Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Curiosity's images of Mars have revealed several "sightings" that seem to point toward life previously thriving on what is currently believed to be an uninhabited planet.
Conspiracy theorists and alien-hunters took to UFO Sightings Daily after taking a closer look at an image of what appears to be the remains of a church and a crucifix.
Initial reports of a crucifix and what could be the remains of a church came from French website Christian Mace.
Not far from the crucifix, what seems to be a rock with the appearance of "a beautifully carved roof" that has "caved in" and "archways carved" in "three thin layerd [sic] sections" sits in a pile.
One anonymous commenter wrote each image was "very compelling," while the article stated: "This is a very unusual find and probably a significant discovery for some readers here that are religious."UFO Sightings Daily editor Scott Waring claimed, "I would be[t] big money that this is a full size [sic] cross," before describing what he believes are the roof and archways of what could potentially be a church.
Other Martian images and faces have been discovered in images Curiosity has returned to NASA, but all can be considered a trick-of-the-eye.
To date, the only thing Curiosity has discovered to indicate life exists, or existed, on Mars was evidence of water previously existing on the red planet.
Unless Curiosity reveals a moving, living, being or creature, it is safe to assume the images sent home can only be used for geographic purposes.
