So I’d be able to consult, say, many different authorities in the Talmud and get the same exact opinions on it then, eh? ;)
I said Genesis 1-11, meaning that these chapters relate events that actually happened to people who actually existed. Most Catholics (especially the clergy and theologians) believe that this is didactic mythology adapted from Mesopotamian and Canaanite religion.
Once again, if it weren't for the fact that fundamentalists don't accept it, Catholics would have probably jettisoned the literal interpretation of John 6 decades ago.
Oh come on ZC! Heretics who denied the Real Presence predate the evangelicals by centuries!
