Protestants shitheads worry about evolution.
Oh come one you didn't fall for that old trick? Darwin's "Origin of species" was blacklisted book by Vatican and put on their Index Librorum Prohibitorum of immoral, corrupting books whose reading condemns you to eternal damnation. Some other books were by scientists and authors such as Kepler, Francis Bacon, Sartre, Copernicus, Galileo...
Of course Hitler's "Mein Kampf" was never on that list, because let's face it antisemitism is not immoral among Chaolic leaders, on countrary it's even uplifting. *
Then in 1950 Pope Pius XII affirmed monogenism in his encyclical Humani Generis saying that Church cannot accept evolution of man because that would mean no Adam and therefore no sin and so on.
But the fact is that Catholic church is trying to look liberal on evolution, saying how some Pope signed something somewhere, but in reality real Christians hate evolution and teach in Sunday schools how it's a lie. Because many churches don’t want to be seen as rejecting science, neither do they wish to lag too far behind public morality, and so they often tweak their religious “truths” to reflect the zeitgeist. Perhaps the most obvious example is the Mormon policy on blacks in the priesthood. Although African Americans were permitted to be priests until 1852, church president Brigham Young then barred them from the priesthood (Mormons have a lay priesthood) and from participating in certain religious ceremonies—all because their pigmentation supposedly reflected the mark of Cain. A century later this doctrine came under pressure from the American civil rights movement, as well as from the church’s desire to make converts in Brazil. This produced a timely revision when the governing body of the church declared that God, having heard their prayers, sent them a “revelation” giving blacks full privileges as Mormons.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
