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.
Everybody's religion is a collection of those things they choose to believe from the general collection of items owned by that religion.
