After years of lagging behind in the acceptance of scientific fact, the Vatican has not only caught up, but, with a conference this week, moved far past the boundaries of modern science.

Quite a few alien abductees mention "anal probing". If that doesn't get the attention of a bunch of priests, nothing will. I apologize, I just couldn't pass it up.
