Why do Roman Catholics question so much of Genesis?
based upon the below opening sentence of Mr. Pope's;
If so, in this particular thread it was a bit unfair I think, to have worded your question having it appear that 'Roman Catholics' widely, or in general(?) question so much of Genesis (all holding the same precise views?) since in regards to the biblical accounts of Noah (at least) it appears to me there are plenty of [Roman] Catholics who do not question that portion, one of them being the writer of the article of course, and then more than a few here who's comments indicate their own agreement with the writer. In addition to that consideration, Mr. Pope could well enough have been referring (or referring also) to those who are not Roman Catholic at all who have raised the questions.
I myself find no disagreement with Mr. Pope said in this latest article of his, here republished on FR. As has been the case with many other of his published articles writings too. He often writes along lines agreeing with, confirming my own opinions, and in general agreement with any number of other-than-Roman Catholic theologians, preachers, expounders of biblical teaching & principles, etc. Perhaps he confirms my own biases?
But you may have something in regard to how, in other places amid RCC teaching and preaching the book of Genesis is treated, if that was also (and/or more) what you were alluding to. Then again, regarding the opening chapters of Genesis, I personally see no need for strictest literal interpretations need be applied.
