EC,You can read these. If in a hurry, you can do a "find" on the word "evolution," after bringing each one up on your screen. Caution: The CCC (catechism) does not even mention evolution in its 2,800 paragraphs, because our religious doctrines do not depend on it. It is a scientific theory that can be rejected or can be accepted as reliable if proved some day.
