"He stresses that the theory of Intelligent Design diminishes God into “an engineer who designs systems rather than a lover.” "
I am an engineer and a lover too.
It must be God that is diminished, since, buy your words and the statement above, you are above him.
Make love, not flagella.
Well, since clearly I am not above God, another conclusion is warranted.
As I said, I am an engineer and a lover. Hence, the Vatican director is wrong to imply that one can be an engineer or a lover but not both.
And he is wrong to imply that God is diminished by being called an engineer. What's better than being an engineer?
