Bishop Schneider’s CREDO #156 | Blogger Priest

Our Blogger

Fr. Joseph Jenkins
An important theme for this blog is the scene in the New Testament where Jesus can be found FLOGGING the money-changers out of the temple. My header above depicts a priest FLOGGING the devils that distort the faith and assault believers. The faith that gives us consolation can and should also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Bishop Schneider’s CREDO #156

Posted on November 1, 2023 by Father Joe

Despite the quotation made by Bishop Schneider, the assessment of evolution made by the late Pope some seventy-three years ago in 1950 is not reflective of the current evidence that substantiates the development of species. The main points for Catholic teaching remain that God is the Creator, there is intelligent order or design and that while the body my evolve, the soul is immediately infused by God at conception.

Pope John Paul II in 1996 stated at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences that new research revealed that physical evolution was “more than just a theory.” Pope Francis stated in 2014 to this same academy that “God is not… a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life. Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
