The Catholic Church interprets some portions of the Old Testament in non-literal terms. The days in Genesis, for instance, probably represent individual phases of creation rather than literal 24 hour periods.
You do a lot of crowing about how that somehow means the Catholic Church rejects portions of the Old Testament.
Yet I’m pretty sure you reject ALL of the New Testament.
The irony is creamy and delicious, like a fine mousse au chocolat.
Yeah, especially the messianic prophecies.

And we know this because "science" tells us that the formation of the world came about purely naturally, and thus took zillions and zillions of years. Therefore, since Genesis contradicts "science," it doesn't mean what it says. However, if a scientist very logically concludes that the "consecrated host" isn't literally the flesh and blood of J*sus, Catholics have tantrum. Why is it "science" may sit in judgment on Jewish scriptures but not chr*stian ones?

And it has decided that Darwin and Wellhausen are authoritative on these matters and chosen to follow them.

Not really, since I don't claim to honor the "new testament" as scripture. You claim to recognize Genesis as scripture, yet allow "science" to sit in judgment on it. Yet you refuse to let science sit in judgment on your "new testament!" Seems to me the irony is all on your part.
'Probably' does not denote an interpretation...It denotes a rejection of what was said by God...
The days in Genesis DO represent individual phases of creation...And God says those phases are days...And He even goes to to trouble of telling you what a day is...
You're not interpreting when you say God 'probably' means something else...You're rejecting...
