💨 Abstract

The selection process for a new Pope is underway, with all top contenders being male. The reason women are not eligible for the position is that they cannot become priests, a tradition rooted in the belief that Jesus Christ called only men as apostles. Women can hold leadership positions within the Church except for the priesthood. The legend of Joan, a woman who allegedly served as Pope during the Middle Ages, is considered a myth.
