Hello everyone, I'm Saint Nearly. Two months ago I was sainted by Pope Constance, whose given name is Lucinda Ann Grealton, who is neither Catholic nor male, is not even Italian and speaks broken Latin. She has consented to the sainting of eight other Americans in addition certain persons of other nationalies, who meet the criteria. Incidentally, miracles are not manditory for sainthood, for Jesus makes no mention of such a rule. All this does not please the Catholic Church -- but I ask you, where did they get the monopoly over the institution of the Papacy? The answer is simple, they don't have the monopoly. Who foisted the idea that there can be only one Pope? There can be more than one Pope. Popes can be either male or female, and Pope Constance is living proof, and is a representative of God upon the Earth, as well as Pope Benedict.
What say you all, Catholic and non-Catholic alike? Is it time for the ascendance of a pleuralistic Papacy and sainthood in modern time?

No, polygamy is not on the table now. Polygamy was never a part of the church, except in the wild west, and many of them were perverts, don't you keep up on the news?

I never heard anything about Pope Constance, how do you even know she's on the up-and-up?
This is starting to sound like a bad scene in Georgia.

Incidentally, there was a female Pope in the Catholic Church many centuries ago, around the year 855 The church was embarrassed by not knowing the pope was a female. She was known as Pope Joan. The church officials tried to pretend that she never existed and "fudged" the dates of her encyclicals. The only reason she was ever found out was that one day while she was travelling, she gave birth and was subsequently dragged to her death along with her baby. So sad that men think they are the only ones who can run the church.

The answer to your original question ("Who says..."):
Jesus Christ. That's who. And He is not just anybody; He is God. So it basically comes down to this: Do you accept or reject the authority of Jesus Christ, that authority which He passed along to His Church to teach and sanctify in His Name? That is the question that each one of us is invited to ask ourselves. Whose authority do we ultimately accept: God's or our own?

Gee-whizzums!!! If you want to be like somebody, try to pick someone worthwhile. We don't need another pope, or phony religion.
