A day in Religion class

[GenMarshall]

Yes, you are, but there are fewer of you than you assume.

How in the world can that be, Even the Vatican accepts that Evolution is valid.

 

[Quiet Sound]

Not all Catholics accept the Vatican's word as Gospel? Or even keep up with what the Vatican says?

That sort of makes the whole Pope thing irrelevant then?

 

[Guangxi]

Shaping the hand to a bowl, "accepting God's gifts".

Yeah, if you believe in God (not even necessarily that He/She/it/They created the world, although that is the most common) and also accept evolution completely as understood by science, you are a theistic evolutionist.

 

[holy king]

nd when he claimed that Hitler was a catholic. Hmm.

well, since he was austrian he most likely was...

I'm a Roman Catholic and yet I am a Theistic Evolutionist.

what the hell is that supposed to be???


oh and theres actually an austrian cardinal (schönborn) enforcing ID, he gave an interview to the new york times about it some time ago which caused a little discussion over here....
so, so much for the official view of the catholic church

 

[FredLC]

As someone said, all Catholics follow Evolution.

"Follow" evolution?

That is just about as worrying as imagining that they are YEC.

Their stance on evolution, like their recommendations to Natural Family Planning and voting against laws allowing homosexual marriage, are not stated "from the chair". The Pope has never taken an Infallible stance on these issues; they're just general recommendations by noted Catholic scholars.

 

[Swedishguy]

Yeah, well, it doesn't change the fact that the anti-intellectualism of America is caused by some of America's brands of protestantism. It also doesn't change the fact that y'all are heretics.

Oh, I'm not a protestant. And I'm aware that most fundamentalists in America are protestants.

I did not know that.

Out of pure curiosity, have they accepted the heliocentric theory? I'm not looking to troll, I'm honestly curious.

No, Pope John Paul II acknowledged it in his papacy, it was never an official word of the Vatican. But it really switched a lot of Catholics from YEC to Theistic Evolution.

Only dogma needs to be accepted as the word.

Austrian Cardinal < Pope John Paul II.

Darn you and your good English skills.

I sure hope so, I don't think the Church is that far behind.

 

[colontos]

I highly doubt that.

I didn't say that; AlCosta did. Why did you change it to look like I did?
