Catholic Response!
Is Genesis a Myth or Historical?
Modernist Biblical Scholars either Catholic or Protestant, propagate their belief that the Genesis account of creation are consciously planned narratives taken from ancient Mesopotamian creation narratives. The New Jerome Bible Handbook is guilty of this liberalistic interpretation of the Genesis account.
In Mesopotamian culture, the model for most of the stories in Genesis 1-11, scribes explored beginnings through stories, not through abstract reasoning. . . The biblical writers have produced a version of a common Mesopotamian story of the origins of the populated world. The New Jerome Bible Handbook, page 16
Not contented in endorsing their liberal views, they now turn their attention to the traditional view of Genesis and criticized it.
Some readers even end up concentrating on defending a "literal interpretation" of chapters 1-3, in particular, against modern evolutionary theory, something that the ancient authors of Genesis, with their tolerance of different versions, would never have done. Ibid.

PROSTRATION AT THE CONSECRATION
And More on Adaptations for Infirm Priests
ROME, FEB. 8, 2011 (Zenit.org).- Answered by Legionary of Christ Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university.
Q: I was at Mass at a local pilgrimage site and was concelebrating a Hispanic pilgrimage Mass. The teenage altar server was dressed in a cassock and surplice. When the celebrant reached the epiclesis, this altar server stood up and walked out in front of the altar. He paused for a moment with hands folded and then prostrated on the floor during the entire consecration. Is there any rubric for prostration, outside ordination, in the ordinary rites of the Mass? -- P.N., Huntsville, Alabama
A: I have never observed this posture for acolytes at any Masses, Hispanic or otherwise, and can only suppose that it was either an act of personal devotion or a restricted local custom.
