John Farrell asks:

Can you imagine a Cardinal pulling aside a brilliant biology PhD candidate and telling him, "Don't waste your time on Intelligent Design. It's a dead end. Look into Evo Devo. It's the cutting edge. More worthy of your talent." Can you imagine that happening today?

No. The Catholic hierarchy is too afraid of the truth. But it wasn't always the case.
