Then he's in trouble with his church. Official church doctrine gives some latitude regrading the interpretation of much of the story; however, a Catholic must accept as truth the existence of Adam and Eve as first parents and some event resulting in the fall. The reason for this of course is that treating this allegorically results in dismantling the need for Christ and the whole scheme comes apart.
