So a bunch of Priests are locked away at the Vatican, waiting for God to tell them who the next Pope will be. As all eyes are on temporary chimneys and all ears listening to the bells of St. Peters, Its a good time to wonder what the new Pope will hope to achieve.
Religion is fast becoming outdated in the developed worls and is a source of hope for the developed world. The new Pope is going to have to tackle child abuse and demonstrate that the Church has no tolerance for it. It would also be a good chance to modernise customs and beliefs.
I think men and women have urges that the vast majority cannot control. I do not see the problem with priests dating and marrying women. I would think no less of such a man. I'd also appreciate it if they spent their time with an adult and left our kids alone.
There are lots of little things that the Church can do to make religion more relevant. Don't forget - the bible is over 2000 years old. I think that the Bible was created to help explain the unexplainable 2000 years ago. Now, science has disproved large chunks of it and many parts are no longer relevant. It would take alot of courage for a new priest to modernise the Church, and would also take a great deal of commonsense. Sadly, commonsense is not always that common.
