its sad that the Pope John Paul 2 has passed away...but now can who will be his successor, my question is, can we have a Female pope..if no, why
if yes then in the past have we had any female pope,
Nope. No Way!. Absolutely not!
The pope is the leader of a large church with a billion people. He is responsible for making possibly controversial decisions with strength and certainty.
The pope also is Gods emmisary-- he speaks for God. This is clearly a position that requires the highest level of integrity and holiness.
There can be no female pope.
Rumor has it that there already was a woman pope - Pope John VIII - aka Pope Joan.
Yeah, there is that legend... but do you know what supposedly happened to this blasphemy

According to most versions, spectators watched in horror as the pope, trying to mount a horse, went into labor and gave birth to a son. Moments later, some reports said, the crowd tied her feet to the horse's tail, then stoned her to death as she was dragged along a street.
During the reformation, Protestent reformers revived this rumor as a way to deride the Catholic church on this shameful event.
There is a chair in the Vatican that has no bottom. It was allegedly used to check the maleness of a candidate pope so this horror would never, ever happen again.

Thankyou, I forget from time to time how sick religious people can get.

It's said cardinals after checking this, will announce, in Italian, "aveve due, bene pendente" which means : "he has two, well hung"
