Now, if that isn't ID, I don't know what is. You misinterpreted the title of the article, as well as misinterpreted ID. Evolution and ID are NOT incompatible. ID just gives a reason for the initial spark (which evolution doesn't, and for which there is no empirical evidence). It doesn't give a progression from point A (first appearance of life) to point B (where we are now) and beyond, which is what evolution does. And in this case, the Vatican has supported ID and evolution.

That is counter to everything that I have read on ID. ID, for example, states that the eye could not have evolved because it is irreducibly complex, and therefore the creation of it must have been guided by a designer. I agree that evolution does not explain the initial spark. But, ID is (as I understand it) about the guided design process, not the initial spark.
