Hi Gwynne, yes I read that too but didn't know quite how to word it! I think 'All is well from underneath' puts it just fine! LOL Christine |

Hi Christine, And ever new Pope supposedly has to sit on a high chair with an 'open' seat so that the cardinals can check that all is well from underneath. Gwynne |

Funny Gwynne, I was reading about that yesterday. Apparently the Catholic church did at one time accept the story about Pope Joan 853AD, but now discount it as a myth. The story goes that she masqueraded as a man and ruled as Pope John V111 for two years. One day when out riding 'she' stopped by the roadside and gave birth to a child! When it was found that she was in fact a woman, she was tied up, dragged behind a horse and stoned to death! Christine |

The way the church is going anything is possible. But that would being going to far. Sorry I believe that the church should stand up for what God's Word says, times may change but God's Word never does, if it did we wouldn't know where we stand. I'd better leave this one alone. |

for me a female pope just wouldnt have the same impact, i am all for equality of the sexes but when ever i have been at a service conducted by a female it just didnt feel right to me, i dont know what that says about me maybe i have secret desires for domination lol |

Who knows? 95 years is a long time, but it would take some drastic changes in the Catholic church to bring that one about. Carole |

Will there ever be one? We have women vicars. Do you think we'll see one this century? |
