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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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

a big reason that i don’t like the great fish from Jonah being rendered or depicted as a whale is that i prefer to imagine the fish was only exactly large enough to swallow Jonah wherein he was compressed in the belly similar to a bloated snake after eating something very large
more visceral, more true to the sense of the story

Some very vocal commentators try to see the entire issue through this lens, appealing especially to the Catechism of the Catholic Church’s paragraph on self-abuse, almost as if the CCC was the same as Scripture, when in fact it is simply an important tool for helping to understand and to teach the Faith whose content it expresses, much like other catechisms have.

Charlotte is the most beautiful woman in the world. Charlotte is the ewig-weibliche that we get at the end of Faust. She is the eternal feminine. She is something for him to strive for; something that he wants with all his heart and soul. She is the most valuable thing in the universe. She is the center of all of creation, all of the planets revolve around her. And the difficulty is: she is unimaginably commonplace.

The only alternative—in my estimation, as a reactionary chud in the current zeitgeist—to the Evolian ‘ride the tiger’ approach that I joked about recently is the Mishima approach. That is to say: dedicate your entire being to the most incredible ancestral LARP possible. It’s not a bad approach, necessarily, and I certainly admire Mishima in a variety of ways; however, it is far more difficult to accomplish successfully (and even then the criteria for ‘success’ is muddy, as we can see with his death). Not many have the chops to pull that one off, I certainly don’t.
you say that you would go on a crusade for the Holy Father or be martyred for your faith but would you give your cloak away would you feed the hungry would you kiss the leper would you keep the commandments would you love your neighbor and yourself
perhaps one should cease wishing he lived in a time where he could ‘prove’ his faith in a way preferable to his dispositions and start looking for ways he can live his faith in the life he was given
you were born for no time except the present, as it is written: For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this?
