Well then, el Pope would be el wrongo:

http://www.icr.org/article/53/

( 1) It contradicts the Bible record of creation. Ten times in the first chapter of Genesis, it is said that God created plants and animals to reproduce “after their kinds”. The Biblical “kind” may be broader than our modern “species” concept, but at least it implies definite limits to variation. The New Testament writers accepted the full historicity of the Genesis account of creation. Even Christ Himself quoted from it as historically accurate and authoritative (Matthew 19:4-6).

(2) It is inconsistent with God’s methods. The standard concept of evolution involves the development of innumerable misfits and extinctions, useless and even harmful organisms. If this is God’s “method of creation”, it is strange that He would use such cruel, haphazard, inefficient, wasteful processes. Furthermore, the idea of the “survival of the fittest”, whereby the stronger animals eliminate the weaker in the “struggle for existence” is the essence of Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, and this whole scheme is flatly contradicted by the Biblical doctrine of love, of unselfish sacrifice, and of Christian charity. The God of the Bible is a God of order and of grace, not a God of confusion and cruelty.

(3) The evolutionary philosophy is the intellectual basis of all anti-theistic systems. It served Hitler as the rationale for Nazism and Marx as the supposed, scientific basis for communism. It is the basis of the various modern methods of psychology and sociology that treat man merely as a higher animal and which have led to the misnamed “new morality” and ethical relativism. It has provided the pseudo-scientific rationale for racism and military aggression. Its whole effect on the world and mankind has been harmful and degrading. Jesus said: “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit” (Matthew 7:18). The evil fruit of the evolutionary philosophy is evidence enough of its evil roots.

God created viruses too. They evolve by mutation, and can be mighty prickly.

Correct on all points. Welcome to the remnant! The Pope is, to be polite, an imbecile, a fruit parading around in his silken embroidered robes overseeing a vast network of pederasts and heretics masquerading as pastors, bishops and cardinals. I love the whole cardinal deal—princes of the church, and the pope-vicar of Christ, a heresy and an abomination.

But, God is sovereign. God will sort this all out. The Pope will not like it very much.

"It contradicts the Bible record of creation."

Then the book is wrong.

"It is inconsistent with God’s methods."

You mean it is inconsistent with what you think God's methods are.

"The evolutionary philosophy is the intellectual basis of all anti-theistic systems..."

Your history and philosophy are wrong, but that's all beside the point that none of it has any bearing on whether evolution is actually true.
