Dear Pope: First let me congratulate you on an impressive election victory. You really trounced your opponents,especially those non-European cardinals who actually thoughtthey had a chance. You need to tell them to go easy on the
grape juice. Anyway, it's good to see democracy working so well within the church. If only more countries would learn from the Vatican and follow its democratic ideal of "one man, one vote, let the women sit and watch." I'm glad you
believe that only men should be priests, bishops and cardinals. We already let women attend church and take communion -- must we let them wear the gowns too? Women today are already doing everything men do: they're doctors,lawyers, accountants, and engineers. Some jobs ought to be reserved for men. Even my wife says that, right before asking me to take out the trash. Prayerfully yours, David C.
Dear Pope: I am really struggling with the abortion issue. While I've always believed, like you do, that abortion is wrong, a Jewish friend of mine has made me reconsider my position, insisting that the world would be a better place
if Hitler's mother had chosen abortion. Such a choice may even be considered "pro-life." Of course, you may ask how Hitler's mother could have possibly known that her son would
turn into such a monster. But I'm sure she could have found out, I'm sure she could have consulted a good psychic. Don't you agree? Respectfully yours, Rhonda B.
Dear Pope: I am a churchgoing man, very faithful to Catholic principles. I just wanted to know if you think the church will ever change its stance on same-sex marriage. In case you are wondering, I am heterosexual man. But it just so happens that my partner is not. He wants to get married in
church, but that raises a problem: Which one of us should wear the dress? I think he should, because I'm the one who's heterosexual. Don't you think that's reasonable? Heterosexually yours, Kenneth D.
Dear Pope: My wife and I are both devout Catholics, but disagree on one important issue. She feels that the Vatican is too old-fashioned and impractical in its opposition to
contraceptives, but I tend to agree with your position -- and so do our 14 children. We've been trying the natural method of birth control and it's quite effective, giving my wife a few days off between pregnancies. But nowadays, she
often locks me out of the bedroom, telling our children that this is a critical part of the natural method. My question to you is this: Can a locked door be considered a contraceptive? If so, shouldn't the church ban locked doors?
Desperately yours, Manuel S.

Indeed, what a democracy ? Out of 1 billion plus catholics around the world, a few, 100 plus were allowed to vote for the new Pope.
