The Church doesn't "support evolution." It doesn't discount it, but it says that NO MATTER the mechanism for our being here, GOD did it. It was divinely inspired, divinely instituted, and divinely guided. So if it was us evolving from primordial ooze, God arranged it. If it was us appearing under cabbage leave, God did it. The Church has an interest in Truth, and a fuller understanding of God's creation is the surest path to truth. There is evidence to support evolution, just as there are arguments to diminish it. Point is, even if we hatched from giant eggs in the middle of the ocean, God did it.
As for "I don't believe we'll be judged by our church affiliation, but by our faith in and relationship with Christ," I agree. Christ said He is the way, truth, and light, and no one can go to the Father but through Him. I see that as (if you will forgive the analogy) Jesus being a bouncer for Club Heaven--He says who gets in or who has to go down the street to Studio 54.
Well, then you are disputing this story from the very first sentence which states: "The Roman Catholic Church has restated its support for evolution with an article praising a U.S. court decision that rejects the "intelligent design" theory as non-scientific.
The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said that teaching intelligent design -- which argues that life is so complex that it needed a supernatural creator -- alongside Darwin's theory of evolution would only cause confusion..."
What other conclusion can I come to than the RCC wants evolution taught to school children but nothing that might conflict with that theory because it would "cause confusion"? Whether you want to call taking such a stand "supporting evolution" or not, I would certainly conclude that it is. Of course, they are free to espouse whatever beliefs they want. On this one, I disagree.
