They're going to have to add another line to the hymn "All things Bright and Beautiful" now.... 😉

Why? Surely "all creatures great and small" covers aliens?

I guess, but perhaps something about the "little alien which tries to suck your brains out with a straw" might be nice.

I guess those are not the ones that are free from original sin?

Apart from mankind, all animals are free from original sin.

They had their legs taken away so that they would be forced to crawl on their bellies, in addition all animals were punished with the guarantee of death. However, since the snake never actually took a bite of the apple, God stopped there and decided not to put conditions on its entry into the afterlife.

They are still free of original sin, according to Catholic doctrine.

Sadly, you're probably right--I couldn't take that bet.

Is that Catholic doctrine? {I'm just curious--this isn't meant to start an argument--I just know some people who think animals have souls}
