Well I think he has shouted to his church "Wake Up! This and This and This are non negotiable doctrines! If you don't like it, here's the door." Now his audience has to choose: will they be Roman Catholics? Or will they be something else, perhaps another flavor of Christian? I am not claiming the Pope is right about all this stuff, by the way. Even the "infallible" stuff. But I just don't see him touching evolutionism in any meaningful sense other than a general bully pulpit. Any more than I see the Pope joining a Southern Baptist Church.
He wants the Southern Baptists to join him, and from the praise the Pope now gets from so-called evangelicals, it won't be long.
