...even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,...
2 Peter 2:1
So what does Catholicism teach about Angels & Creation?.....APPARENTLY they (1) teach that angels were created "simultaneously with the big bang"..???.... (2) That fallen angels were involved with the supposed process of evolution on earth..???...WHAT?!?!?...so in other words...to get around the problem for theistic evolution-that of how could there be pain, suffering & death before the fall of Adam- they apparently claim the fallen angels intervened in the supposed evolutionary process and caused it...
"....the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church) adopts what we could call a mild form of theistic evolutionism.....the CCC tells us, quoting Lateran Council 1V. “God, from the beginning of time
made at once (simul) out of nothing both orders of creatures, the spiritual and corporeal, that is the angelic and earthly, and then the human creature, who as it were shares in both orders, being composed of body and spirit” (n. 327).
The word simul suggests that the angels were made simultaneously with the big bang, if that is indeed the way everything began.... When created “the angels did not find themselves in heaven with God (what the theologians call caelum sanctae Trinitatis); they found themselves in that other ‘heaven’ which may be called the highest part of the natural cosmos” (p. 274)....What these passages seem to suggest, above all, is that in God’s original plan of creation, as the CCC describes it, the angels were to have much more than a supervisory role, and that when some of them fell He did not remove their power to influence the evolutionary or transformative creative process, anymore than when we act badly He removes our power to affect the historical process."
