Some Catholics have already done so, despite this coming from Lawler and being hosted on a Catholic website - see post #50.
And of course, the root cause of the whole problem (which Lawler and other "conservative" Catholics will never mention), most Catholics believe in evolution. Why interpret John 8 any more literally than Genesis 1-11?
Donal Anthony Foley (British creationist Catholic) has it right--Catholics have developed an anti-Biblical bias stemming from a reaction to Protestantism that has made the Catholic Church friendly to evolution from the get-go.
"If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me."
- John 5:46
While I am not a chr*stian, it is quite maddening that the “unchanging” Catholic Church used to believe the “first Adam” was a real as the “second Adam,” but now the “first Adam” was merely a literary form.
