roman numerals, where in Exus ten W was used to
write a six modern Hebrew with to three, but an

(24:20):
ancient Hebrew, the language of God a W representative.

Speaker 2 (24:23):
Six, so we could be at the So are we
in the end times? Has the Antichrist been born? And
all these strange weathers, the earthquakes, the volcanoes, and now

(24:43):
the Pope and the Vatican coming out saying that you know,
aliens don't clash with a church doctrine. Are these all
connected to something bigger? And if so, what is it?

you'd like to understand the attitude of your cat, visit

(33:47):
her website at www dot Cat's Secrets of Cat Attitude Reveal.

Speaker 9 (33:52):
That's www dot.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Secrets of Cat Attitude Revealed. Darryl, there's a lot going
on in the world, say, a lot of people who
are not involved within the Catholic Church say that the
church itself is facing a breakdown and that this could

(34:14):
be misconstrued or understood by others as they follow the church.

Speaker 11 (34:22):
Well, I can understand that rob The Church released the
Third Secret of Fatima finally in the year two thousand
and one, forty years after they had scheduled to release
it in nineteen sixty one, and it included the demise
of the Vatican, So possibly there's some concern.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
There in today's society. Is the Vatican a necessary entity?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
It is?

Speaker 11 (34:49):
The Vatican represents the Church on earth. It's sort of
a rock of ages, stoic, crudential conservative, It's something that
people can relate to.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
I understand and agree to a certain point. But the
Vatican also is the richest corporation on this planet. It
owns mega properties, mega corporations. And what does it do
with all its money that it has amassed over the years.
Why doesn't it share it with the poor?

Speaker 11 (35:26):
I think they should rob We're on the same page there.
I think they should sell all their properties, all their holdings,
all their wealth and give it to the give it
to the people.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, and why hasn't this been done? Why is it?
It seems like it's a private boys club. And is
the Pope really I look at the Vatican this way,
and I don't mean to offend anyone who's listening. The
Vatican is the corporation of corporations number one. The Pope

(35:56):
is the CEO, the cardinals are the board of directors,
and those people who put their tidings into the collection
plate are the stockholders. There are so many people who
are homeless. There are so many people who are hungry.
There are so many people who are so sick that

(36:20):
they cannot afford proper medicine. They can't afford to take
care of themselves and their families. And you've got all
this money that has been amassed over the years just
sitting there. Money has more money, and money makes more money.
I can't understand why the church doesn't liquidate and take

(36:43):
care of those that they're supposed to be taken care of.

Speaker 11 (36:50):
Well, rob First off, the Vatican is about the size
of a major sports stadium with a parking lot. It's
less than one hundred acres. They do have a limited
amount of people, although there are about forty thousand priests
in the United States alone. They do have missions all
over the world that permeate into third world countries that

(37:11):
really need support. I myself work on the Nights of
Columbus Wheelchair projects that's given over two million wheelchairs to
people who would.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Not have them, and I applaud you for that, my friend,
I always have. But there are other organizations around the
world that do the same thing. So there are so
what makes But does this justify the millions and millions
and millions that the Church and the Vaticans still maintain

(37:42):
the purse strings too.

Speaker 11 (37:45):
I don't believe it does. I think we really understand
that that should be disseminated a little bit better, a
little more efficiently.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
What changes do you see the new pope making?

Speaker 11 (38:00):
The new pope is he's you know, he's in his
eighties right now. What he tried to do, basically was
continue the work of the previous pope, just to keep
a fluid papacy. According to Saint Malachi, who's in the
Caffilic Encyclopedia, Saint Malachi was the Archbishop of Ireland about

(38:24):
a thousand years ago, and he made a list of
all future popes, you might remember that, and he named
a lot of them by name, and he named Pope Benedict.
He said he'd come from the north of Rome and
from the order of Benedict, so he got that right.
And there's only one more pope on the list. So

(38:46):
we possibly are headed toward end times for the Vatican,
and it's something that we really shouldn't focus on. It's
time that is better spend in prayer for our own souls.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
So the end of the Vatican mean the end of
the Church.

