I have a problem with evolution because I do not believe the evidence supports it. The evidence that should exist to prove evolution has, as far...
I didn't see it happen...what was supposed to happen?
As far as losing an argument goes I was not aware that I had lost one. I didn't jump into this thread defending the Italian Inquisition. The...
If you wanted to really get a good point in against a Catholic I would suggest you hammer away at Limbo. I think the Church has backed off of...
Good Lord, man. You introduced the word "dogma" into this discussion. FACT I went back to look and find in post #367 you used the phrase...
What was the second one?
Here is a good article on the subject. In it two Catholics are debating geocentrism, Galileo, etc. Long but interesting:...
I grant you that the official's use of the word heresy is incorrect, at least to my mind. It is unclear to me why they used that language. I am...

Yeah, obviously I saw that after I had posted. I have already posted my answer regarding Galileo. The Holy Office is not authorized to establish...
