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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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.

Does birthright citizenship go against Catholic social teaching?
I’m not qualified to answer that and I would say it’s probable that one could be for or against it and still be in line with some form of licit political theory. Depending on the reasoning behind why one feels the way they do on the matter, which is important of course. I do think this paragraph from the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church is interesting though:
The rights of nations are nothing but “‘human rights' fostered at the specific level of community life”. A nation has a “fundamental right to existence”, to “its own language and culture, through which a people expresses and promotes ... its fundamental spiritual ‘sovereignty”', to “shape its life according to its own traditions, excluding, of course, every abuse of basic human rights and in particular the oppression of minorities”, to “build its future by providing an appropriate education for the younger generation”. The international order requires a balance between particularity and universality, which all nations are called to bring about, for their primary duty is to live in a posture of peace, respect and solidarity with other nations.

opened up a ticket over a month ago to fix the HVAC at my pharmacy and they still havent been able to come fix it and now there’s a heat wave so my ambient temp is setting off alarms for being too high and i keep getting calls from corporate about it and there is literally nothing i can do except run the fans that have already been running at max 24/7 for over a week now
I find it a little bit ironic that the exact type of people who make out Catholicism held humanity back for centuries and use "Dark Ages" and "Medieval" as by words for savagery and stupid were the exact same ones who jumped on the Pope's speech on AI and magically interpreted it as a condemnation. So apparently they want the Church to be anti-tech now.
They just want everything to be what they like at all times regardless of what reality is.

one time i posted a list of authors for each book of the Old Testament pulled straight from Saint Isidore and a girl on here told me “that’s actually the protestant belief, not Catholic” and i still get mad every time i think of it
A nation (gens) is a number of people sharing a single origin, or distinguished from another nation (natio) in accordance with its own grouping, as the ‘nations’ of Greece or Asia Minor. From this comes the term ‘shared heritage’ (gentilitas). The word gens is also called on account of the generations (generatio) of families, that is from begetting (gignere, ppl. genitus), as the term ‘nation’ (natio) comes from ‘being born’ (nasci, ppl. natus).
