From The Telegraph-The Archbishop of Canterbury had better get his skates on. Because if he's not careful that bastion of illiberality - the Catholic Church - will steal a march on the Anglicans in its attitude to women. I refer of course to the suggestion that Pope Francis may be about to usher in the first female cardinals.
It's hard to over-state how momentous such a change would be. No woman has sat in the Holy See's papal conclave since cardinals were given the job of electing the pope in the 12th century. It would mean that in theory, a woman could become Pope. And there's even talk that an Irish feminist, Professor Linda Hogan (pictured above), could be in line for the honour.