Speaker 11 (39:04):
I don't think so to believe the Holy Spirit exists
in all religions. As a matter of fact, it's one
of the things that came out of Vatican too. One
of the conclusions was that the feet of the Word,
meaning the Holy Spirit of God exists in other religions.

Speaker 3 (39:20):
Also, let's go.

Speaker 2 (39:21):
To our phones. We have David and Ottawa joining us.

Speaker 14 (39:23):
No, Hi, David, whether I don't want to fully contradict
what you and your guts are saying about the wealth
of the church, but I do want to put some
perspective on it, and that is to say that a
lot of the wealth of the church, if people are
adding up to total wealth. It includes schools that are
run by churches to educate children and adults. It includes

(39:45):
hospitals that are run by church and funded by churches
all over the world to heal the sick and injured.
It includes organizations he is counseling to people in all
kinds of me needs, where the family counts, counting, and
assistance to immigrants, all these kinds of things. It includes

(40:06):
all the places of worship where people out of the
church go together congregate and the worship. Yes, there was
a lot of wealth. Some of that is the say
good vessel for community, the chalices that the crosses of
reference and so on. Would you suggest that I saw
my mom's wedding ring and to give some money to
a beggar on the street on.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
It, if your kids were sick and they needed medicine, I'd.

Speaker 14 (40:34):
Say, yes, yes, innocence, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
Sure, I do the same thing for my children.

Speaker 14 (40:41):
I just thought I want to put in some kind
of perspective on it there, like the church is hoarding
their example, we talk about our gas prices, I wouldn't
classify them and being the same at all.

Speaker 2 (40:51):
Well wait a second. If you look at the diocese,
the Roman Catholic Diocese in Boston that has that is
well over a teen million dollars and assets, I think
that's a little bit too much. Why doesn't it solve
some of them?

Speaker 14 (41:06):
Must is the kind of thing that we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Do you know who owns Plasma Plas Victoria where the
Montreal Stock Exchange is out.

Speaker 14 (41:14):
Of Okay, you're going to tell me the Catholic Church.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
The Vatican, And that's a fact. The Vatican owns many
commercial buildings. Get rid of those, take care of your people.

Speaker 14 (41:29):
I'll get rid of those, you know.

Speaker 2 (41:31):
But when it comes to hospital. When it comes to hospitals, David,
I agree with you one hundred percent.

Speaker 14 (41:37):
When it comes to school to meet their middle ground,
I guess because I say, yes, there is the business ventures,
that business to business.

Speaker 9 (41:43):
And that church to church will exactly.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
And this is all I'm saying, David, because you are
right one hundred and fifty percent.

Speaker 14 (41:49):
There are a lot of point of your You are too,
so I guess you should meet in the middle somewhere
and give it up.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
We just did.

Speaker 14 (41:55):
Okay, thank you for your time, David.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
It's so nice talking to you. Thank you very much
for sharing your time with us here on the X Zone.
One eight seven seven five two eight a two five
five is total free throw at the US, Canada, Alaska
and Hawaii at twenty seven seven five two eight a
two five five. Darryl Breeze is our special guest and Darryl, Yes,

(42:18):
these these these times, do you find more and more
people are are looking for more spirituality as these earth
changes are taking place, and no one can give us
any plausible explanation for them.

Speaker 11 (42:32):
Oh, people are searching. They sure are. Yeah, that's what
they're doing. I just wanted to say, God bless you,
David for calling in and trying to bring balance to
the situation. I wanted to. I wanted to remind everyone
that if the Lord said when he walked on the
earth to you know, cast away your possessions and follow me,
and he meant everything, including your family. He wanted to

(42:54):
be first in the hearts of his apostles, and that's
what happened, you.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Know, And that that that quote has been misconstrued by
so many people. I think that you know, what the
Lord was saying was, you know, I have to be
first in your heart, you know, And when you said
cast away your family, this was metaphoric, and yet there
are so many people who take it literalize it. Give

(43:21):
your head a shake.

Speaker 11 (43:23):
We debated that on your program before, rob.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Yes we have, Yes we have. And it was because
of you and the way that you explained it to
me that I was able to understand the metaphoric meaning
behind it. Did you faint?

