If evolution is guided by God then it's intelligent design aka, creationism.
That so many people are fooled by that cheap Vatican slight of language is mind bending. But then mebbie not, after all they are Catholics.
I went to Catholic schools. We were told the creation story but were taught science when it came to evolution. In the area where I grew up the population was over 90% Catholic but I was seemingly amongst Catholics who understood that some things in the Bible were simply stories.
Don't think all Catholics are what you have pictured.
Fair comment. I do tend to go a bit ballistic when reading Bel's heavily disguised apologetics. As for Catholic schools, It looks as though we had very similar experiences. The place was infested with Carmelite drones, I doubt any of them ever had an original thought ever enter their heads. I'm pretty sure the canteen used holy water to boil the tatties, and the swimming pool was holy water. Science was not well represented, we had one and a half hours per week and evolution was never mentioned, ever. Religion was three hours per week.
A brand new school teaching bronze age campfire stories, but then talking to old schoolmates over the years it appears that none of it stuck. Census form Christians at most, the devout, none.
One has to wonder how such a school produced so few Christians but wee are told there are over a billion of them.
Or are there that many?
Miserable Bastard.
