The problem is that EWTN and the Roman Theological Forum are not official arms of the Vatican. The International Theological Commission, of which the current Pope was chairman before his papacy, is. And the document "Communion and Stewardship" , so maligned in the above material, is an official Vatican document, signed off on by the International Theological Commission. And it takes IMO a more favorable view of evolution than is presented by Harrison or EWTN.

Even within the Anglican Communion we have our share of ignorant parishioners.

Oh, the RCC has its share of creationists and even geocentrists. There have to be a few anomalies in a population of a billion. Fortunately they have no official standing, their protestantions to the contary notwithstanding.

Re: Official Position and Unofficial
Points well taken. The dichotomy would indeed be a whole different topic. Maybe you can formulate it ?