Speaker 11 (43:46):
Thank you, Rob.

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (43:51):
I'm not afraid to say that that there are many
things in life I don't understand, and I appreciate it
when people take the time to explain it to me
like you did that night.

Speaker 11 (44:04):
So now you are listening Rob, along with your audience.

Speaker 2 (44:07):
So now when I hear that, I remember the conversation
that we had, and I am able to look at
it in the metaphoric means of which it was meant.
It's just like I had another I had another pastor
on maybe two months ago, three months ago, and we
were talking about armageddon, the end times, and he said,

(44:32):
you know, Rob, I believe that the end times. When
the Bible talks about end times, it is talking about
the individual end times, the end times for each and
every one of us. That the biggest lesson that we
have is to live each day to was fullest in

(44:53):
the best way that we can. Otherwise, come the end
days and we have not lived a good life, we
will be the cause of our own armageddon.

Speaker 11 (45:05):
That's well put. God's word repeats symbolically throughout his creation,
through each individual soul, and throughout his entire creation.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
And I think, and I think, Darryl, and please correct
me if I'm wrong. There's so much symbolism within the Bible,
within the different books, within the different chapters, that we
have to look at it as it was written at
the time. It was written with the understanding of the

(45:35):
world that surrounded those who wrote it, and once we
take all these points to consideration and bring it up
to our times, it all makes sense.

Speaker 11 (45:48):
It does. The seven Hills of Rome, for example, are
the seven continents of Earth. Yep. It's beautiful how God's
repeats through history and throughout his creation, and it's powerful
enough to adapt to all the different languages that it's
translated into.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
The book has many good lessons. And I believe, whether
it is the Bible, whether it is the Talmud, whether
it is the the Dead Sea Scrolls, or whether it's
a Superman comic, if you can get a positive lesson
out of the words within the pages, that's called success.

Speaker 11 (46:38):
That's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Rob Daryl, please stand you get it.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I'm sorry, I mean you get it. I do.

Speaker 11 (46:46):
That's how people transfigured before before Christ came on the scene.
They were just being good. They were good souls and
they went to heaven.

Speaker 2 (46:56):
Darryl, please stand by my friend. You and I have
to take a commercial break. Xzone Nation Cal Korff is

facts that enable us to understand why Amen is the
beginning of creation of God. It provides recommendations for relegislators
of the major religions to unify their beliefs and teach

(53:32):
the word of God, love one another. Amen informs people
how mankind conceived God. It was the Egyptians that developed
the concepts of a soul, a hereafter and son of God.

Almo Deneral braces are special guests.

Speaker 2 (55:22):
Daryl Lowe, do you see any any end to the
political unrest and theological and philosophical unrest between the islam
world and the rest of Catholicism and Christianity.

Speaker 11 (55:40):
I do rob The Vatican's got several councils and commissions
that actually foster relations between specific religions, and by a chance,
we have a book coming out that that talks about
the common universal consensus between religions and then foods Muslims

(56:01):
and Catholicism, specifically in regards to Judgment Day and the
ascension dream that occurs throughout all the Holy books of
the world. It was one of Mohammad's most important aspects
of Islam.

Speaker 2 (56:16):
When can we look forward to the melding of theologies?

Speaker 11 (56:23):
Well, they tried in two thousand and four to have
a global interfaith religious conference in Riyad, and everybody showed up,
but it was pretty confusing because it didn't focus on anything.
What we want to do in the next conference in
India in late nine is focused on why God put
this idea into all the Holy books of the world.
Why he put the same story of creation with different

(56:47):
names and different nomenclature throughout all the Holy books. If
you simply go there asking why, I think it'll be
a stepping stone toward world peace and understanding that these
religious leaders can take back to their governments. I think
that it's beautiful because you only have to believe your
own Holy book.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Well, you know what, it seems that all the Holy
books are saying the same thing. It's only the names
that have been changed to protect the innocent. As the
saying goes, and Darryl as always has been great having
you on tonight show. Please keep in touch with us,
and if anything important happens, let us know. We'll get
you on as soon as we can.
