I gather from this that the Pope believes in Intelligent Design...

Can't say that he does:
Creationists, Intelligent Design Advocates Blast Vatican for Not Inviting Them to Evo Conference
Vatican evolution congress to exclude creationism, intelligent design
How a Catholic priest gave us the Big Bang Theory
The Sense that it is True that Six-Day Creationism is Paganism
Creationist Defends Bible-Based Science Against Vatican Astronomer's Criticism
Vatican Paper Hits 'Intelligent Design'

What I gather is no has no idea who God is.

[RJS1950]

I doubt that it is Intelligent Design so much as the concept that the origin of the universe as well as evolution ARE God’s plan and design, despite man’s interpretation of “God’s word” (Genesis). It always amazes me that man can be so arrogant as to believe that he knows the mind and will of God. God does not have the limitations that man would attribute to his creations.

Actually you would gather wrongly then. Read what the Pope actually said:

"The universe is not the result of chance, as some would want to make us believe,"

"Contemplating it (the universe) we are invited to read something profound into it: the wisdom of the creator, the inexhaustible creativity of God,"

"In the beauty of the world, in its mystery, in its greatness and in its rationality ... we can only let ourselves be guided toward God, creator of heaven and earth,"

He never actually said the words that the article's authors said. The only inference is The pope reiterated that God's plan was behind even such theories such as the Big Bang and Christians should reject the idea that the universe came into being by accident. --> now that you agree with -- whatever "theories" (namely pseudo-science) comes up for evolution, God's plan is really what is behind the creation of everything and we should reject the idea of an accident.

The way the MSM twists the pope's words is tiresomely obvious by now
