...So for now, there cannot be a woman,” Schotte said. “If the job is redefined, you could have a woman..."Big deal! If it was redefined you could have a duck or a mongoose.
...the College of Cardinals is a body of intelligent, strong-willed men who often have strongly differing visions and ideas about the future of the church....the potential for surprise in the election of the next pope is far greater than many people realize.
The College of Cardinals is also a very conservative body of strong-willed, intelligent men with a very keen knowledge of Church history.
“...Women must get a more important place in the administration of the Catholic church...."
Why?

Only the National Catholic Reporter would think that a long-time troublemaker like Cardinal Godfried Danneels of Belgium is "papabile." The Church in Belgium is in a sorry state thanks to this guy and his friends.

But I think that priest structure and power structure in principle don’t need to be one and the same. Both my vicars are women, and I see no reason why a woman should not head a Roman congregation.Sounds as though this guy believes in the democratic model for the Church. Let's see perhaps we can have lay elected officials voting on what is and isn't a sin. Wow! What a concept.

Secularization forces one to make a very conscious choice about one’s beliefs. One is no longer a Catholic by birth. That is good. I think that a moral choice is more perfect when it is made by a free man. And I prepare myself for a smaller Church because I know very well that a decision made freely is always more demanding than being one of the herd. Why not just reject infant Baptism outright?
