Friends, 
sorry to say that there has been so many misunderstandings, misinterpretations that I think the best people can do is to read the speech. You can find it at the Vaticans homepage.
The Pope was speeking on the balance between belief and reason and of the greek philosophical influence on the chritian beleif of today, the Biblical faith and Greek philosophical inquiry. Its a very, very difficult speech, and most people who referred to it has never read it, or understood what it was about.
