Creation, Evolution, and Reported Papal Statements.

This is just one in what seems to me to be a long line of "STOP THE PRESSES! POPE FRANCIS STATES LONG-HELD CATHOLIC TENETS, BUT SOMEHOW WE ARE AMAZED!" stories.

I expect journalists to do at least a LITTLE research, and given that the Roman Catholic catechism is all there in black and white, I'd think it would be relatively easy. Oh, well . . .

I know, right? I mean next, they'll be trying to tell us that evolution is taught in Catholic schools.



Oh, wait.

Differences in doctrine and teaching of various Christian groups is completely lost on too many journalists. Too often, the press just doesn't get religion.

SO true! I can't understand why he is considered so controversial or new and different. He hasn't created anything new (that I'm aware of). I guess he's just bringing to light to established tenets that people have overlooked for one reason or another.
