No Deus, no. First off Garbriel Funes was not speaking on behalf of the entire Vatican (that's what dope pope is for) when he was commenting on astrobiology.
Secondly, neither was he accepting the factual scientific findings of how life evolved on Earth, he only accepts the potential for life to originate and develop to resemble life on this planet without magic man *elsewhere in the universe*. He deliberately excludes Earth from the argument to bolster Roman Catholic supernatural beliefs, this fallacious approach that we've all heard a million times before is called special pleading.
Look it up.
