My faith is strong enough (thanks God) that I don’t have to reject out of hand scientific theories that seem to contradict my CURRENT understanding of Bible teachings. I know that any APPARENT contradiction is due to my sinful nature coming between me and the TRUTH and it will all be made clear eventually.
Bully for you.
The authors of the passage I quoted don't simply refuse to "reject out of hand scientific theories." They plainly state that "Moses" used an allegory of seven days to represent millions of years.
Catholicism has been soft on evolution from day one and even "conservative" Catholics refuse to disassociate themselves from it. This is why the Catholic Church is in such a mess, but no Catholic, no matter how "conservative," will admit this, it seems. After all, we simply can't agree with "those awful people" about anything.
