You must be referring to the article Surf n Turf linked (instead of the comment excerpted), but I don't see the conflict between Father Coyne's summarized remarks and the full text of the Pope's address.
Certainly the Pope specified that " theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the spirit as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man," so Coyne's remarks are lacking some context, but I don't see a conflict.
