Pope Pius XII said it was permissible for theologians to study it. He also stated that Adam was a real individual from which all men descend, and there were no men before him. He condemned polygenism, which is the opposite view. This is a very far cry from what is claimed in the article concerning Pius XII.
Thanks for the clarification.
I gotta tell you, this stuff from Francis seems to be off base.
Our world is going dark, and he is championing a viewpoint that at best downplays man’s need for a Saviour.
The message of Christianity is that man devolved after creation—which is why we need Jesus.
An interesting read.
