We have a new pope now, Pope Benedict XVI. Both, really terrific men. Here's a bit about both of them:

“Further, he (the Pope) seems to be cautioning those who have been claiming Church endorsement of the full-bodied, design-defeating version of Darwin's theory of evolution, which, after all, is often little more than philosophical materialism applied to science,” added Chapman.

Chapman noted that in his very first homily as Pope, Benedict XVI had rebuked the idea that human beings are mere products of evolution, and that, like his predecessor, John Paul II, the new Pope has a long record of opposition to scientific materialism.

That's nice. I was asking why the authors of the article you linked (William S Harris and John H. Calvert) deliberately misquoted what Pope John Paul II said about evolution to make it appear that the late Pope had said,

" "theories of evolution...are incompatible with the truth about man."

This is a lie. He was talking about theories of evolution that preclude the existence of the soul. He was perfectly willing to accept the evolution of the physical body. The authors of this article bore false witness against the leader of their own Church. Why should I take anything they say seriously? And why did you evade this and bring up what the new Pope has said? We were talking about this article and it's veracity.
