"Ravasi said it this way: Creationism belongs to the strictly theological sphere and could not be used ideologically in science.
First of all, thank you so very much for completely avoiding the point I made. It really gives me confidence. And second of all, your splitting of "truth" into "scientific" and "theological" spheres gives the lie to the common theistic evolutionist slogan that "all truth is one."
"Reason" simply refers to the internal consistency of thought. It does not assume naturalism, uniformitarianism, or any other such thing. One may begin with the uniformitarian assumption and create a worldview that is 100% reasonable. One may also begin with the assumption that Genesis is literally and historically true and accurate and create a worldview that is just as reasonable.
The use of the word "reason" as an antonym for "science" is in error.
Contact the Vatican press office and maybe you can get them to issue a correction.
