Even as Pope John Paul II spoke out against non-traditional lifestyles only a few meters away Thursday, the leaders of a homosexual rights group called on the Catholic Church to make its next pope a woman. Activists from Arcigay say the church needs a woman's touch and expressed the hope that "in 2000 the Catholic Church is headed by a pope who is a woman, a much more sensitive and open sex." The current pontiff, meanwhile, was urging local authorities to help the traditional family by providing cheap and plentiful child care.
