My initial knee-jerk reaction was to title this post, ‘What’s wrong with the Catholic church?’ because, really, what is wrong with the Catholic church! I really shouldn’t be too surprised the Vatican wants people to embrace science and the theories of man over the Truth of GOD ALMIGHTY, but the explanation given in this article is just so obviously duplicitous.

The Vatican is planning a special conference in 2009 to mark the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of the Species, Charles Darwin’s groundbreaking theory of evolution.

First printed in November 1859, Darwin’s evolutionary theories rocked the faith of Victorian Christians and are stoutly contested today by Creationists. The Vatican has traditionally backed a more nuanced approach. Three years ago, Cardinal Paul Poupard, the then president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, said Darwin’s theory of Evolution and the Old Testament book of Genesis were “perfectly compatible” if the Bible were correctly read, saying: “The fundamentalists want to give a scientific meaning to words that had no scientific aim,” explaining that the real message in Genesis was that “the universe didn’t make itself and had a creator.”

Next year’s conference will be held in Rome and organised by Poupard’s former office, the Pontifical Council for Culture as well as by the University of Notre Dame and six pontifical universities. The event, claim its organisers, is a milestone in the rapprochement between science and the Church. They say it is time for the Church to look at Evolution again, “from a broader perspective”, explaining “appropriate consideration is needed more than ever before.”

Professor Gennaro Auletta, who is head of the Science and Philosophy faculty at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and the main conference organiser told Edward Pentin of Newsweek (Newsweek Blog): “We hope this will really be an example of how to hold an open discussion without overtones. We simply wish to dialogue between people whose mission is to understand a little more.” (TimesOnline)

What is the Vatican’s agenda…for it surely is not promoting the principles and undeniable Truths of GOD? They cater to man and man’s fantasies, which means they deny GOD, for you cannot serve both GOD and mammon (Matthew 6:23-25). Consider this statement from the article: Darwin’s theory of Evolution and the Old Testament book of Genesis were “perfectly compatible” if the Bible were correctly read… the real message in Genesis was that “the universe didn’t make itself and had a creator.” Really? Does that even make any sense? Darwin’s theory of evolution compatible with GOD’s Word on creation? If ‘the real message in Genesis’ is that GOD created man and animals…then how is that compatible with a scientific theory which states that mankind originated from an animal? The Holy Scriptures say man was made by GOD in HIS own image… How can what is supposed to be the ‘bastion’ of Christian faith (I say that very lightly, of course) try to take away GOD’s power (for that is what they are doing, and trying to place the power in man’s hands)? There is only one conclusion, based on the Holy Bible, the Vatican is not of GOD. The Vatican furthers Satan’s agenda.

Romans 1:18-23

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
