What's the difference between changing the interpretation of Genesis and changing the teaching on abortion, birth control, or women priests?
Lots of statements; no specifics. Please cite examples with valid references.
Ms. NYer, I asked a simple question. If the church fathers interpreted Genesis literally (with the exception of Augustine; everyone knows about Augustine); if Leo XIII's Arcanum taught that Adam was created from "slime" on the sixth day, put to sleep, and then Eve taken from his side, then on what grounds do you as a faithful Catholic have to change these prior interpretations into mere allegories? What's the difference between what you have done and liberal pro-abort and pro-gay Catholics have done with the things they disagree with?
Where are the specific examples of the Catholic Church changing its teaching on abortion, birth control or women priests?
