Still waiting for a magisterial document that reverses centuries of teaching and an explanation of where was the Holy Spirit during all this time.What the Catholic kids are taught is what the Church teaches. If you disagree with the Church that is your prerogative, but you can’t in good faith come to a Catholic forum and say that you know better than the Church what the Church teaches.
Indeed. He was instrumental in trying to “modernize” church teaching.We can look at someone like Teilhard de Chardin as a proponent of evolutionism. He is a modern-day Catholic scholar. Many Catholics today follow his ideas.
Once again the church and everyone accepts micro-evolution. Macro is the issue.You admit that the Church accepts evolution and an old earth, apparently, but are now merely arguing that you are free to disagree with science.
LOL, still waiting for any actual evidence that your own personal view is the long teaching of the Church, as opposed to what is being taught by the bishops and the Pope.Still waiting for a magisterial document that reverses centuries of teaching and an explanation of where was the Holy Spirit during all this time.
Yes, yes, you have been pushing this false dichotomy and promoting your own personal theory on the forum for many years. The Church’s views on evolution are clear, and available to anyone who wants to see them. Anyone that really wants to know what the Church teaches should refer to Church documents.Once again the church and everyone accepts micro-evolution. Macro is the issue.
I think we can measure various views from him. If we actually read what Teilhard was saying, and understand what he believed (mostly what he did not believe or accept in the authority of the Church) we can see what “scientific religion” is all about. Teilhard and his followers were so powerful, that Pope Pius XII could not name him (I wish he had) in his denunciation of Teilhard’s ideas. The “modernization” you speak of has had massively destructive consequences. Some accept that as a fact, others oppose it. For me, I find the effects of Teilhardism to be irrefutable. But many people are frightened to think that modern science could be incorrect, and they are frightened to oppose the academics and scholars, who claim authority even over the Holy Scripture. Many are unwilling to place Faith in the first place of knowledge and understanding, with science, archeology and rationality as only secondary assistants. Those who place the Catholic tradition first, are considered “radical” (or crazy or ridiculous or insane) by those who are afraid of what the secular world might think.Indeed. He was instrumental in trying to “modernize” church teaching.
Produce the magisterial document.Dude, the Church has said an old earth and evolution are perfectly compatible with the Faith. I’d trust that over a perception of what the Church teaches.
