I can only conclude that anti-literalism has become an important part of Catholic identity.

You mean like Wednesday bingo nights or Friday fish frys at the K of C?

I think it's odd that you talk about "literalism," but you splatter hyperbole all over the place when talking about Catholic teaching (e.g., "nothing in Genesis 1-11 is ever to be taken literally")

Hyperbole is a literary device, remember? Not to be taken literally. Evidently anti-literalism is an important part of your identity, too.

Nope, I meant it--non-literalism is now part of the Catholic identity. And Catholics know it's true, too.
