Pope & Vatican on Evolution

"Although, to be fair, you can pull this link from the Episcopal Church's website, which is a nice statement on evolution being a perfectly acceptable stand."

This is a good link and a good essay they have posted for their official position. Thanks.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has condemned the teaching of creationism in schools. In an interview with Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, Dr Rowan Williams said the Biblical creation stories do not belong in the same category as evolutionary theory.

Actually I heard that the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church made a joint declaration opposing the teaching of creationism in UK schools.
Of course both churches favor a critical contextualist approach to scripture not the literalist approach of fundies.
And are in the UK.
The problem is that the UK exported those low church separatist protestants literalist Bible nutters to the USA and they have hardly changed since the XVII century. And breed like crazy.

I don't think you know your religious history, but I appreciate your comment about the contextualist approach.

Not quite true, but yes, the USA has more than its fair share of religious fundy nutters, a bit like the Middle East.

i.e. different creed, same lunacy
