Do Catholic schools teach theistic evolution in their science curriculum?
I was talking to a woman yesterday who goes to and used to work at, the LCMS church I belonged to, about their believe in a young earth and refusal to accept evolution. She said that even Catholics teach the same as the LCMS does. I told her she was wrong and that, as a matter of fact, Catholic schools teach theistic evolution in their science classes. Now I’m wondering if I was correct or not.

I went to a Catholic college, although I didn't take science courses there, I know for a fact they taught evolution in their science courses. Also, the RCC does indeed accept theistic evolution and the Big Bang. We are very pro-science.

My pastor said that he “thinks” they teach it there, so I asked another pastor/priest from another church I sometimes go to but haven’t heard from him yet. I called the archdiocese but she didn’t know and referred me to the principal at out church school who never really answered my question. She emailed me and said that they “tea hit in some way” but the term theistic evolution can mean a few different things and shes wondering what exactly I mean. I wrote her back but probably won’t hear back until tomorrow.
