My guess is that like in everything else the Vatican will slowly come around to new social ideas two centuries late. We might see female priests next century.

You have to remember its a gerontocracy, an institution where only the very old ultimately have the final say, so you see a lot of ideas about 50 years out of date because these people basically left society quite some time ago

It's why we got Old German pope instead of the two people everyone thought were frontrunners is the public.

Cool Hispanic pope and Cool African Pope.  Then again, cool hispanic pope might not feel any different about that.
