From the article:
"artificial insemination outside the body"
Artificial Insemination outside the body typical involves "reductions"... i.e., multiple embryos are conceived while only one or two may be implanted. The rest are destroyed or saved. I would imagine the Holy Father was referring to this fact.
"have never experienced marriage and procreation presents itself as an authority on marriage and procreation."
I can name a lot of scientists and slashdot readers who could say the same thing.

I agree... it seems highly improbable that the late pontiff would have said such a thing. In Gaudium et Spes (no. 36), the Council Fathers wrote "It has explicitly affirmed the distinction of orders of knowledge between faith and reason; it has recognized the autonomy and independence of science, and has taken up a position in favor of freedom of research."

On what planet is this sort of nonsense "Insightful"?
Suddenly the last 30 years of Anglican Church history make sense. They aren't becoming Unitarians... their computers are infected with spyware!
I've never understood this argument. Humans somehow became "members of society in general" before the advent of public education.

This would be a more accurate assesment of what the Vatican does and doesn't say about evolution.
