Catholics Clearing Up Their Beliefs
Thank goodness, a high-ranking Catholic has finally cleared up in public what the Catholic Church thinks about evolution:
Finding Design in Nature (linking to the FR page because it has a large excerpt, and the full article requires login)
Basically, while I wish that they would go further in endorsing the Biblical account, they have clarified that they are not materialists, and that a purely material theory of origins is unacceptable.
While this is not an "official" word from the Church, much of it is simply restating and clarifying the things the Church has said over the last 50 years. And he apparently has the blessing of the pope to write the article.
