First of all as far as I am aware most western denominations believe God==Christ.

Secondly the article was about CATHOLIC schools an CATHOLICISM is the largest Christian denomination (as far as I’m aware).

All I was pointing out was that Catholicism, the religion of the schools in question does not go against science and the church has never gone against proven science in any instance I’m aware of (feel free to correct me but even with evolution I’m pretty sure the church itself never denied it).

People that try and use a book indented for spiritual guidance as a factual textbook are idiots but they do not speak for the majority of Christians. As such the argument was a strawman argument which was what I pointed out.

Yes because it’s not like the Catholic church has established for around a millennium (don’t know the exact dates) that the book bible is NOT a science textbook. In the words of Galileo “The intention of the Holy Spirit is to teach how one goes to heaven, not how the heavens go.” But sure you keep on beating that straw man because that definitely contributes to real theological and scientific discussion.



The problem with the bible, a problem that most non radical Christians acknowledge, is that the Old Testament was written my dozens of authors and has been translated hundreds of times. All the bible is is a collection of the writings of those who claim to speak for God and parts of he Bible are likely lost in translation or affected by the agenda and personal beliefs of the writer. One interesting homily that has stuck with me was about how few people can fully embrace the message of God/Jesus and simply change their perception of it to match the current beliefs.

Unfortunately, this means that the most reliable sources in he bible are the gospels, which (as far as i am aware) are all primary of close secondary sources. Of these, Luke’s, one of the most accurate, actually advocates for social justice, minorities and female rights. Most parts of the Old Testament are only used as a rough history guide and not so much as a moral compass for Christianity.
