You could ask allmendream to back up his assertions about the Pope's beliefs with quotations (in context.) Allmendream has said, for example, that "The Pope... think[s] that we came from apes by natural selection of random variation"

From my limited knowledge about the Catholic church, I believe they accept intelligent design not Darwin's theory. I think allmendream is making it up, it would not surprise me in the least.

How wrong (and rude) can you be?

But (Pope) Benedict (XVI), whose remarks were published yesterday in Germany in the book Schoepfung und Evolution (Creation and Evolution), praised scientific progress and did not endorse creationist or “intelligent design” views about life's origins, the Herald says.

“The process itself is rational despite the mistakes and confusion as it goes through a narrow corridor choosing a few positive mutations and using low probability,” he (Benedict) said.

“This ... inevitably leads to a question that goes beyond science ... where did this rationality come from?” he asked. Answering his own question, he said it came from the “creative reason” of God.
