[Ethan Clive Osgoode]

The church first brought evolution into the fold in 1950 with the work of Pope Pius XII

Pope Pius XII said it was permissible for theologians to study it. He also stated that Adam was a real individual from which all men descend, and there were no men before him. He condemned polygenism, which is the opposite view. This is a very far cry from what is claimed in the article concerning Pius XII.

Thanks for the clarification.

I gotta tell you, this stuff from Francis seems to be off base.

Our world is going dark, and he is championing a viewpoint that at best downplays man’s need for a Saviour.

The message of Christianity is that man devolved after creation—which is why we need Jesus.
