Well yes, that makes sense. There is plenty of scientific evidence for the evolution of species through natural selection between heritable differences, but no particular scientific reason to assume that sapient aliens are impossible. Why would you expect the Catholic Church to be ignorant of science?

If the Church doesn't stay current in science, how will they know what to ban?

You would have a glorious time. Lord Verisopht scandalizing Emily Fezziwig in the parlour of Tavistock House, with Mr. Dickens' butler looking on with vast disapproval.…
