The Catechism of the Catholic Church allows choice of 6-days or Evolution. The evolution has caveats, as it requires God to be a part of it, not a random and unorganized system that created humans by chance. Catholic theory would align with a big-bang theory of evolution but other theories could be presented that are just as valid. But Catholics are still allowed to hold the 6-days of creation if they choose and it is not a conflict to their faith. Just because the pope says something, doesn't make it infallible.
The alien comment is simply we don't know anything about hypothetical aliens, so they could exist and after learning about them a proper understanding on where they are will commence. The existence of Aliens isn't proven, so we leave it as a possibility. Denying something with currently 0 proof isn't wrong.
Better answer than any of them ever gave me.
