Other than that, the Catholic Church doesn't hold as doctrine any scientific position regarding human origins. Science and Faith/Morals are separate categories.

When was the last time you attended Catholic school? They ALL teach evolution which deals directly with human origins. As I have cleary demonstrated, you can't separate the bible and evolution without falling into hopeless contradiction - as catholic schools have done. They are fast leaving their first love.

Never attended one. But I'll take your word for it. That's my understanding as well.

Not everything that's taught in Catholic school is Catholic dogma. Dogmatic Catholic Church teaching regarding human origins can be found in the following documents:

Humani Generis

Media Twists Papal Statement on Evolution

Evolution: What the Pope Said [in 1996]

The two articles addressing the distortion of the Pope's comments regarding theories [plural!] of evolution is very important. And if you can club some sense into some Catholic school principals I'm all for it. You might want to direct them to arn.org
