No - it's a common misconception but evolutionary theory doesn't actually say anything about the origin of life itself. However there are many scientific hypothesis that DO concern the origin of life - the Pope says nothing about them. Personally I find the Pope's position a bit frustrating. He makes his case only by assuming, but not actually stating, Catholic beliefs: namely that the bible is not to be taken literally. He's basically saying that the whole issue is just "absurd" - but only if you believe exactly as I do. It's the same as if somebody said "Racism is stupid - there's no reason to hate others because of the color of their skin!" Yes - it' true, but it does nothing to deal with the problem.
