Debunking Evolution: The Traditional Catholic Perspective

Ave Maria! In this pre-recorded Tea with Mary show, we are joined by Dr. Marco Fasoli, a lay Catholic scientist who has devoted much of his time to the study of the relationship between faith and science, especially with regards to evolution and the Catholic doctrine of creation. In this video, Marco draws from the writings of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, as well as the Church's Magisterium to explain why Catholicism and Darwinian evolution cannot be reconciled.

The content presented is undeniably exceptional, a testament to the evident dedication poured into gathering essential information complemented by well-supported quotations. The intricate topic of evolution, often a source of perplexity and conflict for me in light of the book of Genesis, has been illuminated with remarkable clarity through this discussion. It has not only resolved my own doubts but has also inspired a fervent belief that all Catholics should be enlightened by this truth through proper catechesis and share this enlightenment with others.

Moreover, the careful selection of individuals with the appropriate background for these discussions, all aimed at fortifying faith, is both admirable and praiseworthy. Radio Immaculata, your unwavering commitment to spreading knowledge and fostering spiritual growth is truly commendable. Rest assured, my prayers accompany you steadfastly on your journey. Ave Maria!

Thank you so much for clarifying this information. It needs to be heard by all catholics around the world. Bless you both for the courage to proclaim the truth!
Christ is King and Mary is the Immaculate Heart.

Such and important point about the character of God - how easy it is to get this wrong with our own limited nature and all the heresy around us. . Thank you for this beautiful talk

Thank you! Many years ago I had a wonderful Catholic video on creation narrated by an old Catholic priest with a long, grey beard and a German or eastern European accent and I lost it long ago and can't find it on the internet. Part of his name was Maria in honor of Mary, and the video dealt with the process of sedimentation and also why the literal story of Adam and Eve was essential to understanding why our Lord was crucified for our sins. If you know what video I am talking about I would love to find it again. Bless you!

As an atheist, I was a die-hard evolutionist. Now that I am Catholic, I don’t actually care if it’s true or not, and I reserve judgment on account of my lack of education on the subject.

[stephendufort]

That was enlightening, wow! Just wish u would have cover the CCC, ?

Darwin hated and was angry with God because his beloved daughter died and he wanted revenge against God for her loss.
You can easily look this up

Of course it is possible to reconcile Catholicism with evolution. Pius XII writes clearly that in this matter the sons of the Church have freedom, but they do not have it in the fact that there are only two parents. In Ludwik Ott's dogmatics published in 1952, he writes clearly that evolution could have occurred. And this textbook has been accepted and enjoys great authority

The evolutionists are constantly chanting the mantra 'we have thousands of pieces of evidence for evolution; it is a fact now.' Me: 'show me just ONE of your thousands of pieces of evidence'. Evolutionists 'ahhhh

Fossils dating has identified organisms that lived millions of years ago. If so, the world has existed for millions of years. What's your take on this?

[vjqzbrl]

30 minutes in and all evidence to prove creationism is simply opinion from the Saints, Hierarchy of the Catholic Church, and Church Fathers. This does not refute evolution, when evolution has hard physical evidence.

[LyndseyWard-os]

does it not say in your holy book that the moon is a source of light, is this true ? .... if so why does it look different from day to day almost as if it were reflecting the light of the Sun

Just in order to save you an hour and 30 mins of your life... this video only addresses the apparent conflict between the Revealed data and the evidence for evolution in a particular attack to the only view that seems to reconcile both, theistic evolution. It does in no particular way engage in the scientific facts for evolution, namely many branches of moderns science among which we find paleontology, genetics, cosmology and geology... they say just one thing about geology, to be honest. Evolution comes up uncontested as a scientific fact after this video, and since it only points to the conflict between our faith and a scientific fact that they do not envolve with... our faith ends up being a fable that contradicts scientific facts... in order to be a Catholic in good stance you would have to be pretty much a dumb anti-scientific, which ends up leading many to athiesm. Also, this does only address Magisterial documents prior to evolutionary discoveries and exaggerates its Magisterial weigh, lifting to dogmas things that on their own do not contain a condemnation of the denial of the proposition, which is what a dogma is, when at the same time leaves out of the frame other Church claims that approach much more to the Evolution.

And here lies and he lies the problem with belonging and depending on a cult to make your decisions for you. And then you say you’re looking to mother Mary to give you the answers? Good God they have your heads twisted so far from the truth that you wouldn’t know it if you saw it.
