Stomach Pains

Well, this is not a happy post guys. I'm admittedly not a fan of the Catholic church, but this has dropped my respect even further, I'm sorry to say. Not long ago, the pope (who had kept silent regarding evolution) finally made a statement on his (and consequently Catholicism’s) view on it. I literally became sick to my stomach reading the Reuters article which details briefly how the pope supports "theistic evolution". I was unaware that the Catholic church has been promoting such a view, but now that it is being released in articles it will have a larger impact on both Catholics and those who keep them in high regard.

Quote: "In the book, Benedict defended what is known as "theistic evolution," the view held by Roman Catholic, Orthodox and mainline Protestant churches that God created life through evolution and religion and science need not clash over this."

I realize that theistic evolution is a growing trend among churches and with it my outrage. Their is not room for "half-truths" such as this. It doesn't matter that a few extra hearts or minds can be "won for Christ" when they are in fact not being won to Christ at all. They are simply being appealed to in a manner acceptable to them. I'm sorry, but that is wrong on all counts. Do not compromise the system God built for any man!

Just look at what troubles an theistic evolutionist “Christian” must face that a Bible believing one does not. (Separated into the following post.) They are just a few of the many hurdles theistic evolutionist “Christians” must face to grapple with the truth.

-That God did not create in billions of years but instead 7 days time.
-That Gods account of creation is not to be meddled with.
-That without the supernatural creation as an absolute in their lives, the Christian understanding and ability will grow weak and ultimately fail. (Such a failure is not a reflection of God, but of men.)

How the pope, supposed head of Christendom, does not see this is beyond me. Then again, I do not believe he is the head of Christendom, but a man in a system build in much the same way theistic evolution is now being created. (Excuse my hostility please. This is as a life or death matter to me and from where I sit many more will die because of this recent action on the popes part.)
