What? I still don't see where it says Catholics are required to believe in the OT stories literally, which is what I thought you were saying. The very first quote you posted, actually, specifically says genesis "uses figurative language."
Yes, we believe God is the ultimate creator (even with evolution). Yes, we believe in original sin having been passed down by our first parents. I had already said this.

"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."
