My family is Catholic and my father went to a Baptist graduate school. One of the classes he was required to take was religion classes (Baptist of course). His instructor constantly went on on the Catholic Church, saying they aren't Christians and whatnot. Evenually my Dad told him off. He ended up getting a D in the course.

It's funny how they forget that.
Although I wouldn't call myself Catholic anymore (or anything else for that matter), the one thing I think the Church got right was that they don't look at the Bible as literal truth. Instead, they see it as parables that give you guidance in life. I guess that's why Catholics are less likely to have problems with evolution.
