its not a new thing for catholic's to be allowed to believe in evolution, its not saying god did not create the world after all just dismissing the 7 day creationist story which protestants have to adamantly believe.

Some people totally don't understand the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism .
Protestants rely on the bible as a literal interpretation because that's all they have to represent their religion.
From the beginning the catholic church was created by theologians, that compiled
a bible(incomplete scriptures).
From the beginning the catholic church had atheistic, biblical skepticism as the foreground.
(What people don't tell you is that theologians that founded the church were just as aware of atheistic arguments, as most people are today.)
Catholism gets a bad rap, because there are lots of old uneducated folk around that wouldn't know the first thing of theology.
On top of that the church obviously suffers from corruption, which is what happens when your the longest established institution on this planet.
The problem with the catholic church is it's unable to translate it's complex theology to your average church goer.
Which is why the church is so flimsy on stuff.
The church really is poorly understood, and could easily with a bit of political muscle be one of the more important institutions on the planet.
