Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth.

- JRR Tolkien, The Letters of JRR Tolkien

For the purposes of fiction I'd like your input on XenoCatholicism.

So say intelligent aliens come to earth and want to convert. Did the crucifixation of Jesus apply to all intelligent life or just humanity?

On the level of practice, how would we baptise a being that dissolves in water? I imagine holy water could be an issue as well.

For beings that could not ingest the body of christ, is the ritual of being around communion enough or would there have to be a different material to transubstantiate upon?

Thank you.

The major consensus is that only human beings may participate in the sacraments of the Church, but sentient life may convert to Catholicism.

The assumption is that if the alien life form has a soul and is in need of salvation, they would have their own Savior. That being would have their own version of the Eucharist.

Pope Francis has stated if aliens came down he would offer them communion. I do want to point out many people are in disagreement. Before the forum was shut down, Catholic Answers was constantly bombarded by fights when the topic inevitably came up.

In the event that aliens did come down to earth and received communion by the Pope, it would not be a problem for them to receive an alternative Host to consume. For example, people who have a gluten sensitivity are given gluten free hosts at Mass if requested in advance. There is also the option of spiritual communion. This was very common during the worst of the Covid lockdowns.

When we get to the baptism I can see how issues may arise. If this alien being was so hydrophobic to the point of death, I could see more arguments arising that aliens shouldn’t participate in these sacraments and should have their own specific to their biology and culture. Water is so connected to life for human beings.

Until aliens announce themselves on earth and make intentions to convert, I will try not to worry too much about it.

All Theology

Luke: [age 18] "One of my classes got into a discussion about the sacraments." Beth: [age 15] "The sacraments?" Luke: "Yeah, like communion, or baptism." Mom: "Or marriage." Luke: "Oh, I guess that's a big one." Mom: [to Beth] "A sacrament is a specific action or event that the church says has special spiritual value. Like taking communion to symbolize the sacrifice of Jesus. But different churches have different sacraments or think about them in different ways. The Catholics have a lot more sacraments than others." Beth: "OK. I know what those things are, I just didn't remember the word 'sacraments'." Me: "I still don't understand how Catholics think communion bread turns into the flesh of Jesus when you swallow it." Beth: "That's called something... trans something...." Me: "Transubstantiation." Beth: "I remember hearing about transubstantiation around the same time I first heard about genetic engineering. Somehow I got the picture in my head that God just manufactured more of Jesus." Luke: "That's one thing we talked about: If you added up all the flesh of Jesus that all the Catholics have eaten, how many bodies of Jesus is that?" Me: "Seems like a lot. According to Beth's theory, there are vats of genetically-grown Jesus somewhere. A big Jesus factory." Mom: "Years ago I had a conversation with a Catholic friend who believed in transubstantiation. They said it was different from my belief that the bread just symbolic, that it actually turns into the body of Jesus." Me: "Exactly at what point in the esophagus does it transform?" Mom: "Well, right. I asked when it changed, and they said it didn't. I said, so it's still bread when you digest it? No, they said, it's the body of Jesus. But it's still bread? Well, yes, physically it resembles bread but spiritually it's the body of Jesus. So how is that different from me believing it's symbolic? It just is, they said." Me: "So it's not literally flesh at any point?" Luke: "If it were, could vegetarian Catholics take communion?" Me: "It just feels like playing with words." Luke: "All theology feels like playing with words."
