"Official church guidelines for dealing with extraterrestrials." has certainly got to be incorrect. 137.30.251.117 (talk) 06:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Really? Why do you think so? Fredrik Coulter (talk) 18:04, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, for one, that cite actually links back to the top of the page. For another, speaking as a Catholic who has actually done some research into the issue, there really isn't any 'Official Church Guideline' for this. 74.75.5.28 (talk) 23:49, 18 December 2015 (UTC
Blish actually summarizes the views of the author Gerald Heard, who studied theology in his degree at Cambridge, representing these as an indication of the views that he (Blish) received in several letters from Catholic theologians. Heard's views are not presented as official guidelines, but Blish does take them to match the Church's position on the "plurality of worlds".

I've deleted the offending paragraph, as it can't be salvaged in anything like its existing form. Perhaps a more accurate paragraph could be written based on the material here on the talk page, though it's an obscure point and I don't think it would belong in the lede.
