The influence of the salvific mysteries of Jesus Christ on intelligent life in the universe

Abstract

The more and more common research of space became the impetus to take up the issue indicated in the title. The largest organizations that deal with the study of the universe as such with increasing intensity search for viable planets, and thus also a life that can also develop in other hinterlands of space. The more we discover Earth-like exoplanets orbiting their stars in the so-called ecosphere, the more we ask about possible inhabitants of these planets.

This topic is by no means new in the Church, as it was undertaken with different results and at different times, while others, such as St. Padre Pio casually referred to the indicated topic. The logical consequence of the conducted research questions about the faith of these aliens. Are they persons? Have they committed original sin? Is Jesus crucified and risen as their savior, or did their redemption takes place differently?

There is no clear answer to the questions posed, and so far there can be no clear answer, but it does not mean that we should not look for answers to them. One of the tasks of every human being, regardless of the views, ethnic and cultural differences presented, is to seek the truth. This is what this article is about.
