That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You're equating the Pope (Catholic) with born again evangelical protestant types. Just because they both use the same book doesn't mean they are the same thing.
Saying the Pope wants everyone to interperate the Bible literally is just ignorant, The Catholic church has acknowledged that the creation story is metaphoric and doesn't preclude evolution.
Are you Catholic? Did you go to Catholic school? Are you at all familliar with how the church works beyond what you've read in Angels and Demons and the Da Vinci Code? I'm guessing the answer to all three is NO.

And you? Are you a Priest? Have you spent more than 5 minutes reading your bible?
Are you suggesting that the Catholics are a forward thinking group that has managed to move with the times? Perhaps the millions of Catholics who suffer from AIDs in Africa might differ?
I was raised Roman Catholic, Joined the Morman temple and lived with a Jehovah. I have studied religion...religiously. I dropped all religion at about age 24ish when it dawned on me that all of them were hypocrites, including the evangelical protestant types. Why?
