noname -- It's happened before! Not too long ago either, I think. Maybe before John Paul II. Cuchulainn seems to be pretty learned on the subject, he might know.
The Pope doesn't need to be "liberal" or "conservative". The Pope needs to strictly follow the doctrines of the Bible. Birth control among married couples is one thing, but things like homosexuality, the scandals with priests molesting children, etc.--"liberal" and "conservative" doesn't matter in these situations, only "Biblical".
