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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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

Hi, as a fellow christian, albeit protestant, that loves Madoka Magica:
Did the way the show used themes of religion resonate with you?
Which girl did you like/relate to the most?
Why didn't you like the rebellion movie?
Hey! Yes it did, though I think I would have enjoyed the show regardless. The Japanese are good at weaving strangely Christian themes into their stuff.
Best girl is Homura for me, hands down. Which is also tied into why I didn’t like the Rebellion movie. I think they did her character dirty and undermined the entire motivation behind her actions in the show.
Been thinking a lot about love lately, and it’s interesting that although caritas and agape technically mean the same thing (divine love, a supernatural love), they have different connotations in my mind. It’s doubtless because ‘charity’ has taken on a different meaning in everyday English, but when I think of agape I am very much impressed by the selfless, disinterested nature of that love, while caritas brings to mind the way that this love reaches out to others.
Again, both mean the same thing, but agape makes me think about this love’s nature, while caritas makes me think about its expression.
I was under the impression that caritas denotes the synthesis and the perfection of the four loves (agape, eros, philia, and storge) into one expression

there is a fine distinction between making prudent decisions based on risk analysis and allowing fear to dictate your decisions, and i’m not entirely sure where the line is drawn (i just know that there is a line, and crossing it is bad)
