The Protestant revolt took up the rationalism of those Enlightenment times and brought the first great blow to the house of faith by rendering the Sacraments mere symbols, no longer acknowledging the touch of God.

Meanwhile Catholicism sees the early chapters of Genesis as "symbolic," no longer acknowledging that G-d actually "touched" His creation.

A "theistic evolutionist" is the last person who has the right to lecture anyone on anything.

Documentation that the Catholic Church sees Genesis as PURELY symbolic.

Yes I intentionally added the word "PURELY" (in bold underlined Italic). Because it is entirely possible for something to be both symbolic and literal.

Not all Catholics believe as you say. Can you really put all Catholics into one bucket? Or are you trying to mindread?

Comparing Sacraments to Genesis is really mixing apples and oranges.
