Point taken. I do suspect that a significant number of the Church's most illiberal policies, regarding sex education, gay marriage, birth control and abortion, will never be changed. After all, religion's obsession with people's sex lives is well-grounded as a major instrument of control of the flock. Remember that we are all miserable wretches owing to Eve's sin, saved only by the crucifixion of Jesus. What more fertile ground for giving us rules that are hard to keep than sex? The only bigger one is fear of the hereafter. I'll change my mind when he rescinds the prospective sainthood of earlier popes' main sexual hit woman, Mother Teresa, for the right reasons.
