The "Cosmic Cliffs" of the Carina Nebula are seen in an image released by NASA released July 12, 2022. The "cliffs" are divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. The image is from data provided by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, a revolutionary apparatus designed to peer through the cosmos to the dawn of the universe. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. (CNS photo/NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team, Handout via Reuters)

Paul Thigpen

Is there intelligent extraterrestrial life elsewhere in the universe? And if there is, what do the Catholic Church, Scripture and theology have to say about it?

Catholic Review Associate Publisher Christopher Gunty talks with author and theologian Dr. Paul Thigpen about his new book, “Extraterrestrial Terrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith: Are We Alone in the Universe with God and the Angels?” The book takes a deep dive into Catholic scholars throughout history and their comments on the topic. Thigpen, a former atheist, talks about how his journey to Christianity and then to the Catholic faith shaped his views on the question.
