The amusing thing is, popes have declared evolution compatible with theology since 1950, so Francis' position is nothing new. The political writer in the article implies Pope John Paul II said differently...but John Paul in fact reaffirmed evolution is compatible with theology.
Important and/or interesting political articles that often don't make the headlines but are worth a look.
