"Don't forget Newman's 'development' theory..."
Granted - but as long as that is understood within the strict limits set out by Vatican 1, Chapter 4 "On Faith and Reason.":
"13. For the doctrine of the faith which God has revealed is put forward
not as some philosophical discovery capable of being perfected by human intelligence,
but as a divine deposit committed to the spouse of Christ to be faithfully protected and infallibly promulgated.
14. Hence, too,that meaning of the sacred dogmas is ever to be maintained which has once been declared by holy mother church, and there must never be any abandonment of this sense under the pretext or in the name of a more profound understanding."
