I'm not a Catholic, but I'm eagerly awaiting this shit. Normally I wouldn't give a fuck but there is a very serious division in the Catholic Church between the traditionalists and the reformists.
The reformists are the ones that have been slowly taking over the church since the mid 60's and that's where you're getting most of the gay priests and child molesters etc from. Then you have the old school that recognizes all of the problems this "reform" movement has brought to the church and they want to clean house, expose/excommunicate all the teh gays and molesters and take the church back to a more traditional role.
There is a big book of secrets from years of internal (and external) investigations that's getting handed off to the new Pope, and depending on who that is will determine what gets done with that information. I'm not an expert on the prospective candidates, but from what I understand the traditionalists are lining up behind Angelo Scola. If he becomes Pope, we'll probably see a massive house cleaning of the Church and a lot of backlash from the media complaining about the Church "taking a step back" or some shit. You know the media would love nothing more than a transgendered Brazilian child molester to take over so anything less than that will be a disappointment.
