No, the pope is not a theistic evolutionist. To be an evolutionist one has to accept the synthesis of Julian Huxley and others, which postulates the randomness that the pope rejects.

Hence my point that he is a "theistic" evolutionist--one who believes that evolution is guided by Divine Providence. But he still rejects the facticity of the first eleven chapters of Genesis.

I thunk it boils down to this: how factual is the evolution narrative and does it conflict with the facticity of the Bible narrative? To answer this, we would have to know what each story says. Do we? If so, do we know the whole story or not? How do we acquire such knowledge? Is it with our power to do so?
