As a boy in high school I remember being heavily criticized for being a “creationist” and not an “evolutionist”. I was taught Fides et Ratio (JPII 1998) “Faith and Reason” in Life Teen (written in the spirit of Vatican II as you note) and it shone light into the darkness of the “science and technology” mindset. Faith (Genesis) and Reason (stages of small evolution) can coexist. And now NASA’s WMAP (big bang theory map) even proves there was a Creator! Very well written blog. The Holy Spirit writes these encyclicals as the times require and Fides et Ratio gave much clarity this public school boy when I needed it at the lunch table.
