What will Newt say? Do you think he'll have to change religions again?

Oh, and as to the far-right: why would the Catholic Church go along with this "hoax?" What do they have to gain? (A legitimate question when one considers what that self-same church had to gain from the Inquisition, et al)

Oh! Oh! I know! It is the Catholics who own the pig-tailed light-bulbs! No? Oh, well.....

That is exactly my take on

In reply to The Roman Catholic church

That is exactly my take on this. I have written blogs on this subject. The RCC Bible--American Version--never takes a line from Genesis and confirms the literal claims therein. Never.

The Jesuits and others involved in Bible study take great pains to discuss the sources of these stories in terms of 4 different oral traditions....

Metaphor is the message.

And although reproductive rights as well as a complete ban on abortion bothers me greatly, the HRCC has decided to cease its previous attacks on science. Hell, Pope Pius XI was enthralled by the Big Boom theory.

To the Catholic Church, IMHO, human beings were given dominance over this earth and its fruits and damnit, dominance brings with it responsibility!

the end

The Roman Catholic church

The Roman Catholic church learned their lesson with the Galileo thingie.Granted, they still have a few nits to pick with science, but overall they mostly learned their lesson (where science=a god given gift.). But the kind of Republicans you are talking about never had much respect for those damn papists anyways.
