Just read that
Réginald Marie Garrigou-Lagrange,
O.P. (1877–1964) was a French
Catholic theologian and that he is
said to be the drafter of
Pope Pius XII's 1950
encyclical Humani generis, subtitled "Concerning Some False Opinions Threatening to Undermine the Foundations of Catholic Doctrine".
He means allowing false opinions 'Threatening to Undermine the Foundations of Catholic Doctrine.'
In his 1992 Galileo commission speech, Pope John Paul II said this:
8. Another crisis similar to the one we are speaking of, can be mentioned here. In the last century and at the beginning of our own, advances in the historical sciences made it possible to acquire
a new understanding of the Bible and of the biblical world. The rationalist context in which these data were most often presented seemed to make them dangerous to the Christian faith. Certain people, in their concern to defend the faith, thought it necessary to reject firmly-based historical conclusions. That was a hasty and unhappy decision. The work of a pioneer like
Fr Lagrange was able to make the necessary discernment on the basis of dependable criteria.
He talks about Long-ages, and evolution making it possible to understand the Bible better.
God help the Church.
