  • Is anyone here old enough to be able to say he/she went to a Catholic school in the 50's? What did they teach in the science class? Creation? Evolution? Universe/Earth billions of years old?

  • Great question.  I would be interested in knowing the answer myself.

  • My father went to parochial school in Dallas from 1938 to 1950, then to St Edwards university 1950-53.  His teachers were nuns and priests.   I asked him. He said 'evolution and the old Earth, exclusively'.

    I have no opinion about this, neither does he, it's just his answer to your question.

  • Yes, interesting question.

    All the way from 1938?

  • My parents went to public school in the 60s and they say evolution was never taught to them.

  • I'll ask, but I presume beginning in high school.  I also should be able to find out the name of the order.  Will ask when visiting next week.

    Everyone knows about Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Emperor's New Clothes." But does the box above contain a passage from its unpublished sequel "The Emperor's New Comment"?

  • An older Traditionalist told me that the nuns at the school he attended as a young boy were teaching evolution in the 1940's.

    The Modernists were well entrenched and acting out publicly well before their beloved Council.

  • I was at the Holy Ghost Fathers Blackrock College in the 1950s. I cannot remember whether they actually taught evolutionary science, but I left school in 1960 at 18 as an long-age evolutionist and heliocentrist which leads me to believe that was the standard school position at that time and now.

    In 1990 I was still a Copernican long-age evolutionist. An American gave me a few books on creationism to read. It took me 20 minutes of reading to see I had been indoctrinated in evolutionism. I was very angry. Then another American told me if I think I was duped into evolutionism, a by-producr of Copernicanism, wait until you study the Copernican fraud. Ten minutes of that and THE TRUTH MADE ME FREE of false science.

  • I didn't do much evolution in the 1970s and 80s.  But then I didn't take O'level biology, just did it as part of science class to the age of 13.  

    I did Physics and Chemistry.  Biology was mostly for girls at my school.

  • A quote from the тαℓмυdists master plan, docuмent, "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" that touches on the OP's topic:

    "It is with this object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press, arousing a blind confidence in these (scientific) theories. The intellectuals of the goyim will puff themselves up with their knowledge and without any logical verification of them will put into effect all the information available from science, which our agentur specialists have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their minds in the direction we want.

    Do not suppose for a moment that these statements are empty words: think carefully of the successes we arranged for Darwinism, Marxism, Nietzsche-ism. To us Jєωs, at any rate, it should be plain to see what a disintegrating importance these directives have had upon the minds of the goyim."

  • Well then, if theistic evolution was already being taught in the schools under Pius XII, what does that say about him? How is that possible?

    I used to think I would use that as an argument against the Novus Ordo, the fact that they teach theistic evolution, but now I see it will bite me from behind.

    I know Novus Ordos who oppose theistic evolution even and that they complain about evolution all the time and say how it's false etc. I used to think, well, I'll tell them to their faces that their "church" teaches it in its schools and universities etc., to their own children no less, so they can see that this is a false church.
