Show me this hate. Can you?
The catechism does note that the creation account in Genesis is to be viewed symbolically.....not a literal six day creation.
The Catechism explains that "Scripture presents the work of the Creator symbolically as a succession of six days of divine work, concluded by the rest of the seventh day" (CCC 337),

If you can't/don't believe in a literal six-day creation, then how could you believe Jesus rose on the third day?
Good point. All we know though is that He did.
False dichotomy from a prot, no surprise here.
“The catechism does note that the creation account in Genesis is to be viewed symbolically.....not a literal six day creation.”
No, the CCC says that Genesis is filled with poetic/symbolic language. That in itself in no way is an exclusive juxtaposition to the idea of a literal six days of creation.
Also, you didn’t answer my question and gave an answer to a question no one asked. I asked the following: “Show me this hate. Can you?”
You did not show me any “hatred” for Genesis in Catholic teaching.
“If you can’t/don’t believe in a literal six-day creation, then how could you believe Jesus rose on the third day?”
If you can believe in Jesus rising from the dead, why can you not believe He gave His flesh for men to eat? Logically you can really only answer in a couple of ways - and those ways will always boil down to how you choose to interpret scripture.
It's pretty clear that they don't believe it...Impossible for Jesus to have gone into the grave Friday afternoon and raised at sunrise on Sunday morning...Apparently the rising on the 3rd day is just an allegory to them...
And like their Eucharist, it's likely that many don't believe in the Resurrection at all...
They can't believe in a six day creation since that would destroy their belief in evolution...Why they would want to believe evolution instead of the six day creation likely has its roots in paganism...
So of course, to reject the miracle of creation, one would have to reject the other miracles as well...
If I can believe the miracle of the Resurrection, I can certainly believe the O.T. miracles...And why, some might ask??? Because God says so...
