Entertaining question, of course but we both know he was joking at best and hypothesising at worst. And don't tell me he wasn't tongue-in-cheek when he said they might be closer to God than us. Could he have been thinking that God lives "up there" somewhere?
No wonder he's grinning. He gotcha!
Maybe these aren't skills but they would be lacking common sense and reality.
They're not lacking skills so much as lacking brains!
I would bet that any extra-terrestrial life would study our history before making contact ... So they would know the Catholic Church's history of being the vanguard for invasions, conquests, and atrocities ... And likely want nothing to do with Catholic "missionaries".

Life that can zoom to and from this planet is going to be far superior to us. It's understanding will supercede any human. Still, the Vatican has a giant observatory with some of the most advance technology, so the Pope will probably be the first to know. The Large Binocular Telescope is called L.U.C.I.F.E.R an acronym for Large Binocular Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for Extragalactic Research. Not controversial at all O_O
