“Why should a church that labels whole books of the Hebrew Bible (on which its claims are ultimately based) as didactic parables and “mythology” even believe in angels in the first place?”
1) Since when does a story being a “didactic parable” mean it isn’t true?
2) “mythology” - in what document from the Church?
“This goes especially for the Genesis-hating, evolutionist crazies at “Catholic Answers.”
Show me this “hate”. Can you?
Show me this hate. Can you?
The catechism does note that the creation account in Genesis is to be viewed symbolically.....not a literal six day creation.
The Catechism explains that "Scripture presents the work of the Creator symbolically as a succession of six days of divine work, concluded by the rest of the seventh day" (CCC 337),

If you can't/don't believe in a literal six-day creation, then how could you believe Jesus rose on the third day?
