I think so, but there are those who do not think the time is right. In my opinion, the United Nations would be a better place to announce ET visitation rather than hearing it from the Pope. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zalmoxis Posted October 3, 2016 #27 Share Posted October 3, 2016 I checked Google and couldn't find a follow up to this article. The alien announcement never came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obviousman Posted October 3, 2016 #28 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Regardless of the accuracy; I have some opinions. At first, it may seem better that the announcement of intelligent extraterrestrial life would be better originating from an agency such as the UN. On reflection however, I wonder of such an announcement would be better originating from the "Church". As an atheist, it makes little difference to me. On the other hand it may be more easily accepted if it came from an "authoritative" source, Perhaps it would make a transition easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviousman Posted October 3, 2016 #30 Share Posted October 3, 2016 From a world which does not officially acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrial life to one that does. For a lot of people it is a given. Some people would fear such a change.... unless it were "officially" sanctioned by their chosen religion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxey Posted October 3, 2016 #32 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Is the Pope going to make ET announcement? "I love ET, especially that bit when he is in Elliot's basket", announces Pope Francis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An announcement that we have found signals that are definitely from another intelligent civilisation many light years away is very different from a government official saying "On my right, I'd like to introduce Znxstl from the planet ZZ9 Plural Alpha".
