Vatican Observatory officials have been reaching for the stars, even invoking the possible evangelization of extraterrestrial life, as they scramble to justify what some claim is the desecration of an ecologically unique mountain. Environmentalists and the San Carlos Apache, an American Indian tribe, have opposed the international observatory - including a Vatican Observatory telescope - now under construction atop Mount Graham in southeast Arizona.

Jesuit Father George Coyne, Vatican Observatory director, recently told London's conservative Daily Telegraph that the ...
