"Actually, it's de facto position is that if you don't accept evolution, you can't be Catholic.

If you are so sure please substantiate that with a citation of the applicable Church doctrine.

I neglected to mention that Catholics are also required to accept Wellhausen as well as Darwin."

Who told you that lie? Can you subnstantiate that with a citation as well?

"I don't have a church, remember?"

That is why I used a lower case "c".

"I do know, however, that contrary to what most chr*stian churches teach, G-d wrote the entirety of the Torah and then dictated it to Moses letter-for-letter."

Looks like you are going to be 0 for 4 in the citation department which pretty much confirms your assertions as not much more than the vainglorious musings of a terribly misinformed person.

How many time have you and/or your co-religionists defended evolution specifically as Catholics? How many times have you/they said "Catholics accept evolution?" How many times has rejection of evolution/higher criticism been lumped in with sola scriptura as Protestant heresy?

Have you ever read Jim Auer's "Under 21" columns in Liguorian? Or any of the innumerable articles in Catholic publications (pick any of them) that defend evolution/higher criticism?

Go to "Catholic Answers" and see what they say. Read Peter Stravinskas' The Catholic Response. Note the rejection (in the name of Catholicism) the anti-evolutionist, anti-higher critical positions.

Ever hear of Archbishop Whelan of Hartford, CT (now deceased)? I corresponded with him. He openly praised the Arkansas ACLU for its anti-creation litigation (I believe the Diocese of Little Rock actually filed an amicus curiae brief with the ACLU).

If Catholicism doesn't all but teach evolution, then why do you and your co-religionists believe in it???
