Time Mag: Media coverage of Pope Francis is trash

Let's try to keep the flame wars away from this thread

The 'Pope Francis supports evolution' story is just the latest example of the press getting the Catholic church completely wrong
...
Anyone who knows anything about Catholic history knows that a statement like this is nothing new. Pope Pius XII wrote an encyclical “Humani Generis” in 1950 affirming that there was no conflict between evolution and Catholic faith. Pope John Paul II reaffirmed that, stressing that evolution was more than a hypothesis, in 1996. Pope Benedict XVI hosted a conference on the nuances of creation and evolution in 2006. There’s an official book on the event for anyone who wants to know more. Pope Francis’ comments Monday even came as he was unveiling a new statue of Pope Benedict XVI, honoring him for his leadership.
...
That’s dangerous, especially because this furor seems to occur most often when hot-button Western political issues can be tied to the Pope’s statements—evolution, death penalty, gay marriage. Wednesday morning, Pope Francis asked for prayers for 43 Mexican students who were burned alive by drug traffickers. It is unlikely that that will get the same pickup.
Moral of this story: Don’t believe most of what you read about the Vatican. Papal coverage has gone wild.

How can the Vatican come out and say that? It goes against the Bible....I guess they will just pick and choose what they think is real and what isn't?

How? Genesis says 7 days how long were the days? Were the days earth days or days in Heaven?
