Here is a compilation of various resources for Catholics and other Christians to begin digging into the perennial beliefs regarding the historicity of the creation story laid out in the First Book of Moses. A lot of this was originally sourced by Gideon Lazar but I have tweaked some things and added imbedded links to all of the works cited. This is not a finished product and will continue to be a work in progress. I hope that people find this interesting and helpful.

Pontifical Biblical Commission
The commission was granted explicit papal approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura). The rescinding does not retroactively make the previous issued decrees non-binding but merely removes that prerogative from further decrees by the commission. Much of the decrees are only available in Latin and Italian but the first 50 years are in English here.

i had at one time posted that Hebrews was written by Paul but transcribed into the Greek by Luke; Fr. Cano gives this as a possibility as well but also adds that some believed the transcription came via Pope Saint Clement, rather than Luke

It is the grace of God flowing down to him through Mary, the mediatrix of graces. But this grace is also mediated by the whole of the ‘Jerusalem above’, by the community of the saints—who were and are entirely real, historical human beings—from whose midst arises a multitude of helpers, guides and intercessors of whom, in his own way, expresses the community of love in its totality. Beatrice, formed by God as the poet’s eternal beloved, has, without doubt, the same degree of reality as the other saints. Here is no allegory or symbol; here we are simply dealing with the laws of the Communion of Saints.
This fact constitutes the foundation of the Divine Comedy, which is, therefore, not just one of the transcendental adventure stories of the Middle Ages. From Dante’s point of view the journey through the three realms is two things at the same time: first, the history of his redemption from perdition, his progressive realisation of what it is to be a Christian—and second, his discovery of how his first and deepest love can become, in a Christian way, truly eternal. For Dante these two are one. The possibility of man’s fulfilment existentially demands eternal life.
The key to the whole journey, as Virgil says to the poet, is to be found in Beatrice: ‘When thou art before her sweet radiance whose fair eyes see all, thou shalt know from her of thy life’s journey.’
