So, make the Church a democracy and change its teachings on sexual morality. What was sacred for 1,500+ years (the traditional Latin Mass) is now odious, and what was odious and sinful for 2,000+ years is now sacred!

It would seem to me that if homosexuality is not a sin, and if remarriage after divorce is not adultery, then the Church is not what she claims to be. If you believe these things, why would you be a member of the Church? And, supposing the Church would change its teaching, why should anyone join an institution that says X is true one day and false the next? The Church would have no doctrinal integrity, which is, at root, something required for any religion to be true.

> integrate women by giving them responsibilities, abolish mandatory celibacy

It's becoming increasingly odd to me that the idea "women are important" and the idea "men have needs [and those needs are: women]" are more-or-less always found together when I read articles about people's visions for the future, but I suppose that no one intends it to look odd, they just haven't thought it through.
