You say Rome doesn't believe in "theistic evolution" (6,000 year creation time period), and yet look at what this Catholic Answers Web site has to say:
Creation and Genesis
You'll need to quote the website (which can't speak for the Catholic Church anyways) before I can address it.
Basically, it puts more weight in to what the early church fathers have to say, than what the Bible says. Again, tradition trumps Scripture. It clearly states in Genesis 1, over and over again six times: "And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.". What marks out days now and then? Sunset and sunrise.
So called "bible literalism" doesn't mean your interpretation of scripture is the right one.
When people say they pay attention to what the bible says, to "what is plainly written" they show a vast depth of ignorance. What is means is they take an English interpretation of the bible and filter it through their understanding of language and culture. For example, when the bible talks about "the world" westerners commonly think of the planet- when they had no concept of the planet when the bible was written.
[quote[Regarding Paul identifying the Papacy as the Antichrist: The Reformers who were almost all former Catholics who came to believe that the Papacy was the "lawless one" that Paul mentions in II Thess. 2. This is the same person that Daniel and John saw in vision and wrote about as well. One who would exalt himself, would persecute God's true people, and would seek to change God's laws and trump himself up to be like God on earth. The Papacy is a perfect fit, with over 1,500 years of solid evidence to back up the claim.[/QUOTE]
Except it was the Reformers that changed things by combining Islam with Christianity.
