Good one, Drich. To use your favorite irritating response:
In every country and every age, the priest had been hostile to Liberty.

Although they reserve the right to have it somehow God guided and with souls etc., certain aspects of the doctrine are severely constrained by that. First and foremost, since the purpose of Jesus depends on original sin and hence on Adam and Eve as first couple, this central piece of dogma is completely at odds with evolution. Does anyone know how they officially reconcile that? Contradiction with acknowledged reality only presents a problem if one has scruples and feel uncomfortable with ad hoc explanations. Any guidance given to evolution might have been divine, but was appearently not inspired enough to give self-important monkey's in funny hats scruples and discomfort with ad hoc explanations. 
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

There are several things the Catholic church believe that doesn't make sense, how they reconcile that belief with the scriptures is beyond me. You would have to ask some official in the church to explain it to you. I on the other hand will stay with a literal reading, because it makes complete sense. GC
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
