I, for one, wouldn’t doubt these changes to Bible commentary due to the Modernists infiltrating the Church. At the same time, I won’t assume your source is accurate either. I happen to have a NAB bible back home and when I can get to it I will check out the commentary for myself.
I happen to have a NAB bible back home and when I can get to it I will check out the commentary for myself.If either of you (or anyone else following this thread) should run across anything in a Catholic Bible commentary or in the CCC that affirmatively answers the question posed by the title of this thread (i.e., "Does the Catholic Church Teach that Adam and Eve Are Myths"), please ping me back to this thread. Thanks.
The source was my own substantiated research, and it certainly is in the NAB Bibles cited, the footnotes (if not the Bible helps) of which you can see on the Vatican's own site, and, and that of USCCB, both of which I cited.
And RC testimony was also provided, as in, "a Roman Catholic apologist using the 1992 version also lists some of the same errors described below, and is likewise critical of the liberal scholarship behind it (though he elsewhere denigrated Israel as illegally occupying Palestine), while a Roman Catholic cardinal is also crtical of the NAB on additional grounds. "
Check you own, but you will need a NAB study Bible with the Bible helps.
The Google Books online Catholic Study Bible: The New American Bible, with the latest stamps being 2005, lacks the Bible helps section i referenced but still examples the liberal revisionism of relegating historical events as fables, yet which the NT treats as liberal,
In the preface to Jonah we read,
" The story may be termed a fable..it can also be termed a parable," and attributes late compilation to it."
On pp. 34,35 it states,
Which means that if the Lord was referring to a fable when He predicted His death and resurrection, then souls could say that was a fable as well:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. (Matthew 12:40)
>In addition, the story of the Israelites' ancestors in Genesis is composed of numerous,. originally independent folk tales.
And it proceeds ( p. 36 ) to assert that the events of the story of the Hebrews deliverance from Exodus are "historically impossible," and falsely claim the story was a result of writers who took traditions and "constructed from them a dramatic and persuasive written narrative, " and even "the actual events no longer resembled the traditions and cannot be reconstructed from them.
Which mess somehow must be what Steven referred to in Acts 7:
He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years. (Acts 7:36)
Thus the sppsd one true church that is promoted as being led into all truth (missing the asterisks) to which we are to submit to, attributes to the Spirit of God that of teaching fables and folk tales as facts! And this is only a small sample!
