Then he comes up with this crazy idea that humanoids exist elsewhere in the universe that are just like us but without Original Sin. That means they go to heaven, possibly with a brief stop in Purgatory if they were a little bad in life. But this is a different deal than the earthlings get!

You see, all humans who are not baptized ... well, the best they can hope for is purgatory for eternity. Hell, if they were really bad. But Heaven is simply not an option. Once the word gets out that the Vatican thinks there is a group of humanoids who are in a sense, more 'chosen' than any earthling, all hell will break loose. If I can say that. (I think I can say that.)

His ass, in my opinion, is totally grass.
