about this site
Catholic Sensibility is a personal blog by a Catholic layperson with comments and occasional other writings by Catholics and non-Catholics. We make no particular claims to have the completeness of a Roman Catholic expression of Christianity. It contains opinion, interpretation, and personal musings. That’s it. Nothing official or authoritatively connected to the Magisterium.

Bury the Hatchet
This year, his position is more sensible and appropriately balanced. Here’s the CNS link, plus a timely quote:
‘Perhaps it was too much crafted with a hatchet,’ he said.”
Since an individual hatchet is not likely to evolve, perhaps one might say this change is more indicative of intelligent design.
Pope Benedict’s reunion with some former students will tackle the question of “Creation and Evolution,” as John Allen (and others) have reported. One critic of John Paul II suggests that an Enlightenment mentality has infected certain writings. I’m not surprised at the claim. I’d claim that modern thinking saturates much of the American Catholic Right today. Some folks might be farther adrift from a traditional Catholic sensibility that they suspect. Liturgical neo-rigorism would be one trait suggestive of this.
