From The American Scene:
Every papal statement on the subject of evolution (and these have no binding force over Catholics, and never will) over the last century has been generally favorable to the theory, albeit with caveats. Schonborn's op-ed took those caveats a bit further, into intelligent design territory, which to my mind was a mistake. But are we really going to disqualify an American Catholic from the Supreme Court because a Viennese Cardinal wanted to attack Richard Dawkins?
