The Pope said no such thing. He said that scientific theories which deny the Word of God and attack the spirit of man are contrary to the faith and therefore untrue. He was describing evolution perfectly. It is not for nothing that those words came at the end of the end of his statement.

He said exactly that. He just failed to consult with you before he said it ... not knowing that you are the ultimate arbiter of science and faith. Go back and read the whole statement. Everyone on the face of the earth (except you), is capable of understanding that the Pope says evolution is not contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Of course, his definition of evolution is not quite the same as yours. He must be wrong. You might consider dropping him a line and setting him straight.

The Pope DID SPECIFICALLY SAY that evolution does not contradict Scripture. Read the relevant link that has been posted dozens of times on these threads. Once in awhile you need to read and understand what is being presented.
