The Catholic church, like all other religions, will fall apart in time and be replaced by universal truth, that which requires no converting, lying, scamming or manipulating, only logic and intelligence.

Here's a wild thought. Maybe if people someday live on Mars there will be a new religion. So there would be a new prophet or messiah. What I'm reaching for is that organized religions have their basis in earth related events.
The major religions might not travel well into space. For example, in Islam there is a waiting for a final Iman to come up out of a well. I don't think this was meant to be a well on Mars or beyond. The mysteries and teachings of the Catholic church are earth based. (I'm Catholic)

The Catholics have never been open minded about anything, and there's just too much information coming out of the Vatican lately about aliens.
Could it be they are willing participants in the supposed mass landing (phoney) that is supposed to scare the bejesus out of us and into the NWO?
There's a reason behind all this talk.
I smell a great big fish here also.
Why, for example would a Monsignor who specializes in demonology and exorcism for the Vatican be another one who has spoken out about aliens and UFOs? Just seems suspicious to me.
I too, think they may be preparing us for a fake invasion. I also suspect that UFOs and aliens aren't what we've been led to believe.

"Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a recently-retired theologian who specialized in demonology and exorcism for the Vatican, has appeared on Italian TV several times declaring that contact with extraterrestrials is real. He has stated these entities “are NOT demonic, they are NOT due to psychological impairment, they are NOT a case of entity attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied carefully.” (Emphasis in original.)
“Their existence can no longer be denied, for there is too much evidence for the existence of extra-terrestrials and flying saucers.” UFOs indicate that they might be more evolved than humanity, but would not challenge the core of Christianity, for Christ is still king of the universe. “This means that everything in the universe, including extra-terrestrials and UFOs are reconcilable with God.”

Now let us consider the other part of the question that if life does exist in other parts of the universe (micro organisms, bacteria etc) then how will its reckoning be on the Day of Judgment? The simple answer to this is that its reckoning will be in the same category as the animals. After which they will be turned back into soil. They will not need to bring even because of this. So even this does not contradict the Quran or Islamic teaching.
............
In conclusion, I will say that there are many things which are on Earth which we still have to discover and understand. New creatures are being found in the depths of the oceans and even in the mountainous regions of the world. If humans claim with fidelity to have found life on other planets then it will not go against Islam and if they do not then it still does not go against Islam. New things and creatures will always be discovered it is the wonder of Allahs limitless power.

question:
.....And, does the Quran rule out the possiblilit of Alien life? Or is it possible they exist?
answer:
The creation of Allah Taãla is very vast and beyond our comprehension. In every time and era scientists have made strange discoveries of the creation of Allah and they will continue to do so.
However, the research of the scientists will be exhausted yet they will never be able to conquer the reality of the creations of Allah, nor will they be able to discover even a fraction of the entire creation.
However, the creation of Allah is a manifestation of the Power of Allah.
Allah invites us to ponder upon His creation and understand His Power.
With regard to aliens and flying objects and dinasours, since the reality of these creations are not known, it is not possible to comment upon them.
For our belief, if there is reality in these creations, it should be seen as another manifestation of Allah's Power.
And Allah Taãla Knows Best.
