When Father Funes stated that life could have evolved on other planets as we know on Earth it is an admission that life can evolve as we know it evolved on Earth. Father Funes is well aware that life evolved on Earth when he's trying to draw a parallel to prove his statement.
Pedo pope is the head of the whole organisation correct? They can't even celebrate Mass in Churches designated as papal basilicas without his permission for fuck's sake. It's his job in Holy See to faithfully represent and advocate for the organization's positions, unless of course he nominates another in the Papal to speak on his behalf by reading his letters, or respond to certain annoying Catholic sex abuse cases at the diocesan and episcopal conference levels first.
This wasn't an Ecclesiastical response to the issue of accepting scientific facts relating to current bio-diversity and life evolving on Earth; this was Funes' own personal testimonial on his opinions of astrobiology.
Don't be so disingenuous Deus.
