Linkbait. According to the Vatican Obervatory blog [1] this story is a calumny.

Calumny.

"The LUCIFER Project is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). It is a collaboration of five German institutes, Landessternwarte Heidelberg, Max Planck Institut für Astronomie (Heidelberg), Max Planck Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik (Garching), Fachhochschule für Technik und Gestaltung (Mannheim), Astronomisches Institut der Universität Bochum."
