Here is the passage directly from Damian:

Letters, Volume 3
By Saint Peter Damian
And more about him:

These books make the same claim but also without documentation:

A number imply that it is based on Damian's account - which does not
include anything like "“God in his wisdom has provided man with natural
forks-his fingers" and at any rate would not qualify as "The Church's opinion". The
fact that I don't see the latter quote before 1987 makes me think one
misreading has relatively recently been picked up by others.
The fact that they refer to the relatively well-known Damian as "some
priest" (etc) does not speak well for their scholarship either.
