This pope only knows about evolution because of the science done by people who were fought tooth and nail by the church.
And in the process of changing the official church dogma to finally kind of catch up with common fucking sense, he's diminished their god.
This is one of the many problems with religion. When you explain unknowns with the magical hand of the gods, eventually science proves out.
And now this pope comes along and is like "hey guys, evolution is prolly ok by me (and therefore by god)" and we're supposed to what? Swoon?
