The Vatican and Aliens

Not long ago the Vatican made news because the Vatican astronomer had the audacity to suggest that aliens on other planets could be God's children too. It was ironic to read this just as I was releasing my novel, "Aliens Are God's Children Too" -- ISBN #978-0-615-18898-0. It seems absurdly arrogant for humans to believe that they are the only sentient species in the universe. Christians and Jews believe God created all of matter, energy, space, and time, so it would seem logical that God would create other sentient species on other planets that are loved as much as God loves humans.
