I wonder if any students needed a "safe" space back then. When I was taking my daughter to different law schools the dean was showing us "safe spaces". I said safe from what and he said unkind words. I thought how in the heck are these kids going to deal with life.
This is a neat upload. It's refreshing too. I could almost listen to Archbishop Sheen's delivery all day long. As for the video, I like the neat visual effects to pair with each syllable of the audio.
Did anyone else understand him to acknowledge that he believed in human evolution from lower organisms. He goes in to say that our ability to art and laughter is not evolved but that the body may be evolved from lower organisms. The bible says the human beings soul was breathed into dirt/clay formed by God. I find no other reference to this as a stance by bishop sheen but i am a little discouraged if my understanding is correct. Did I misunderstand him?
He's wrong on evolution. God made man out of the dust of the earth. Creation is described in the bible as a 6 day event not a blind evolutionary random act of chance. Sin through man's disobedience brought death into God's creation before sin there was no death. With the so-called theory of Evolution death is the driving force. Everything must die before it can advance are a new and better creature. Also God said that everything is finished, and it was good, random mutations only makes things worse.
I really don’t understand evolution in light of Genesis. How do we even begin to reconcile science with Scripture? Unless it’s a condensed creation of the world narrative, which sits fine with me, I suppose. I’d love to know more about what Catholics taught pre-Modernism.
The encyclical _Humane Generis_ states we must keep in mind we were created by our Creator. Whether it was a literal dust of the Earth to man or dust to a set of micro life to bigger creatures to man, is not the principle of chief importance. The document of doctrine disagrees with the thought we were made out of sheer chance. Archbishop Sheen held that view we were created by God and humanity was delivered, through procreation, by our first parents Adam & Eve.
