It is not "my preferred version" at all. Nothing in Catholicism says that alien life would be contrary to our faith. I have never even heard of that. If you want to claim otherwise, then please provide official Church documents stating such.
As for other Christian denominations, I can't speak for them but I can say that I have never heard of any Christian I know say anything against alien life. Not saying those people don't exist, but they are definitely not in the majority. I had never even heard of the notion of Christianity being against aliens until I heard it from atheists on this forum.
To start this thread and act as though religion is against alien life is a misrepresentation and also very ignorant.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
