The Vatican sides with Darwin

Important news, my people. The Vatican sides with Darwin!

“But we also know the dangers of a religion that severs its links with reason, and becomes prey to fundamentalism,” he said.

“The faithful have the obligation to listen to that which secular modern science has to offer,” he added, “just as we ask that knowledge of the faith be taken in consideration as an expert voice.”

Seems like a fair enough trade. I promise that when I need an expert voice on matters of faith I will listen to experts on matters of faith. Now if y’all would be kind enough to slap the shite out of the Protestant fundies for us…
