Pope reaches out to martians


Pope Francis says if martians came to earth he would baptise them if they wanted to be Catholic.

The pontiff made the interplanetary approach during a speech during mass at Casa Santa Marta in the Vatican City to highlight how there were no closed doors to the Holy Spirit, Vatican Radio reported...

..."If - for example - tomorrow an expedition of Martians came, and some of them came to us, here... Martians, right? Green, with that long nose and big ears, just like children paint them... And one says, 'But I want to be baptised!' What would happen?"

Pope Francis said he would not be one to turn away someone seeking baptism - even if they were an alien...

It was a joke.  You do know what jokes are don't you?

A joke with a message behind it though.  He was making the point that no one should be denied entry into the church for any reason whatsoever.

Sure God created man before woman. But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.
