vern humphrey:

A few posts ago, you were all hot because I suggested your position was a Protestant one.

And now you accuse me of being a pro-abortionist?

Who accuses you of being a pro-aborts? I say all secular refutations come from research work.
As I can’t report my own posts, I suggest you report it to mods to see how they understand it.

vern humphrey:

Do you accept that or reject it?

I reject you claim Pius XII had taught that.
vern humphrey:

But I can show you a Protestant website that says the Popes are wrong to say evolution is not incompatible with Catholic doctrtine.

Does it have ANY authority?
vern humphrey:

So Pius XII and John Paul the Great were heretics?

none of my business. at least they haven’t taught anything wrong.

Read it for yourself: newadvent.org/library/docs_pi12hg.htm

Let me point out, the document I posted earlier was by John Paul the Great. He said Pius XII wrote that in Humani Generis. Here is an excerpt from Humani Generis.

1. For these reasons the Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter – for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God.

As much as your posts about pro-abortionists.

John Paul the Great taught:

In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII had already stated that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation, on condition that one did not lose sight of several indisputable points.

And Pius XII taught:

1. For these reasons the Teaching Authority of the Church does not forbid that, in conformity with the present state of human sciences and sacred theology, research and discussions, on the part of men experienced in both fields, take place with regard to the doctrine of evolution, in as far as it inquires into the origin of the human body as coming from pre-existent and living matter – for the Catholic faith obliges us to hold that souls are immediately created by God.
