A throw-away statement? G-d says something happened and then saying that this doesn't mean it did is a "throw-away statement?" You people have a strange way of thinking.
You left the Church because you weren't well taught. Now, you think you can speak for all Catholics from your limited experience.
I left the Church because it doesn't consider G-d to be truthful. All its bibles are printed with blasphemous higher-critical commentary, and all its publications (Catholic Digest, US Catholic, Liguorian, OSV and its satellites, etc.) attack the immemorial tradition that Moses transcribed the Torah at G-d's dictation as well as the facticity of Daniel, Esther, Jonah, and other books. The Catholic Church is saturated not only with evolutionism but with liberal Protestant higher criticism (which it actually thinks will guard it from the heresy of sola scriptura by making the Bible full of mistakes and falsehoods). It has done more to promote higher criticism and "theistic" evolution than any other religious body on earth for almost a hundred years.
There is no room for anyone who has the slightest reverence for G-d in such a blasphemous, irreverent body. It smells of brimstone, as do any who reject the idea that G-d is neither ignorant, mistaken, or (chas vechalilah!) a liar. The Catholic Church is in the process of being destroyed because it turned against the Bible at least a century (maybe more) ago. You think the chaos in the Church about dogma is quite independent of the modernist skepticism towards the Bible, but you couldn't be more wrong. But never you mind. Just go right on pretending that it all didn't start with evolution (and maybe even Galileo) and keep dreaming of a restored Middle Ages but with evolution. Your days, and the days of all who insist G-d is fallible, are numbered.
It's nothing more than sowing seeds of discord.
Moses received the finger written tablets first but Moses broke them in wrath. Later on Moses went up again to see God(at some months later, the chronology was unclear)and God made Moses write everything down...{(the reason why Moses had to do the work the second time was never made directly clear but given the record of Moses’ temper....God may have wanted to privately discipline Moses.(especially at the second water from the rock incident where Moses in anger struck the rock)(which did produce water) when God wanted Moses to speak to the rock...thus leading to God’s pronouncement that Moses would not be allowed to enter the promised land)}
You left the Church because you don't know the Church. Simple. Honest.
Your days, and the days of all who insist G-d is fallible, are numbered.
You haven't described the Church or me.
“There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.”

Good day.
