The Sheen quote is a bit hypocritical seeing as how evolutionism is not a false charge against the Catholic Church but is publicly acknowledged as a Catholic belief by practically every Catholic on this forum (yourself included), by every pope since Pius XII, and by Archbishop Sheen, the source of the quote.

The person who refuses to join the Catholic Church because it teaches evolution is not making a mistaken assumption but sincerely in disagreement with what is apparently a fundamental belief of the Catholic Church.

Why would Catholics even want such a person to join the Church, since it would cause only heartache to him/her personally and all his/her fellow Catholics who would have to deal with his/her cognitive dissonance?

I'm sure everyone in my parish--especially the pastor--was happy to see me go.

Most people who decry TToE either don’t understand the process or dislike the conclusion.

I hope you are not in either of these categories.
