While many fundamentalists Churches and religions cower in fear and attack the concept of extraterrestrial life contacting humanity as 👹, The Catholic Church looks on Mankind's first contact as anything but threatening.
Despite having no official position on the existence of aliens, many priests who work in the Vatican have come out and stated that such beings are real and not demonic as some other Christian groups and leaders have claimed.
Among those working for the Vatican who were most outspoken about the existence of alien life, their continued contacts with humans, and the fact that these beings are not demonic was the late theologian and exorcist, Monsignor Corrado Balducci.
As far back as the 1990s, Monsignor Balducci appeared on Italian television and openly declared his views on alien life as well as the fact that revealing the existence of such life to humans wouldn't endanger the Catholic Faith or Christianity in general.
Several others at the Vatican, especially those working for its observatory, state that they believe ETs are real, may have been visiting Mankind since Biblical times, and are even "our space brothers".

Even more astonishingly, the personal secretary to Pope (now Saint) John XXIII related that in the early 60s, Pope John was visited by a tall Nordic being who landed a flying saucer in the Vatican Gardens.
This story first appeared in the Argentine newspaper, "Diario Popular" back in 2014.

There are even reports that the beginnings of the Vatican's contact with Extraterrestrials go back to the reign of Pope Pius XII when an American cardinal was granted permission to participate in a top-secret meeting between the U.S. Government and Alien beings.

These events concerning the Catholic Church's investigation (contact) with ETs go back well before the current Pope took office so no one can claim they are in any way part of his policies.
Just as the Catholic Church was at the forefront of discovery and conversion in the New World, perhaps so too does the Vatican hope to be at the forefront of these things when finally contact is openly established and Man begins his journey towards the stars.

This chart doesn't mean that all 68 million Nones from that era weren't baptized or brought up in a church, only that by that time, they were unaffiliated.
Periods, where many Americans dropped out of organized religion aren't a new phenomenon though.
A century ago, Mussolini ordered his Fascist legions to begin their March on Rome, an event that would lead to his seizure of power over Italy. His rule over the country would last for over two decades.
