Watch out, we have a heretic over here!
But, according to your Catholic doctrine, all those stories are literal, otherwise no need to be baptized to wash away Original Sin which was placed upon humanity because of Adam & Eve. And even Jesus believed the Noah flood myth because he referenced it in Matthew 24:37.
Incorrect. A Catholic is free to interpret ot stories as either literal or fictolional.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
