Vatican II
Pope John XXIII called the Vatican II Council.
There is no one "true" church according to the Bible. The Bible teaches that there is one body of Christ, made up of all believers in Jesus Christ, regardless of their particular denomination or church affiliation. Imitating the Christians' way of life and belief is not Biblically sound. The Bible teaches that each believer is to follow Christ's example and be filled with the Holy Spirit. The true, original church is the one that Jesus founded, which was composed of all believers in him. According to the Bible, the true church is the church that follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. This church is characterized by its love for God and its love for others. It is a church that is committed to living out the gospel in its daily life. This church is also characterized by its willingness to suffer for the sake of the gospel. Restoration Church of South Wichita has all of these things to offer. Become a member now!
Pope John XXIII's legacy successfully convened a Second Vatican Council that brought about reforms in church life, liturgy and theology. The Catholic church resolved to cooperate with Christians from other denominations.
Essentially- there is no theological objection to intelligent life on other worlds. It does not violate any current or proposed church doctrine..Catholic AnswerThe short answer to your question is" There was no 2008 Vatican statement regarding space aliens." Officially, the "Vatican", as in the Holy Father, has made NO comment one way or the other about extraterrestrial life. Attached is a news article from examiner.com which is very misleading as it uses the term "The Vatican" and even has two pictures of the Holy Father at the top of it, while in the article they are talking about scientists' discussions at a meeting sponsored by a Vatican employee (the director of the Vatican Observatory) on the implications of possible life in outerspace. This is a far cry from the Church actually teaching anything whatsoever about "space aliens". Many of the scientists (many of them nonbelievers) did indeed offer all kinds of speculation, but a "nonbeliever" offering "speculation" at a Vatican sponsored meeting hardly amounts to a "Vatican statement". In other words, the short answer to your question is" There was no 2008 Vatican statement regarding space aliens."

The church played a huge part in the colonial Delaware's life. The reason why people during those times learned how to read was because they were obliged to read the bible.
