Father Francis J. Connell, dean of Catholic University's School of Sacred
Theology, summarizes the Church's position on the question of invaaers
from outer space. Theologically speaking, outer space dwellers might
fall into four principal classes: (1) they might have received a super-
natural destiny from God; (2) God could have created them with a natural
but eternal destiny; (3) they might be rational beings who si1U1ed against
God but were never given the .:hance to regain grace; and (4) they might
have received supernatural gifts and kept them, leading the paradisical
existence of Adam and Eve before they ate the forbidden fruit.

257-260.
After briefly reviewing what is known and what is speculated about flying
saucers, the author says it does not appear that interplanetary or inter-
stellar or j1!ter-galaxial communication could ha\'e any effect on the genuine
religious fundamentals. He believes the vision o! the being of God would be
magnified and that the prospect of human brotherhood on a cosmic scale
never before conceived would uplift us from all petty world-parochial
qllarrels.
