The Church exists to keep alive in people’s heart the memory that God loves them. It exists to tell everyone, even those furthest away: “God doesn’t forget you, He cares about you”.

Right, but Baptism isn’t *just* about original sin. I’d say it’s still worth it
— Michael Rogers, SJ (@mrogerssj) November 29, 2019
Well, if baptism is the sacrament that, in addition to healing original sin, initiates us into the life of the Church and the Trinity, why should it end?

Well... The head of the Vatican observatory put out a book in which he addresses the question of baptizing aliens (he would) so there’s likely good logic there.

1 of the more interesting things about this appointment is that, with good reason, it breaks a sort of episcopal glass ceiling on these sorts of appointments.
