[GCC Catholic]

Do any of you suppose that Padre Pio believed in JEPD, or that Noah's Flood was a myth adapted from the Enuma Elish or that Adam and Eve were were not real people?

No, I don't suppose he did. Yet I don't either. I suspect that quite a number of Catholics (and certainly a greater proportion on FR than in general) don't believe those things either. (A side point: Denial of Adam and Eve was explicitly denounced by Pius XII in his encyclical letter "Humani Generis.")

Denial of miracles (both ancient and modern) is a trait of the modernists.

I am not a Protestant. I don't even believe in sola scriptura. Unfortunately, most Catholic opponents of sola scriptura tend to confuse ss with total Biblical inerrancy and thus oppose both concepts. Thus the attacks on one are interpreted as attacks on the other and Protestants respond by clinging to both even more stubbornly.

Existing for 2000 years really doesn't prove anything. Judaism has been around for 3320 years yet most Catholics think it's a false religion. And again, the notion that remaining in a single communion is more important than truth itself is why the Catholic Church today is rotting from the head down.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Catholics are very liberal when it comes to the Bible, and Catholic apologetics often invoke blasphemous higher critical theories to disprove sola scriptura, so again, a rejection of ss is identified with higher criticism. Many Catholic bibles with the imprimatur of the bishops incorporate higher critical theories in their commentary. And unfortunately, Catholic FReepers tend to be every bit as liberal on the Bible as other Catholics.
