Your source is a secular news paper article? Even if everything in the article was true, and I have my doubts, the fact that one Bishop went off the rails doesn't mean that he is giving the De Fide teaching of the Church. The Church is far more than one Bishop or even a group of Bishops. If you read the article, I think you'll find that the Bishops are reminding people the Scripture is the story of Salvation and that is what we should focus on.

BTW, the official teaching of the Church is quite clear on Scripture: it is the word of God, true every word. If there is conflict with what we perceive, it is our understanding, not Scripture that is in error.

From Dei Verbum

Therefore, since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings (5) for the sake of salvation. Therefore "all Scripture is divinely inspired and has its use for teaching the truth and refuting error, for reformation of manners and discipline in right living, so that the man who belongs to God may be efficient and equipped for good work of every kind" (2 Tim. 3:16-17, Greek text).

Then why does the RCC teach evolution if the Bible is true?

Why didn't the Pope correct the Bishops who say the Bible is not true?
