Not sure there is anything revolutionary here. Many Christian theologians (and physicists) believe the Big Bang is completely consistent with intelligent design and evolution within species is not controversial.
the catholic church is historically more regressive, more authoritarian, more conservative than you seem to be giving it credit for. I'm actually terrified some sort of ill might befall this progressive pope, his statements are that radical (and awesome) IMO.
ETA: although i wouldn't know about the church's 20th century history, if birdman says this has been catholic policy for decades then i'm not saying it hasn't...but then again it'd be helpful if that were emphasized more as i'm reasonably well informed and had no idea.
