The Catholic Church will never have female priests; the most liberal Popes will not even discuss it. If they were ever foolish enough to attempt to do this, they have no claim to being rooted in Scripture, and will go the way of the other “christian” denominations that have done so: Empty pews, renting out facilities for support groups and such. Basically, they will become “community activists” instead of faith-based organizations...
That has already happened in France. The RCC in France is essentially an NGO with lots of vacant real estate.
