He stated that Evolution was not incompatible with religion. Why is it that his views have not trickle down to the ignorant rabble rousers "believers".

The Catholic Church does not take the stories of creation in the Bible literally. Catholics believe the book of Genesis tells religious truth and not necessarily historical fact.
The religious truth is that God created everything and declared all was good.
The Church supports science in the discovery of God's creation. At this time, the theory of evolution is the most logical scientific explanation. However tomorrow someone may come up with a better idea.
As long as we believe that God started the whole thing, both the Bible and modern science can live in harmony.
With love in Christ.

While the Roman Catholics have any number of weird beliefs, biblical literalism has never been one of them. Literalists can in no way accept evolution because it is real and they insist on living in a fantasy world.

Anything not in harmony with Scriptures (and that includes almost all of churchianity) undermines truth!

I'm sorry, I'm not following what you are saying. I know of very few, if any, Catholics who take Genesis literally.
