My understanding is that Catholics are not “required” to take Genesis chapters 1-11 literally, but that there are nine (or is it fourteen?) doctrinal points to which all Catholics must assent regarding Genesis 1-11.

Does anybody know what those points are and what Vatican document contains them?

Thanks!
 
Really it is the first three chapters that cover (17) dogmatic statements (De Fide) found in sources such as Ludwig Ott. I now have them on my pro-theistic-evolution apologetics site.

Catholic Dogma on Creation

The document is the Pontifical Biblical Commission from 1909. Type these in Google:

Catholic Dogma on Creation
OR
1909 Pontifical Biblical Commission

Like MAGIC, my article shows as #1 hooray!
