→Evolution: Vatican rejected requests to clarify
Pope [[John Paul II]], speaking in French rather than his native language, made a statement about evolution that used the ambiguous French term "une", which can mean "one" or "a". The English translation of this phrase in the Vatican newspaper was that the Pope said that the [[theory of evolution]] "is more than one hypothesis."<ref>http://www.catholic.net/RCC/Periodicals/Inside/01-97/creat2.html</ref> [[Evolutionists]] insisted that the paper had erred and that the phrase should have been translated as saying that the [[theory of evolution]] is "more than a hypothesis," thereby giving the theory slightly more credibility. But despite the intense pressure by [[evolutionists]] against the paper, it did not print their alternative translation.

The Vatican rejected requests by [[evolutionists]] for clarification of the remarks and their English translation by the Vatican newspaper.
