Paul Cottle is a professor of physics at Florida State University, a practicing Catholic, and one of the members of the state science standards writing committee in Florida. Recently, Cottle had an outstanding article published in the National Catholic Weekly. The article is about his work on behalf of quality science education in Florida and nationwide.
Here's an excellent excerpt:

Yet I have come to this understanding by working within the intellectual framework widely accepted by the scientific community, a framework that includes the tenets of evolution. This framework should also guide the teaching of young people, in Florida and elsewhere. The Catholic Church and its partners in the faith have no reason to fear the results.
