Last year we got a thread from a Catholic apologist addressing the same question (Did Adam and Eve Really Exist?) in which the author argued that Catholic doctrine allows for two distinct individual homo sapiens ("Adam and Eve") which could be identified existing within a broader population of co-existing, co-evolving former-primates, and that it was these two individuals who sinned and cursed all of the other evolving former-primates and thus the entire emerging human race.
Even when Catholics "defend" Genesis they wind up ripping it to shreds.
That's strange; G-d provided a book that describes exactly what happened. Perhaps you should obtain a copy and read it sometime?
So you, a venerable WWII veteran, also believe this "evolving primate" stuff?
As I have often stated, evolutionism in the Catholic Church is nothing new.
Prepare to be ignored!
You just proved my point with that sentence.
nice dodge...so now answer the question posed to you...
I wonder for how long, in the Catholic view, that Adam and Eve retained their muzzles and body hair after they became "ensouled"?
Gen 1:14.
others want the Church to revert to Latin only liturgies
for the record, I am one of those...
They simply chose their own ideas of how to do this, rather than that of the holy men who honestly were trying to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit.
the question is why anyone seemed to think the services of the Holy Spirit (which let’s face it, as the Church defines it today can be anything anyone wants it to be) were needed to fix something that wasn’t broken...the seminaries and Catholic schools are certainly bustling places today compared to the ‘50’s, aren’t they...
I believe what John 6 says. Jesus went on to say, "Do this in REMEMBERANCE of me." Unfortunately for you, it doesn't mention saying 'hocus pocus" over bread and turning it into Christ body.
It is also why my bride decided that our children will go to an LCMS school.
Which surprised me. She was on bed rest for four months with our youngest, and had alot of time to think.
SOME seminaries are. :-)
On the other hand, many Catholic schools are no longer spiritually Catholic...sadly.

I fully believe that God will reveal His great mercy in the coming year...as we see more and more what living without honoring Him is really brings.
Then why does it view the six days as symbolic?
“it is simply the writing of men and subject to change”
Wrong.
“All the world’s evils are due do lukewarm Catholics”.

Look for the Nihil Obstat and the imprimatur in the front of the book..as you well know, it indicates that the book is without significant error
5th grade sentence diagramming
do this (that's a complete imperative sentence issueing a command)
In memory of Me...that's the reason to "do this"
THIS is the object of the sentence....."you" is the subject(you is understood) " do" is the verb or predicate of the sentence
You do this...is a complete sentence and a command
In memory of Me is why you do this
"THIS" is the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ!!!
do you understand now?????
sure it is
Boy, you just proved my original post. You feel free to eliminate one of Jesus’ words to make your point. Just like a liberal with the constitution.
what word???
What's that???
How so?
