I was a roman catholic as a child. I got some sacrament or other. With it came a copy of the new testament, but no Five Books of Moses. I wonder why.

I believe that the Catholic Church embraced Protestant-created higher criticism (and evolution) because they undermined the truth of the Bible and thus undercut the Protestant claim of Biblical sufficiency (which claim is false, btw, as the Written Torah cannot be understood apart from the Oral Torah.) Now in order to be Catholic one simply must be a higher critic and evolutionist, or else face charges of being crypto-Protestant. On top of this is the lie that the Catholic (and Orthodox, and other ancient) churches in fact never accepted the truth of Genesis at all, and that the historical accuracy of Genesis 1-11 is a creation of nineteenth century evangelicals.

The hardest to take of Catholic (and other) hypocrisy is the fact that while they subject Genesis to uniformitarian scientific critique, they exempt the "new testament" with its equally impossible, unscientific claims such as "real presence," resurrection from the dead, multiplication of loaves and fishes, and magical virgins who give birth to babies without the participation of a human father and whose child magically passes through the mother's side to be born so her hymen would remain intact. All this is approved by their "scientists" and "intellectuals" but only inborn trailer trash could possibly believe in the Six Days of Creation, the Flood, or the Tower of Babel.

They disgust me.

You forgot obsess, in addition to disgust.

Funny, there was a post here yesterday quoting a medieval rabbi who came up with an age for the universe of 15 billion years, based on his understanding of the chronology of Genesis. Does he disgust you as well? Probably not.

Thanks for your great reply. Of course I agree with you.

**The hardest to take of Catholic (and other) hypocrisy **

Catholicism in not hypocrisy. It was founded on the apostles by Jesus Christ.

Where did you get this erring information?
