So what? they also endorse: abortion, gambling, premarital sex, homos, drinking, child molestation,...this is the "if everyone is doing it, it must be right" theory. Pick and choose what you like and promote it. Anybody can wear a collar these days and say whatever they like.

Were you responding to PH or me?

If to my post, since when do Catholics endorse abortion? I seem to remember recently some Catholic clergy who pointedly refused to recognize members of congress because they supported abortion. The Kennedys don't count, they abandoned their faith decades ago.

Since when does the Catholic church officially endorse child molestation? They've paid through the nose in money and PR because they allowed a few bad apples into their clergy. That's not new. The Southern Baptist child molester my ex-wife married was excused by my ex-in-laws (Southern Baptist minister) because "the child made him do it". Right. That was even after the guy was convicted! Catholics have no monopoly on bad clergy. Read up on Jim Jones sometime.

You can read anything you want into Genesis, even if it doesn't fit reality. But using government to force your faith to be taught as science in a public school is way over the top. No scientist is trying to force your church to preach evolution, so why do you think it should work the other way round?
