what is the catholic church's view on aliens? Do they have souls?(that is, if for example we have proven that aliens do exist)

There was a pretty short, but good answer from the ewtn website stating that the church has no position on this subject. Check it out at: http://www.ewtn.com/vexperts/showresult.asp? RecNum=320678&Forums=0&Experts=0&Days=3000&Author=&Keyword=aliens&pgnu =1&groupnum=0

Also this same website had something that might interest you concerning the souls of aliens, if they were found to exist some day (but we don't know if they do exist or not): http://www.ewtn.com/vexperts/showresult.asp? RecNum=298156&Forums=0&Experts=0&Days=3000&Author=&Keyword=aliens&pgnu =1&groupnum=0 It just says that if they were proven to exist, and if they were human like us, than the story of salvation and redemption would apply to them too.

If you do go to these links be sure to make sure that there are no spaces in the address, otherwise you won't get there. They were just so long, and so I had trouble putting them on the first message I sent to you.
