RADIO INTERVIEW: Extraterrestrial Intelligence and the Catholic Faith

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.
