[quote:2wkc8kbt]The Catholic view from my reading is that one is not required to believe in a six day/ 24 hour creation, nor the timeline of the Sciptures as being literal, only that had God desired it to be so, He could have done it that way. The Church conversely does not condemn a literal interpretation of the story of creation.[/quote:2wkc8kbt]

There is good standing catholics who hold to a literal interpretation and they are afforded that freedom in the bossom of the Chruch.[/color:2wkc8kbt]
