Vatican astronomer Guy J. Consolmagno, a Jesuit priest who has pioneered the field of gravitoelectrodynamics, recently described creationism as an unfounded superstition which undermines both legitimate science and theological understanding. Emphasis mine.

So a Vatican official is on record denying the divinity of scripture?

Catholics have no official problem with evolution. As for scripture, it's all in how it's interpreted.

Yes, hopefully (from the Catholic/Christian perspective), as asserting the "divinity of scripture" would be idolatry and heresy. However I don't see how anything Consolmagno said denies the divine inspiration of scripture.

A church employee. And the Jesuits have been on Planet Zongo since about 1900, anyway. My daughter tells me they have dragons living in the jungles there ...
