This is very far from the pope's statement and Catholic teaching.
Some seem to try to force a false choice: science or religion. Even with good intentions this has bad results.
“159 Faith and science: “Though faith is above reason, there can never be any real discrepancy between faith and reason. Since the same God who reveals mysteries and infuses faith has bestowed the light of reason on the human mind, God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever contradict truth.”37 “Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are.”
The humble evolutionist that proclaims a bag of bones is half human, half ape and that both arose randomly from a slimy pool is in no conflict with “faith” since he, in the words of the catechism, “...is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself,....”
Of course.
“This is very far from the pope's statement and Catholic teaching.”
So you say but it appears to me you understand neither. Maybe you can explain further.
