[Zionist Conspirator]

However, it sounds to me that if you held and expressed the position of believing that the virgin birth was "magic babies" or that the assumption of Mary was akin to "celestial women's basketball" the advice given you was pretty good.

I was told to get out because I believed Genesis 1-11 was literal history.

The other opinions I express show my utter frustration at Catholics' hypocrisy in accepting any "miracle" under the sun other than the events of Genesis 1-11.

"I was told to get out because I believed Genesis 1-11 was literal history."

You do know that your position is not incompatible with Catholic Doctrine and that your counselor was in no way speaking for the Church, don't you?

I don't want to turn this thread into another Creationist vs Evolutionist debate, only to show that your contempt of the Church is not well founded. The Church does does teach ex nihilo creation and rejects the abiogenetic creation of man. In 1986 Pope John Paul II expressed the Church's position as this:

"the theory of natural evolution, understood in a sense that does not exclude divine causality, is not in principle opposed to the truth about creation. . . .as presented in the Book of Genesis. . . .It must, however, be added that this hypothesis proposes only a probability, not a scientific certainty. . . .
