I recall that we had an argument about whether the Catholic church truly accepted evolutionary science about 18 months ago or so.  I hope that the apologists for the Catholic Church here note this. 

In more amusing news, this puts the fundamentalists here in a fun position, since they widely consider the Catholic Church to be 'unChristian.'  Maybe this will temper their support for 'intelligent design?'  We could only be so lucky....
