Topics that I believe that should be addressed in the Church with the new Pope is gay rights, birth control, women’s roles in the Church, and divorce. I believe that the Church needs to review their stance on these issues listed above because many Catholics do not have the same view as them. When people feel as though they are being judged because they have a different opinion many people leave the Church and then inevitably leave God.  I know that is not what the Church wants as an outcome and I firmly believe that not only will more people stay committed to the Church, but will also bring in more people to this faith. To be a woman in the Church has never really affected me. To me I am just there with no more rights than men have. I know that it is a hot button issue about women not being able to become priests, and I believe that they should be allowed to. Jesus did not only call men to be followers and women to just be there. He called all genders to be followers, and I believe that women should be able to give a mass, just as men do. I would change divorce because I believe that people should not be excommunicated or not allowed to receive communion because they made a mistake. No there is no democracy inn the Church’s current position, in my opinion. I believe that the Holy Spirit works because yes the Church does not have the view point of the current times, but I know that the Holy Spirit is guiding the religious in their higher positions to try and make the right decision.
