Can someone please explain what the Pope Francis has recently said about God, creationism, and evolution? And why it is so much different than the stance from recent popes

Hi there, not to discourage further comment, but this post from yesterday might get you started:

This submission has been removed because it involves current events. To keep from discussion of politics, we have a 20-year rule here. You may want to try /r/ask_politics or another current-events focused sub.

(To give you a bit of context: we've allowed the question /u/jschooltiger links to to stand because it asks explicitly about historical examples while you are asking about the statement itself. But I think some of your questions will hopefully have been answered in that thread.)
