"Catholic schools should continue teaching evolution as a scientific theory backed by convincing evidence. At the same time, Catholic parents whose children are in public schools should ensure that their children are also receiving appropriate catechesis at home and in the parish on God as Creator. Students should be able to leave their biology classes, and their courses in religious instruction, with an integrated understanding of the means God chose to make us who we are."
- stance of the Catholic Church
Essentially, the Catholic Church realized that it is futile to deny to obvious fact that evolution is true. Its sad that even an institution as traditional as the Catholic Church is more 'with the times' than some people here.
