Actually it is the good people of the National Center for Science Education that are behind this. They actually provide the text of many of the statements these organizations have made as well as making the lists you provided in your post at:

Pagano replies: Here papa fox57 (mis)leads his reader's to believe that the detailed statements from each and every group supports: 1. good science (whatever papa fox57 might mean by that) 2. the teaching of evolution 3. and opposition to teaching creationism in the public schools. This is not the case.
Papa fox57 lists two documents from the Roman Catholic Church below from 1981 and 1986. Neither of these documents say anything about supporting good science, neither of them say anything about supporting the "teaching" of evolution, and neither of them say anything about opposition to creationism in the public schools.
Furthermore these documents are records of addresses which the Pope gave to the members of Pontifical Academy of Sciences not to the Roman Catholics of the world. Academy members are advisors to the Pope and chosen by the members themselves not by the Church. Many of its members are not even Catholic.
In the 1996 Address referenced by papa fox57's link, Pope John Paul II endorses----in whole----Pope John XII Encyclical, "Humani Generis," which was critical of the misuse of scientific theories (treating theories as known fact as neoDarwinism is) and critical of evolutionism (polygenesis predicted by darwinism is contrary to Catholic doctrine) and placed constaints on the "study" of evolution.
Finally paragraph 245 of the Second Edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church written for the members of the Church as doctrine and promulgated under the same Pope John Paul II states, "[Creation] is not the product of any [material] necessity whatever, nor of blind fate or chance." The very opposite is taught in most schools. That is, Big Bangism and Evolutionism teach that law and chance are solely responsible and no appeal to the Creator is necessary.
Does the Catholic Church support the current method of teaching purely naturalistic evolution, does she support science guided by Naturalism, and is she against the teaching creationism? Uneqivocally no. And if papa fox57 gets this so terribly wrong wonder how many of the other organizations don't support what he claims.

Then lets try:
The Church is always interested in research concerning the knowledge of the universe, whether physical, bilogical or psychological.
It is only through humble and assiduous study that it learns to dissociate the essential of faith from scientific systems of a given age, especially when a culturally influenced reading of the Bible seems to be linked to an obligatory cosmology.
The age-old relationships between the Church and science have brought Catholics to a more current understanding of the sphere of their faith, to a sort of intellecutal purification and to a conviction that scientific study deserves a commitment to unbiased research which is, in the final analyisis, a service to truth and to humanity itself.
We would add that the Church recognises with gratitude all that it owes to research and to science.

Though the Academy chooses its members, they must be approved by the Pope.

But does not forbid the research the study of evolution, from within those constraints.

A silly question. If it did then it would pretty much be saying it wasn't needed. OTOH, it does state that scientific and revealed truth flow from the same spring. (This is not to say that evolution, the subject of this group, can be fully accepted as a scientific "truth.")
> and is she against the teaching creationism? Uneqivocally no.
It, along with the rest of us, waits for a scientific creationism.

This from someone who argues from a theological standpoint, but can't seem to figure out how theology is done.

Interestingly, to my knowledge, not one of these groups has tried to modify its statements in order to minimize the "misinterpretation" that is often claimed by 3rd parties (e.g. commentators from the fundamentalist right) who like to pretend that the groups don't really accept evolution.

I'm used to Pagano's posts having numerous errors, and once again he lives down to his reputation.
> Papa fox57 lists two documents from the Roman Catholic Church below > from 1981 and 1986. Neither of these documents say anything about > supporting good science, neither of them say anything about > supporting the "teaching" of evolution, and neither of them say > anything about opposition to creationism in the public schools.
Well, about these and the rest of Pagano's claims, let see what some of the actual text of the document has to say:
"In his Encyclical Humani generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII had already stated that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation..."
"Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, fresh knowledge has led to the recognition that evolution is more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favour of this theory."
There is also further discussion of the conditional support for science and evolution. To make a long story short, while the physical body may be of this world, there must also be room for man's soul. Since science does not delve into the spiritual, there is no conflict. There is further discussion of philosophy and theology, which is of course irrelevant to science.
Is this sufficient for now Pagano? Or would you care to make an ass of yourself with the remaining 100+ organizations?
