I'm not sure what is so hard to understand. Yes, his work as a scientist and his work as a priest were 2 separate vocations. The fact that he could be both things at the same time without compromising each position shows that the Church takes no issue whatsoever with the acceptance of evolution. There is no conflict between the 2. That's the point.
While it might not be a problem for individual Catholic's, it does present a conflict with the creation story in the book that the religion presents as the word of god.
