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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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

Receive, I pray, your fugitive, Lord, most merciful Father; by now I have surely paid penalty enough, long enough have I served your enemies, whom you hold beneath your feet, long enough have I been the plaything of deceits. Receive me, your servant, fleeing from these things, for these same things received me as a stranger when I was fleeing from you. I feel that I must return to you: let your door lie open to me as I knock; teach me how one comes to you. I have nothing but will; I know nothing except that fleeting and perishable things are to be despised, and certain and eternal things sought. This I do, Father, because this alone I know; but from where one comes to you, I do not know. Suggest it to me, show it to me, supply me provisions for the road. If those who take refuge in you find you by faith, give me faith; if by virtue, virtue; if by knowledge, knowledge. Increase in me faith, increase hope, increase charity. O wonderful and singular goodness of yours!
God, who call us back to the way. God, who lead us to the door. God, who bring it about that the door is opened to those who knock. God, who give us the bread of life. God, through whom we thirst for the drink which, once drunk, will let us thirst no more. God, who convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment. God, through whom we are not moved by those who do not believe. God, through whom we condemn the error of those who think the souls of men have no merits before you. God, through whom we do not serve the weak and beggarly elements. God, who purify us and prepare us for divine rewards, come to me in your favor.
