The thing is, they do actually need a more liberal Pope if they want to bring back the faithful that they've lost under Benedict and John Paul II. Another Conservative will mean more leaving and while that might keep the pompous morons at The Catholic Times happy, when are they going to realise that they need someone in charge who's going to do something about the pederast priests, the endless tirades against Gays, etc, rather than another Conservative who'll be a clone of his two predecessors.
