"The Pope’s comment in no way invalidates Scripture. And it’s meaningless what his opinion is on any matter to non-Catholics."

"We are obliged to yield many things to the Papists--that with them is the Word of God, which we received from them; otherwise we should have known nothing at all about it."- Martin Luther

I don’t recognize the authority of the Pope over anything but the Catholic Church or Catholics.

I don’t recognize the claimed succession of popes that the Catholic Church teaches was handed to Peter, as I think their Scirptural support for that position is weak, and there’s nothing in the books that Peter wrote that refer to it.

Tradition is not equivalent to Scripture in authority or importance.

So it’s still irrelevant to me what the Pope has to say about evolution and the creation account in the Bible.
