    Male and Female He Created Them

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! One of most painful experiences of my life has been to watch people in positions of authority use their power and influence to bully truth-seekers into submission to their institutions’ cherished myths.  More often than not, decision-makers have been so thoroughly indoctrinated into myths like “molecules-to-man evolution,” that they sincerely…

    Fr. Victor Warkulwiz on De Koninck

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Glory to Jesus Christ! One of the most influential modern Catholic advocates for the reconciliation of the molecules-to-man-evolution hypothesis with the Catholic Faith as set forth by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologica was Charles De Koninck (1906-1965).  Dr. De Koninck was a Belgian-Canadian Thomist philosopher and theologian, and the director of the Department of…

    Dear Friends of the Kolbe Center, Pax Christi! On several occasions in recent years Catholic academics have criticized the Kolbe Center for allegedly holding an inconsistent position in regard to the use of scientific evidence to support the traditional literal historical interpretation of the sacred history of Genesis.

    Mr. Hugh Owen, Director The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation To whom it may concern, As a Byzantine Catholic, catechist and chastity educator, I would like to express the sincerest gratitude to Hugh Owen for his presentation on the Church’s teaching on special creation and would recommend him to speak for any other parish or group. His expertise on the teachings received from the Apostles through the Early Church Fathers is a gift to the people of faith the world over.
