To be incredibly specific, it isn't catholicism (or any form of christianity) that's incompatible with evolutionary biology. It's book worship that's incompatible with evolutionary biology. This isn't exactly surprising, book worship is incompatible with reality, that it doesn't mesh with some very specific part of reality is just a trickle down consequence of that.
but look at what is hidden even from the church!! the church and Judaism has always seen creation a certain way. and here just by changing the traditional view we have something that can assimilate know fact. without changing a word. On one hand we had something that the ancients needed and again just by looking at all the elements with an open mind we now have everything a scholar would also need to believe
