The Catholic Church supports evolution. Catholic Schools teach evolution. The Pope's statement could hardly be more clear in its support of evolution.
It is only with regards to human spirit and soul that Evolution fails. And, depending what you mean, evolutionary scientists would agree.
Nothing in your post comes as any suprise to me, and is usually covered in some detail in any substantial treatment of the topic. Sorry, but there's nothing new to me here.

"From my research I still conclude that the Roman Church does not support the theories of evolution but accepts the Biblical account of creation."
I'm sorry, but the current pope's opinion couldn't be more clear: He believes evolution is overwhelmingly supported by the evidence. As to the older documents, they are superseded. I'm baffled that you think there's any question on this matter! Read what the man says! And yes, he means "macroevolution".
