	The Doctrinal Authority of Papal Allocutions
		There is an authoritative papal statement, according to the text of the Humani generis, whenever the Sovereign Pontiff takes the trouble to issue a decision on a point which has hitherto been controverted, and inserts that decision in his own "Acta." Basically, such a decision is made in one of two ways.
		Thus, according to the clear teaching of the Humani generis, it is morally wrong for any individual subject to the Roman Pontiff to defend a thesis contradicting a teaching which the Pope, in his "Acta," has set forth as a part of Catholic doctrine.
		The Humani generis must not be taken to imply that a Catholic theologian has completed his obligation with respect to an authoritative doctrinal decision made by the Holy Father and presented in his published "Acta" when he has merely refrained from arguing or debating against it.

	Creation Rediscovered, Chapter 13 - The Position within Catholicism - Part Two
		Nine years later, in the encyclical Humani Generis, Pius XII not only expressly forbade the teaching of Evolution Theory as though it were already proved, but he also instructed that data pointing both for and against Evolution Theory must be given due consideration.
		His encyclical Humani Generis (dated August 12, 1950, and appropriately subtitled, On Certain False Opinions Which Threaten to Undermine the Foundations of Catholic Doctrine) was issued in response to the danger posed by evolutionists (such as Teilhard de Chardin) who were pushing pantheism.
		Humani Generis was misrepresented to convey the widespread impression that belief in Evolution is now accepted officially by the Magisterium.

	THE POPE AND EVOLUTION THEORY, by Peter Wilders
		Pope Pius XII wrote « Humani Generis » to expose the inherent dangers of evolution theory.
		It was not until 1953, nearly forty years after its discovery, and three years after « Humani Generis » was published, that the fossils were found to be a fakes.
		This charge is serious because the information withheld was urgently needed by the Popes since Pius XII to comply with the stipulation in ’Humani Generis’ « that the reasons for and against either view must be weighed and adjudged with all seriousness, fairness and restraint ».

	Pope John Paul II Declares Evolution to be Fact!
		"'Humani Generis'," he stated, "considered the doctrine of 'evolutionism' as a serious hypothesis, worthy of a more deeply studied investigation and reflection on a par with the opposite hypothesis.
		"Humani Generis'," he stated, "considered the doctrine of 'evolutionism' as a serious hypothesis, worthy of a more deeply studied investigation and reflection on a par with the opposite hypothesis." (He is commenting on paragraph 36 of the encyclical)
		In this summary of Humani Generis, John Paul II has just reduced the biblical six day creation (the opposite hypothesis) to mere theory, and elevated evolutionary science to be on a par with it as an equal possibility to be considered!

	Evolution: What the Pope Said
		In 1950, Pope Pius XII indicated in his encyclical Humani generis that the idea that God used evolution to create the body of the first man did not contradict the deposit of faith provided certain provisos were maintained.
		"In his Encyclical Humani generis [1950], my predecessor Pius XII had already stated that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation, on condition that one did not lose sight of several indisputable points (cf.
		All Humani generis gave was a tentative finding that it did not contradict the deposit of faith, but it said the question must still be investigated and that the Church could reverse its tentative finding.

		However, the Church asserts that God has been involved in the world and the direction of any material evolution that might have occurred, and that God is involved in the special creation of the human soul.
		Humani Generis, Pope Pius XII, 12 August 1950 - This is the papal encyclical that states that Catholics are free to accept evolutionary explanations for biological diversity and the origin of the human body.
		But, as in Humani Generis, the pope does not explicitly support either a evolutionary or creationist origin for material biological diversity and asserts the divine creation of the human soul.

	Thesis 17: The whole human race stem from one human pair (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Pope Pius XII in Humani Generis (1950) proclaim what today we would call the doctrine of monogenism, or the descent of the entire human race from a single human pair-- Adam and Eve.
		The Biblical Commission (Decree of June 30th, 1909, D 2123, RSS page 123) states "the oneness of the human race" as pertaining to the very foundations of the Christian religion and therefore, the literal historical sense of Scripture on which this doctrine is founded, is not to be called in question.
		And the teaching of Humani Generis (1950) warns Catholics, in no uncertain terms, against pollution by this error.

	Polygenism
		It is important to note that the Holy Father’s recent statements regarding evolution were his opinions, not part of the Ordinary or Extraordinary Magisterium, as they were not addressed to the universal Church.
		Humani Generis (Pope Pius XII's Encyclical of 1950), on the other hand, is part of the Ordinary Magisterium, and so does carry much more weight.
		Besides that, it does not seem that the Holy Father directly contradicted any of the the fundamental teachings in that Encyclical, but simply gave a more positive outlook on Evolution than the Encyclical did (which also said that it was not heretical to believe in Evolution).

