The Church declared intelligent design "not science" in 2006, about a year after Benedict's ascension. So, if he flirted with it, it wasn't for long, and it wasn't seriously.

Anyhow, timely subject, as Francis weighed in on evolution today:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/10/28/pope-francis-backs-theory-of-evolution-says-god-is-no-wizard/

Pope Pius XII said something very similar some 60+ years earlier in 1950....theory of evolution in conjunction with God as creator is not at odds. 

http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_12081950_humani-generis_en.html

Officially, the church holds no position on evolution or creationism.
