Vatican sides with Darwin

"A Vatican cardinal said yesterday that the faithful should listen to what secular modern science has to offer, and warned that religion risks turning into ''fundamentalism" if it ignores scientific reason.

Cardinal Paul Poupard, a Frenchman who heads the Pontifical Council for Culture, made the comments at a news conference on a project to help end the ''mutual prejudice" between religion and science that has been an issue for the Roman Catholic Church, and that is part of the evolution debate in the United States.

Hey now that's what I like to see from religion; reason. The Vactican has first-hand knowledge on what happens when religion refuses to listen to scientific reality. Hopefully the proponants of Intelligent Design will take note, but I doubt it, they believe they're right.
