Quick question, how can the church support a literal occurrence of a claimed event, but also support belief that that event didn't actually happen?
IT doesn't. The Church leaves it up to the individual to determine it for themselves.
"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."
