I wouldn't mind seeing a new Pope who was a Chinese lesbian lone parent, but I get the feeling that this is rather unlikely.

Sigh, which is why our country is dirt poor and overcrowded. And the efforts of the Church to discourage contraceptives, ban abortions and divorces, and promote big families, is one of the main causes of our suffering.
