I have a prediction regarding the future of the Church that I’m willing to offer up with some confidence. There has been a good bit of controversy about the issue of ordaining women as priests, and the College of Cardinals’ election of Pope B16 suggests we’re not going to see any rush to reform in this particular area.

However, I promise you that we’ll see significant movement on this issue once we get a female Pope.

Write it down – you heard it here first.
