Catholics believe in evolution.

• TeMPOraL 4y ago
  Yes, and the Christian denomination (or at least what they'd like to consider themselves as) I was raised in would point at Catholic Church and laugh at its spiritual weakness, seeing acceptance of evolution as a compromise in both senses of the word.

    Sounds like a skill issue on their part.

  It is optional though and not endorsed - more like has not been clearly denounced. Even then the publication used for permitting believing it advises caution.

  I wouldn't use "believe" in the context. Catholic church does not specifically endorse evolution, but it finds no conflict between scientific concept of evolution and its teachings. I would call it "acceptance". Many small Pentecostal and evangelical churches gain a lot of media attention thanks to their conservatism, fundamentalism and obscure views. Fortunately, they do not constitute the majority of Christians worldwide (at least not yet).

  Catholics aren't hardcore Bible literalists.