		I have sometimes imagined that a history of modern thought could be written by simply filling in the background and drawing out the inferences of various papal encyclicals.
		It is a remarkable distillation of sanity in the midst of madness, a clear light which cuts right through the intimidating fog of false philosophies (a fog declared by its makers to be not only impenetrable, but even worse, inevitable).
		This is because a work like Humani Generis presupposes a faith which professional thinkers seem by and large to have lost: faith that philosophy is indeed capable of achieving its own end.

	Evolution and Catholic Dogma
		What in fact Pope John Paul said was merely a reiteration of what Pope Pius XII had said in 1950 with the publication of his Encyclical letter Humani Generis.
		"Humani Generis, considered the doctrine of evolutionism as a serious hypothesis, worthy of a more deeply studied investigation and reflection on a par with the opposite hypothesis.
		In Humani Generis Pope Pius XII basically said that the concept of evolution was not in and of itself completely inimical to the Catholic Faith.

	Evolutionism or Teilhardism?
		Then the Pope quotes Pius XII's encyclical Humani Generis which does mention evolutionism; as well as his own speech (Oct. 31, 1992) to that same Academy of Sciences - an address in which no mention is made of evolutionism, but of...Galileo and biblical exegesis.
		It is, therefore, in any case, and for many reasons, quite inexact to speak of "two discourses" of the "Church's Magisterium" on the themes of evolution and the origin of life.
		In his encyclical Humani Generis" (1950), my predecessor Pius XII had already declared that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of Faith concerning man and his vocation, providing that certain basic points be kept well in mind (cf.

	Evolution and the Magisterium (This Rock: January 2004)
		Following the release of the Humani Generis, many Catholics—including high-ranking churchmen—gradually got more comfortable with the idea of human evolution.
		After the discoveries of modern biology and Humani Generis, it took a while for many Catholics to get comfortable taking these passages in a less literal sense.
		In the most controversial passage of the address, the Holy Father stated: "Today, almost half a century after the publication of the encyclical [Humani Generis], new knowledge has led to the recognition in the theory of evolution of more than a hypothesis.

	The Derailment of Einstein - Part 1
		These teachings of Pope PIUS XII on both the study and teaching of science span a period of 9 years, from 1948 to 1957, and are contained in one encyclical, Humani Generis of 1950 and in 9 addresses, one before the encyclical, in 1948, and eight since its appearance.
		What ever other necessary curbs and pruning had to be made are found there, and they lie sprinkled over all the other major addresses and speeches.
		But before Einstein’s theories can be held up against the detailed teachings contained in Humani Generis and its 9 corollaries, it is first necessary to gather together in an orderly overview the ingredients used for the compilation of this document.

	LT72 - EVOLUTION AND THE TRUTH ABOUT MAN
		Pope Pius XII, in Humani generis, spoke also of "that sound philosophy," which, "acknowledged and accepted by the Church, safeguards the genuine validity of human knowledge, the unshakable metaphysical principles of sufficient reason, causality, and finality, and finally the mind's ability to attain certain and unchangeable truth.
		Historical facts pertain to concrete historical events, and what Pope Pius XII pointed out in Humani generis (no. 8b above) was that the idea (historical hypothesis) of a development of the human body from pre-existing living matter of any kind was not "completely certain and proved by the facts," that is, by the historical facts.
		It should also be noted that, if materialist observers were to witness today the divine creation of a new biological species, they would tend to explain it as a spontaneous natural generation.

		If you read the Encyclical Humani Generis by Pope Pius XII of happy memeory and chapter 25 of Lumen Gentium (ie the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church from VCII) you will see that such a document promulgated in this way is indeed infallible.
		Nor must it be thought that what is expounded in Encyclical Letters does not of itself demand consent, since in writing such Letters the Popes do not exercise the supreme power of their Teaching Authority.
		6) Lumen Gentium Chapter 25 provides the watershed understanding of the doctrine of infallibility and completes the work that VCI was not able to deal with in 1870 and which Pius XII dealt with partially in Humani Generis.

	Catholic Theistic Evolution vs. Six-Day Creation: Reply to Robert Sungenis
		Pius XII did not say that evolution was a “serious hypothesis” and neither did he say that a six-day Creation (the only other option) was an “opposing hypothesis.” The only time Pius XII uses the word “hypotheses” is in a caution against allowing the assumptions of science to determine truth.
		Sungenis: Pius XII neither said that evolution is “worthy of investigation” or “in-depth study,” since those words are not found in the encyclical Humani Generis.
		Today, almost half a century after the publication of the [Pope Pius XII Humani Generis] Encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition of more than a hypothesis in the theory of evolution.
