The Vatican/Catholic Church has almost been bending over backwards in recent decades to distance itself from the American religious right. Its not the reason for releasing such a statement, but it may have been a consideration.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

That and the Catholic Church doesn't teach that the Bible should be taken literally, word-for-word--they're saying that they do not see a conflict between traditional, non-atheist evolutionary theory and the teachings found in Genesis.

A couple of years ago one of our parishoners, a prominent physician in the community, hosted a session of the adult religious education class about "scientific creationism". No one showed up.
