"The betrayal lies in the fact that it is not the role of the Church to make judgements on the truth of scientific theories, nor is it supposed to. The role of the Church is to make assesments on matters of faith and morals and these bishops and Jesuit priests have clearly out-stepped their bounds by demanding Catholics adhere to a theory of science in order to not disuade true "intellectuals.""

The person interviewed in the article, David Byers, is not a bishop or a Jesuit priest. He is speaking his own opinions. No one else is quoted in the article. Notice that his term on the science committee ended in 2003. (I looked up the "America" magazine article noted, but it's pay-per-view.) You are getting upset over one lay person's opinion.

Yeah, that happens a lot, actually. :-)
