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approval as authoritatively binding by Pope Saint Pius X in 1907 (Praestantia Scripturae) until that authority was rescinded by Pope Saint Paul VI in 1971 (Sedula Cura).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

But those matters which, in the faith, are not necessary for individuals as such, but pertain to the common good of the Church, are not immediately known by good men simply because they possess some spirit of God and anointing. For if it were proposed to a simple little woman whether the accidents in the Sacrament of the altar exist without a subject, although she may be holy and just, there is no need that she be taught this by the anointing. But if you should ask her whether Christ shed his blood for our sins, this indeed will be taught by the anointing, since God does not deny the faith necessary for salvation to one who does what is in their power.
Go back to the roots and build your future from the roots where the sap comes from: you do not deny the history of your Fatherland, do not deny the history of your family, do not deny your grandparents. Search for your roots, search for your history. And from there, build the future. And those who say to you: âYes, the national heroes are already in the past or they donât make sense, now we have to start all over againâ ... Laugh in their face! They are clowns of history.

Love for oneâs country is love for a mother, we call her âMother Landâ, because we are born here, and she teaches us, as every mother does, to walk, and she is entrusted to us so that she may survive for future generations. This is why I wanted to begin with this reference to the Mother, to our motherland. If you are not patriots â not isolationist patriots â real patriots, you are not going to achieve anything in life. May you love your land, young men and women.
If that comment on charity was based on my earlier ask, I don't think I meant to be mocking them, more expressing incredulity at why SSPX. or anyone, would do that, and more importantly why people online criticize Leo's reaction to it.
That said, I do think that I haven't really considered fully the implications on the souls of the people who were excommunicated for that and thank you for reminding me to do that. I will be praying for them and for God to heal the Church.
it wasnât about you i just didnât get to your anon yesterday because i had, arguably, the worst day of my life and didnât want to type out a whole thing
iâm sorry if i made you feel poorly, it was not my intent, you didnâtdo anything wrong
I know this is a very foreign mindset to most people, and Iâm really not trying to piety signal here, but the Protestant idea of denominationalism will never make sense to me. You can call it irrational or sticking my head in the sand or whatever but genuinely I would have my skin peeled off and be thrown into boiling water before I ever left the Catholic Church.

if there was someone who you believed was in extreme danger of having their soul lost for all eternity and your reaction to that is mocking rather than praying for them with all of your might then you simply donât have the supernatural virtue of charity, full stop
Guys, a Christian religious group isn't Protestant simply because it is not in union with the Catholic or Orthodox Churches. The SSPX isn't Protestant.
The sole characteristic that all Protestant communities have in common is the denial that there is a specific worldly institution that can be identified as the Church that Christ established. The SSPX doesn't believe that; it does believe that the Catholic Church was established by Christ, but that there is a grave dereliction of duty by the current hierarchy.
The SSPX isn't Protestant. The Jehovah's Witnesses are not Protestant. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are not Protestant. They all believe that there is an institution that is to be rightfully identified as Christ's visible Church on earth.

Maybe Iâm too dumb to get it butâŚI used to be Baptist, converted to Catholicism when I âfound outâ that Catholicism was true, vs Baptist Protestantism being false. Is this saying that converting was a bad thing?
