I don't believe you answered my question regarding "the truth about man"!

So what I read here is that physical evolution isn't a problem for the Church; and man's spiritual nature is a whole separate issue, which theology claims for itself. Personally, I have no problem with this at all.

From the link you provided which is an English translation from French, in your opinion, is the Pope:

  1. Endorsing evolution
  2. Endorsing special creation
  3. Not taking either side

I haven't said my motto in awhile: context is everything.

Whatever you do, please do not think I'm saying or endorsing anything in particular here.

I really made an effort to answer your earlier question, and I went way out of my way, even to including the guts of the Galileo matter, to put it all in context for you. I shall try once more to answer the question you just raised:

I think the Pope is accepting the theory of evolution regarding man's physical nature, and is asserting special creation for man's spiritual nature.

Whatever you do, please do not think I'm saying or endorsing anything in particular here.

Not a problem.
