If Catholics believe there are aliens, do they believe God created these aliens too?
And if these aliens ever did contact us, and said they didn't believe they were created by God but had some other belief, would Catholics say the aliens were wrong?

Obviously, I can only speak for myself and as I've stated I'm not a "good" Catholic, but my answer to you is as follows:
1. I don't know if God created aliens - or if aliens created God for that matter.
2. Nothing would enlighten me more than a theological discussion with aliens. And I would never say the aliens are wrong. Just as when I've had discussions with my friends from other religious backgrounds I completely enjoy learning about their doctrine etc. and I get a lot out of it. Does it make me question my own beliefs? No. Do I think they are wrong? No.
Call me the bad Catholic fence sitter...I just believe in "Live and Let Live".

Well that's good. Someday they will admit to evolution as well.
Why would they since evolution is still just a THEORY.

I'd say this is bad news for all humanity because I trust the Vatican about as far as I could throw St. Peter's Basillica. If you're afraid of a grand deception regarding aliens and their true origins, this is proof that it's going to be spun for mass consumption and mass deception.
This would lead me to believe that what is being passed off as aliens from outer space may very well be demonic/extra-dimensional in nature. Watch yourself!
