My theology on the intersection of faith and science is nearly indistinguishable from the current and previous Popes; both of whom have acknowledged the strength of the theory of evolution.

Well, that settles it! The Pope is certainly the authority. (should I add the /sarcasm?) Your faith is in your church. My faith lies in the Blood of Christ, the ONLY Intercessor.

We disagree, and no, I don't wish to get into a discussion about how your church is the only one. There are lot's of those claims, too. Evolution can easily be explained within the realm of the Roman theological view. Creation can be easily explained within the realm of faith.

2 Tim 2: 10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

You speak to the point - your faith.

Faith is not science and never has been nor should it ever be. Faith presumes and is therefore not objective. Do not be so naive as to think that because you believe something is false (or worse arrogantly assume to know the will of God) that it must be.

Leave science to us scientists.
