I didn’t know when It was okay for Catholics to believe in a billion year universe or evolution but I did tell her that we can now. She seemed skeptical.Some people think a strict creationism is old fashioned religion so of course ‘conservative’ religion has to be creationists. But creationism as we see it today is maybe 200 years old at most. There can be Catholic creationists, that is allowed, but it was never ever a requirement of the faith as it is in some Protestant groups. Creationism is not conservative. It is a new teaching. Catholics are pre-creationist, and open to good science instead of putting those anti and unscientific blinders on to be creationist.
Some people resent the Catholic Church. In her case she probably never knew that we never were creationists like she thinks.
