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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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

Syntagma III. Theogony, or the Architecture of the Gods. In it, [the work] treats variously and at length of the origin of Egyptian superstition , and of its propagation as carried out to the Greeks and Romans; likewise of Osiris, Isis, Apis, Serapis, Canopus, Horus, Harpocrates, Typhon, Mithras, Ammon, and the rest of the Egyptian Divinities; and finally of the ceremonies and rites instituted in their honor, and the worship of beasts: where it is openly shown that the idolatry of the Greeks and Romans received its first foundations from the Egyptians.
Do you think a lot of the mental health problems we have today are caused by the decline of Christianity in the West? They had the promise of eternal life and the meaning of suffering ripped from them, so now it's easy to think everything is meaningless. For a people to go from believing they were all so independently important and loved that the literal creator of the universe died to save them, to being told they were a glorified ape on a rock in the cold emptiness of space and death was eternal, is a lot for a mind to lose.
Yes, certainly. Ven. Fulton Sheen talks a bit about this in Peace of Soul, albeit mainly in terms of modern psychology studies.

Hello. I have a prayer request that might come across as silly so I hope you don't mind. You see I have a problem with the block function on all my blogs. There's a glitch where they only properly block someone up to a certain date, and everyone beyond that is on a temporary basis. If I then unblock someone by accident, or go a week without blocking anyone new, everyone I blocked after that date is mass unblocked in one go, and that's like a year's worth of people that I had to keep adding to in order to keep the rest blocked. So every few weeks everyone who's bullied me is suddenly able to access me again and I have to keep checking and then re-entering the same names over and over. I tried asking Staff but they just say they can't see a problem their side. Could you please pray for it to fix? Thank you.
