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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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 think ive found the limit, i even got the system to reverse its position on something by pushing it hard enough, but it still refuses to concede the conclusion which is interesting
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence we fly unto thee O virgin of virgins my mother, to thee do we come to thee we stand sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer us amen.

similar to the metaphysical differences between men and women, a lot of things from Scripture and the underlying theology of the Church ceases to make any sense when one does not understand the relationship between Christianity and Judaism
this is partly why the schools were so important: having a holistic system with which to view the faith is necessary to not constantly undermine the very foundations thereof
as Saint Thomas says: a small mistake in the beginning is a big mistake in the conclusion

one does need to inquire about exactly why God ordained that the papacy be stripped of its temporal influence; the answer may not be very comfortable though

i really should make up my mind in whether i should be studying theology proper or just go back to being a church history guy; this whole eclecticism thing with no rhyme or reason is bothersome

also John of Montenero performing an 8 hour straight scholastic disputation at one of the sessions of Florence and destroying Mark of Ephesus so badly that Mark didnât even show up to the rest of them
This is one I read a while back in Maritainâs biography of Saint Thomas:
King Saint Louis IX would often have Saint Thomas Aquinas join him when he hosted dinner parties. One day while in the midst of dining Saint Thomas slammed his fist on the table and shouted âI have finally found the argument that will destroy the Manicheesâ (or something to that effect) and the saintly king immediately ordered his servants to get quill and paper for Saint Thomas to write out his thoughts.
