Scroll down to the section. "Science and the stewardship of knowledge"

We are not anti science ,we live in what is truth.
When science comes up with absolute facts such as the age of the Earth-we know is certainly more than 6000 years old.
We believe it, because we always must live in truth
because God is truth

Your mistake is that You,re confusing Catholicism with religious fundamentalism.

So you admit my charge that the Catholic Church does not believe in the total inerrancy of Scripture, which is one of the things the author of your posted article criticized in liberal Protestant churches.

What will she do when she realizes that the "unchanging" Catholic Church has changed its interpretation of Genesis and is no different from the most radical Protestants on this issue?

If you will recall, in my initial post to this thread I highlighted the author's citing of Biblical inerrancy as one of the things she saw the Protestants rejecting and one of the reasons she was leaving them. What do you think she will do when she finds out the Catholic Church is just as bad or worse than any liberal Protestant on this issue???

The weakening of faith and the collapse of moral values were equally disheartening. Many mainline churches, once stalwart in defense of orthodox Christian doctrine, now watered down fundamental beliefs such as THE INERRANCY OF SCRIPTURE, the Virgin Birth, the Bodily Resurrection, and even the Divinity of Christ. (Emphasis added)

Perhaps you didn't notice this passage in the article you posted???

Catholics on this forum have accused me of "bearing false witness" (in AB's constantly repeated refrain), yet one of your number, stfassisi, has just confirmed that the Catholic Church accepts evolution with this article to a page on the Official Vatican web site.

So who's bearing false witness now???
