The Vatican Says It Would Baptise An Ailen!

Brings up a point though. Did Jesus die for humanity's sins or for the sins of all life in the universe? Not sure how his salvation would work for some alien.
A group of space explorers land on a planet to find the population living in a healthy state of bliss. Upon investigation, they discover that an enigmatic visitor came to them. Further description leads the two spacemen to believe that this man is Jesus (though he is never named, leaving room for other religious personas). One decides to spend the rest of his days on the rejoicing in the wake of the man's glory. The other continues in his spaceship, "chasing 'him' always a step behind, never fast enough to catch up to him, constantly trying to achieve the unachievable." Other members of the crew decide to stay on the planet to learn from the contented citizens, and are rewarded by the discovery that "he" is still on the planet.

I know i know, it sounds like something from a tabloid newspaper, but i read in the Guardian today a UK Broadsheet paper that reported on an interview with a high up Vatican official that an ET would be baptised into the Catholic faith!
