This is a pretty touchy issue for most old school catholics. This is because there is very little/no mention of dinosaurs in the bible (Although check out Job, it mentions a scaled land beast with legs like trees, and a massive water beast that belches flames and scare angels and no weapon can break it's hide). They also believe that Adam and Eve were the first people and after them came Cain and Abel and then eventually Noah, Abraham and so on; so it's hard for them to believe in cave men too.
Luckily some more liberal open Catholics can believe in the bible AND not ignore scientific evidence.
