Quote:When, however, there is question of another conjectural opinion, namely polygenism, the children of the Church by no means enjoy such liberty. For the faithful cannot embrace that opinion which maintains either that after Adam there existed on this earth true men who did not take their origin through natural generation from him as from the first parent of all or that Adam represents a certain number of first parents. Now it is in no way apparent how such an opinion can be reconciled with that which the sources of revealed truth and the documents of the Teaching Authority of the Church propose with regard to original sin, which proceeds from a sin actually committed by an individual Adam and which through generation is passed on to all and is in everyone as his own.[12] (Humani Generis, 12)
Humani Generis
Ergo, traditional Catholic belief has been falsified.
oh noes!! what will we do... oh, you said catholic belief.. yeah that's kinda been falsified when they put a pope over the church and told us he alone speaks for God. that whole precept is in trouble because it is the exact opposite of what Christ himself taught. Christ said we would need no teacher that no man would come between us each individual believer and God himself. The pope is such a man the bishops are such men the priests you must confess to are such men, the whole system is very unbiblical. There is nothing new in your statement as Catholicism has never aligned itself with scripture fully.
