It is quite sad how excited I am about the cardinals going into conclave. Not because I secretly harbour great love for Holy Mother Church but I want to see what a new Pope can bring.
Hopefully more bigotry concerning same-sex marriage/adoption, arhcaic beliefs about contraception and the inequality of women... To be fair it is very easy to Catholic bash these days given the past decade. I acknowledge the preceding comments as crass and unimaginative. Apologies.
Seriously though, a less conservative Pope would be a gift. He would be able to get back to what I believe the true message of Christianity to be; love. There are many things that would genuinely be too radical to change over night but in time one can hope things will improve. If the hoi polloi can read the Bible in English and be allowed some moral autonomy then the sky is the limit.
Otherwise I fear Catholics becoming an endangered species.
Inside my head:
I wish I was playing Skyrim right now...
