I think our Pope will make strides in that area, BH. I agree that so many of the rules are archaic and need to fall by the wayside like other rules have. We used to eat fish every Friday, I don't think that is done any more and I can remember having to cover my hair before I went into church as a kid, I don't think that is done anymore either. There are a few things that are no longer adhered to.
My Mom was raised Catholic. She says she opened up the paper one day and the front page headline was "The Pope says it's okay to eat meat on Fridays". She had been questioning a lot of the bullshit Catholic rules and rituals for a few years...after she saw that in the paper, she was done. The problem with the Catholic is that they think the Pope is God. They don't see him as a normal man that sins everyday like the rest of us.
