Cath Olics began pondering what policies and strategies the new Pope whoever height be will pursue. Popes however Are something like supreme court justices in the United states a particular record is no sure guarantee of what the future will hold. Perhaps the Best example is Pope John Xxiii Paul s immediate predecessor elected so everyone thought As a Mere caretaker. John convoked the second Vati can Council unleashing some of the most Radical changes in the Church s history. The Church in the United states with 50 Bullion of the world s 600 million catholics and living in a pluralistic society has been wracked in recent decades both by pres sure for change within the Church and by pressure from an increasingly materialistic and secular society outside. The american Hierarchy sought to follow Paul s twin policy of an activist Church in the Field of social Justice while retaining a More conservative stance on internal issues of belief and practice such As the ordination of women and questions of sexuality. Catholics have with the Blessing of the american Hierarchy and the Strong sup port of Paul been among the leaders in the anti abortion fight in the United states. But in other areas american catholics have been among the leaders of the dissent that has troubled the Church in recent years and led to drastic declines in mass attendance and unprecedented numbers of priests and nuns leaving the Church in frustration for secular vocations.

Among the most hopeful of . Call lies about the change a new Pope will brie Are those struggling to persuade a Church to ordain women to the Priesthood rebuffed by Paul in their argument to the Church must move toward women s or dilution the movement is certain to int sift its efforts no matter who is the a pontiff. Whether a new Pope would move in b eral direction on such issues is simply i matter of Hope and speculation until a new Leader is named and begins to Stashis own policies. The new Pope however will not Only shape the internal life of the roman Catho Lic Church but also the Church s relation with orthodoxy and protestantism.
