The Catholic Church and Evolution

There's a nice summary at Schönborn Sightings (I had to work to find the umlaut to go over the first 'o'). This is a similar theme from an earlier post of mine ruminating on the difficulty of thinking about and discussing controversial topics with others when we use vague, imprecise language.

In any case, the differentiation between Evolution on the one hand as an area of scientific investigation and Neo-Darwinism on the other as a philosophy masquerading as neutral science is useful. But maybe, as Albertus Minimus points out, for some the imprecision is deliberate.
