I don't know if you believe it Catholic_Lady but I can assure you it most certainly is. It's a hard topic to explore but this is a good introduction

This is a person's opinion and interpretation of Genesis, not Church doctrine. I assure you, the Church does not teach that natural disasters and insects are God's punishment.
"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."
