The Cult of Mary

My own opinion is the change has started. Now how far along he gets is another.
Allowing Priests to marry- Yeah I can see that.
Throwing the Pedos to their countries respective justice system. Yep- Not to far away with that one.

No change on abortion.
Possible change on divorce?????

The ordination of women is something that will likely have to wait. The Catholic Church already allows for married priests in Africa and certain eastern Churches(Maronites - Lebanese Christians - are an example). Anglicans and Lutheran priests that convert to the Catholicism are also allowed to retain their marriages. A friend of mine is a Dominican priest and he figures it should be a personal choice for the clergy. He figures the Church will return to allowing married clergy fairly soon.

Not going to happen during the current crop of priests' lifetime, but perhaps during their childrens lives!
