Here is what I believe. Sift through it to find a few things you contest and then accuse me of heresy again. It still makes you both petty and false.

I do not, will not subscribe to any mans teaching that differs from what the words in the Bible say. Pope or not, from the Vatican or not. I am not petty, you make the claim that Bible is FALSE, not I.
1703 Endowed with “a spiritual and immortal” soul,5 the human person is “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.”6
The word ‘endowed’, does this described an evolutionary ‘leap’ that gave man something divine? By its very definition, something that is endowed comes from something. We were endowed, at our Creation (not at some point in our evolution) with our spiritual and immortal soul.
So, where in the evolutionary ladder of things did the soul appear? Neanderthal? Ardi? The Lemur? At what point, in your version of Gods evolutionary plan, did man evolve enough to be endowed?
Really, Natural Law, is man divine or just an accident in the giant dice game of the cosmos?
‘spiritual and immortal’, are these attributes evolutionary? Or perhaps our Creator ‘endowed’ us with them
123 Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of God.
True Word. Hmmm, except the parts we don’t believe.
121 The Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value,92 for the Old Covenant has never been revoked.
Books are divinely inspired, yet written by men, so we will only believe the parts that we can support by sight. Creation, naw, evolution is the way and the light.
A link to the Catechism? Pearls before swine, my friend. Most of these YEC fundies are too convinced of their own infallibility to even consider the faith of the ages that their forefathers apostatized from in pride and ignorance. But may God bless you for trying.
You asked me to sift, I did, found teachings you are contradicting, and which you have as yet to reply to.
His Word is True. It says what it says. It is from God to tell us of whence we come, and how we came to be and why.
It shows that you follow man and not God. You say you believe what is in that link, then discredit the Boob that our Father caused to be written.
