That's incorrect. The Church doesn't make any scientific pronouncements, it has only tried to reconcile its theology with recent scientific discoveries. In other words - "this is a scientific idea that we don't think is in conflict with our theology, so feel free to accept it if you want." This is not the same as a rejection of creationism. As I explained earlier, and what should be extremely obvious, belief in separate creation of living forms was never incompatible with Catholic theology.
