I did specifically refer to "bible colleges," because the name infers (if it doesn't actually denote) that the school's primary focus is on literalist (incorrectly termed "fundamentalist") ministerial studies.

::Sigh:: I'll never understand why so many Catholics are against "literalism." Is it because you feel it would make the magisterium superfluous or because "it's a redneck thing?"

Antoninus over on another thread is arguing that a fine thing like evolution should never be put in the same category as abortion. I wonder if he's ever heard of "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny?"

I'm not at all against literalism! I was using that term instead of the inflammatory word, "fundamentalist" to be positive. Fundamentalist IS a word with very negative connotations among some Catholics; literalist to my knowledge is not. In fact, Catholic apologetics often assert that we are the true literalists. :^D
