ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVOLUTION. A view of human origins that believes that the human species gradually evolved from a lower animal organism. This view may or may not be part of a larger hypothesis, e.g., monistic or cosmic evolution. If separated from such hypotheses, it is tenable on Catholic grounds provided that: 1. divine providence is recognized as having specially directed the evolutionary process, 2. the human soul is held to have been uniquely created by God. |

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
