Whether a widower can become a priest or not, it's unlikely he could advance in the heirarchy, let alone become a candidate for the papacy.

The Church needs more priests, but it has plenty of candidates for its higher offices.
Actually the only requirements to become Pope is that you are a baptised,catholic male.Its unlikely you would become pope but that is the only requirement. As to your first point. A widower can become a priest as long as he takes the vow of celibacy and honors it. The canon law says nothing about him being a virgin or never married as far as I know. Not every man who enters the seminary has his sights set on  the Chair of St.Peter. I would venture to guess that there are plenty of guys who just want to serve God in whatever way God calls them to serve.

How would having a gay son change anything?  They talk like he's never been around gays.  He administers to the AIDS afflicted, so I'm sure he knows them well.

Could you imagine the DUmbass's half-white Black President washing AIDS patient's feet?  Pope Francis did just that.

Well, of course. I was speaking to the political considerations in advancing through the heirarchy.

You could say that Taverner is eligible to be President of the United States.

His odds are probably better than those of a widowed American becoming Pope.

the Pope wouldn't be married or having sex right?  I mean that is what is supposed to happen :mental:

One of the UK tabloids (The Independent, I think) found a woman (77 if memory serves) who the new pope wrote a love letter to in either 1948 or 1949.  It said, "I want to marry you someday, and if I don't, I'll become a priest."  She apparently said something along the lines of, "Lucky for us Catholics that I didn't say 'yes.'"

This Pope makes me VERY nervous.   He gets out in Public and wanders about, refuses to wear red shoes , I wonder how many other traditions he ignores.

The Liberal members of the church have already started trouble for him bad mouthing his past.  Me thinks the Pope needs a food taster and a CCW permit.

The Pope has the MOST DANGERIOUS job in the world.

The liberals are going to hate any pope until they elect a gay atheist pope.

Wait here MrsSmith, I was under the impression the vow to Chastity was a vow to not have sex with Females.

Way I was taught was at one time the Priests and even the Pope married and had children.   When the man died his children came in to inherit their fathers property and money.   Some where down the line the Church found they were loosing big money and intuited the No Marry into the priests.  This way the church would inherit the money and property of the Priest or Pope.

Boston in the 50's had a Cardinal Sheen who left almost $500,000 to his female house keeper.  

Loop holes in everything when it comes to rules and regulations.
Vesta, seriously, the law I referred to was NOT the Church law. It was God's law that makes it clear that sex is only for husband and wife, anything else is sinful.
