Pope Francis says he would baptise aliens:

'Who are we to close doors?'

Pope Francis has said that he would be willing to baptise aliens if they came to the Vatican asking “who are we to close doors” to anyone - even Martians.

“If for example tomorrow an expedition of Martians came to us here and one said ‘I want to be baptised!’ what would happen?”

Clarifying that he really was talking about aliens the Pope said:

“Martians, right? Green with long noses and big ears like in children’s drawings.”
