Pope Benedict confuses a journalist again

I should keep track of each spectacularly skewed sentence that Mr Malcolm Moore writes for the Telegraph.  In today's installment in the series, however, he seems to me to get the sense of things mostly correct: so it is just the one sentence I'll poke fun at. 

"Pope Benedict XVI has made his first comments on evolution, saying God alone cannot provide an explanation for the variety of life on Earth". 

What he is attempting to explain is that the Holy Father has written that one can admit the evolution of species while at the same time professing faith in God the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  And that, mirabile dictu, he has continued to maintain this in the book, Creation and Evolution, that's the occasion of the Telegraph piece; the volume is the acta of last year's annual meeting of the
former Joseph Ratzinger with his university students.

Our friend manages to construct a sentence that somehow implies that God is incapable of having created the myriad forms of terrestrial life. 

And the radical traditionalists, for the increase and deepening of our merriment, will doubtless take another of our friend's efforts--attributed in its isolation to the Roman Pontiff, "I would not depend on faith alone to explain the whole picture"--and raise the cry of heresy.
