Ah, what a shameless the No True Scotsman fallacy. Let me guess: the supposed "educated" Christians are only those who fall into Belacqua's narrative.
Obviously, Pope Ratzinger is not one since he rejected the paper on Biblical ahistorical.
Also, not Pope Pius XII sonce he affirmed monogenism in his encyclical Humani Generis.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
