The Church never will.
Its the Cardinal's and the Pope's sworn duty to uphold and teach the Catholic faith as it comes to us from the Apostles.

There will never be women priests. Homosexual acts will never be seen as normal. The Church is not a Democracy? When did Christ take a poll of the Apostles to determine his next action?

Its amazing what these people think the Church is. Simply amazing.

Well, since it's my blog, I suppose I'm best suited to comment on what I wrote.

Frankly, those of you who complained that my hoping that the new pope would die an early death was a tasteless sentiment to express were right. I fully agree. I let my anger at Pope Benedict's past policies get the better of me, and I lashed out with a bit of hyperbole. I assure you that I don't actually wish death on the pope. Despite my disagreements with his policy stands, I respect the fact that he's dedicated his life to serving God. But I inartfully expressed my opinion that he wasn't the best man for this particular job, and I've since revised that post.

And for the record, I am not a godless, freedom-hating liberal. Well, some may disagree with the former, given my sexual orientation, but I can at least aver that I don't hate freedom. Most liberals don't, y'know. Perhaps we should all tone down the hyperbolic rhetoric a bit.
