List of Catholic creationist organisations

This is a list of Roman Catholic creationist organisations.

Circle Scientifique et Historique

Circle Scientifique et Historique (CESHE), was founded in 1971 in Belgium to preserve and disseminate the work of French scholar Fernand Crombette,[1] whose works include 38 volumes and two atlases that deal with geography, the Flood, astronomy and the pre-history of Mediterranean peoples. In 2008, an English-language affiliate was established in North America.

Daylight Origins Society

The Daylight Origins Society is a recent Earth creationist organisation based in the United Kingdom with ties to both the Traditionalist Catholic movement and conservative vernacular Catholics. The stated aims of the Society are "to inform Catholics and others of the scientific evidence supporting special creation as opposed to evolution, and that the true discoveries of Science are in conformity with Catholic doctrines."[2][3] According to the British Centre for Science Education, which maintains a list of anti-evolution groups, the Daylight Origins Society, "doesn't appear to cooperate at all with mainstream creationist groups which are all basically Protestant, calvinistic and evangelical," and that "as far as [they] can make out, it is not very active."[4] The Daylight Origins Society was originally founded in 1977 by John G. Campbell as the Counter Evolution Group. His origins science magazine was relaunched in 1991 under its present name,[2] as a branch of CESHE.[5] The current secretary of the Society is Anthony Nevard, a retired school teacher living in Hertfordshire.[6] Polish academic and Member of the European Parliament Maciej Giertych is an honorary member of the Society. The Society have a website and issues a quarterly Catholic creationist journal titled Daylight, published beginning in 1977 by Campbell, and after 1991, published and edited by Nevard.[7] Its writers have included Giertych[6] and it has reprinted works by historical Christian authors, including G. K. Chesterton and C. S. Lewis.[2] In 2010 they launched a techni-colour cover edition of Daylight, and the magazine is still in print today (2015).
