Quote:On doctrine, you're absolutely right. But in practice, I can give testimony that the Church really teaches that the topic of evolution is really up to the individual.Of course, my 9th grade biology teacher also happened to teach catechism - but his unit on evolutionary biology was flat out awesome, remember it to this day (though some of it would obviously no longer be accurate), lol. I don't need personal testimony to know that the doctrinal position of the catholic church and the practical operation of the catholic machine are different beasts. That's a bit of the problem, in my estimation....perhaps -why- we get catholics here excusing the machine, for their love of a fantasy -of the the machine-. The church they so confidently know, as catholics, as the true faith.......and the church they actually -belong to- aren't the same entity.
... However ... from the same institution that threatens babies with hell.
-Of course- they get the peedo preists and the slaver nuns, predatory apologists and shill science. The machine positively encourages it, but the smooth operation of that machine -requires- that they offer an entirely different product to their user base. So we get the mainline catholics, all good intention and fuzzy thoughts......because thats what -they- were told, and that's what -they- took from what they were told. Then, the hardliners. Real dicks that say horrible shit. Its double think like "Authoritatively, infallibly, you must hold this to be true, while practically...it's up to you...could be wrong, otherwise known as -allegory-" that seeds the ground for these people. This from the same organization that calls individual conscience "individual disobediance". Of course these fuckers are going to have a fractured thought process. They're being screwed with by those whom (and what) they hold in the highest authority and trust.
But which of the two, the mainliner or the hardliner.... is truer to the machine that catholicism is, rather than the machine they might all -wish it to be-?
You're hitting your stride awfully quick, btw...must have been bottling this up for a long time. How did that go....ever let it slip?
