Fr. Robinson says:

What Catholics are held to believe from Genesis 1-3
  • There is one God, outside of the universe, who created that universe from nothing, such that it had a beginning in time.
  • God created man directly and Eve was formed from Adam.
  • Monogenism – the entire human race has a single set of first parents.
  • Our first parents were created in a state of original justice, with gifts of integrity and immortality.
  • They fell from that state by sin and the wound of their sin was communicated to the entire human race.

That Catholics are to hold that God created man directly and Eve was formed from Adam. This isn’t true, as we are allowed to believe humans evolved or not believe it.
 
The problem has to do with the definition of evolution. We can believe those aspects which do not conflict with the dogma you listed above.
 
You are mistaken. We are bound to believe that God did create Adam directly and Eve was formed from Adam. If you don’t believe that you are not Catholic!

What is more is that you can’t go from irrational soul to a rational soul by some natural process of evolution.

Evolution itself has no scientific base, it is just a fairy-tale for non believers.

A great talk on this is the following:
