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.
That’s one way to interpret it.
This whole topic is nothing but a distraction. And a divisive one at that. It has nothing to do with what God’s plan for us and how we put that plan into action.
