5:47 In 1920, Institut catholique de Paris, a Jesuit writes an article in I think Dictionnaire de théologie catholique.

Some credit a Calvinist with inventing the Framework Theory in 1924, but Father Mangenot SJ came very close, so close as to make it basically 4 years before the Calvinist.

In the article, he does look back on previous theories. They had been, YEC, Day-Age, Gap Theory, and Catholics had with imprimatur or imprimi potest defended each of them as late as 1896, a time at which Framework theory was unknown (at least except for people condemned or in one case a man self censoring to avoid condemnation). It's clear Framework theory is not the Catholic tradition, and it's clear it originated in Paris.

1920 minus 1896, that's 24 years. 1920 + 24 = 1944. A time at which sexual abuse was already ongoing.

Sometimes sodomy cries out for God's vengeance. But sometimes it is (see Romans 1) God's vengeance for idolatry. I would say, a man not crediting God with creating Adam individually and without biological ancestry, is implying things about God that just don't belong in Him, a cruelty far worse than a teacher abusing Henk Heithuis (from 1950, the year of Humani Generis, one widely made acception of which was not "teach the controversy" but "believing Evolutionary origins of Adam is definitely OK" which is not what Pius XII stated).

2019 (Notre Dame Fire) - 1950 (Humani Generis) = 69 years.

Contrairement à son prédécesseur, Emmanuel Macron est très intéressé par les questions religieuses. Ni athée, ni vraiment pratiquant, le président de la République est "un objet spirituel non identifié".

From an image caption:

Emmanuel Macron n'est plus sûr de croire en un Dieu mais croit en la transcendance.
