Again, relevant to the point I was making that belief in evolution is not against Church teaching.
Not relevent to his theory/discovery itself.
Um no, that institution has always been late to the party, they were against it long before they were for it. That same institution also took forever to accept the planet as being a globe and not flat.
Religion is forced to adapt, not because it has facts, but because it wants to remain relevant despite knowledge passing them by. But again, I am being fair because that is what all religions worldwide do. Adapt and try to retrofit rather than admit they made a bad guess.
