Has the pope gone mad?

[abaris]

Even with his "endorsement" of evolution, he has to crowbar in a god for no reason to distort the real science into fitting his theology.

It's a bit much to ask from a pope to not make the god claim.

He's moving that old wreck just a little bit, which is much more than can be said about his predecessor. And to see that the Catholic league and Bill Donahue desperately trying to spin his every word, gives me some pleasure. Obviously they feel threatened, even by the small steps he takes.

It's just like the soviet Union and Gorbatchev. If you drill just a little whole in the doctrine, all bets are off. The infights are already starting.
