Making Sure Catholics Don't Take the Bible Literally

As the evolution-vs-creation debate takes place in various towns through the USA, leaders in the Catholic Church are becoming worried that some Catholics are believing in a literal six-day creation as described by the bible! Fearing this might lead Catholics to look at other parts of the bible literally, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Ohio, in the July 8 issue of its newspaper, 'The Catholic Telegraph,' published an article titled, "Creationism Talk Suggests Need to Revisit Catholic Education."

The article theme is best described as follows:

"Catholic educators need to develop better teaching programs to correct the anti-evolution biases that Catholics are hearing, in light of community conflicts about creation and evolution popping up in the United States."

This is a call to Catholic educators to make sure Catholics are taught that the Genesis account of creation should NOT be believed! As the executive director of the US Bishops Committee on Science and Human Values from 1984 to 2003 said:

"The Genesis creation stories should not be read literally because they are stories, after all."

The article made clear that the Catholic Church believes in evolution, as summed up by what a local Catholic education official said:

"We like science. It teaches us how Creation began."

Comment – The REAL reason Rome likes evolution is that it denies a literal reading of the bible! Rome does NOT want the bible read literally because Catholics may start taking the promises of Christ 'literally,' such as what Christ said in John 10:28:

"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand."

If Rome can cast doubt on the account of creation in Genesis, then Rome can cast doubt on any other part of the bible.

It turns out the local item of concern is a new "Creation Museum and Family Discovery Center" in nearby northern Kentucky. The article warned Catholics of Cincinnati:

"Some parents are already worried that their children will be drawn unwittingly to the center at an impressionable age and become confused about church teachings."

Comments:

1. "Some parents." This is a Catholic lie – "Parents" aren't the ones bringing this up, this is coming straight from the archdiocesan headquarters.

2. "Confused about church teachings." Translated – What the Catholic Church REALLY means is: Some Catholic children might believe in the actual Genesis account of creation, and start asking their priests why they can't believe other parts of the bible.

May the Spirit of God show Catholics that the bible is trustworthy, but their priests and bishops are NOT! May many Catholics repent of the sin of Catholicism and receive by faith ALONE the true and saving Christ of the bible.
