hi Miss H,
I think you're right for the mainstream Catholic Church. I know that in my Catholic school we were taught that evolution was the way people and modern animals came to be. We did learn the Creationism story too, but learned it as a bible story/myth, even in religion class.There was never any confusion about it -- we were very scientifically driven and noone really "believed" that the Genesis story was the way man was really made.
But I think that people who are "Creationists" truly DO believe that the creation story is THE story, and that evolution is just not right -- it can't be, if the creation happened the way the bible says it did.
So I think there is a big difference between the majority of Catholic churches and the Creationists.
I could be wrong too, so please, correct me if I got it wrong! :)
thanks,
JenStar
