Thomas L. McFadden published his book "The Evolution of Catholic Unbelief" in April of 2019. He argues that the mass exodus of the Catholic youth leaving the Church is due to "Science." In other words because the Catholic Church has been teaching theistic evolution exclusively since Vatican II its young people especially are deciding that science gives a better explanation for their origins than the Bible. He draws much of his thinking from the Catholic priest Victor P. Warkulwiz and his book "The Doctrines of Genesis 1-11." Ironically the Popes Pius IX and X warned the flock of the great danger of modernism. They along with the Magisterium warned that evolution had become the main carrier of modernism. Despite these many warnings the Church fully embraced theistic evolution after Vatican II which then precipitated the exodus from the Church that we now see.

McFadden also draws on the research of sociologist Dr. Christian Smith of Notre Dame University to confirm his belief that the main reason for this exodus is the teaching of theistic evolution by the Church. Any normal person, uncorrupted by the deception often found in "higher education" realizes that evolution and creationism cannot both be truth. The Adam of Evolution simply can not be the same exact Adam of Genesis. St. Paul chastised the false teachers of his day for preaching a different Jesus and therefore a different gospel than he preached. Today he would probably rebuke the false teachers of today for teaching a different Adam than what Jesus and the Apostles taught and preached.

Peter Helland reads from John Fletcher, the successor to John Wesley of the the Methodist Church in England. Fletcher wrote in his book "American Patriotism Farther Confronted" in 1776 that the American Patriots were following the evil principles taught by the false teachers in England. The number one heresy was the false teaching that authority does not come from God or Jesus Christ but from the people. They had forgotten that all governmental authority derives its authority from that power that came from God and originally abided with Adam. By not fully honoring Adam and recognizing who he really is in relationship to governmental authority we are losing our way and our identity.
