I don't know much about the Catholic faith but...Is there any chance of there EVER being a female Pope? Or does it say it has got to be male?

Chances are slim to none. Tradition has priests always being male and before you can be pope, you usually are a priest, then a bishop. First we'd have to get women allowed into the priesthood, but now they aren't allowed. I hope it changes soon.

I'm not catholic per say although I do follow some of the catholic ways. My husband is Roman Catholic/ Wiccan, but I was practicing what I could long before I met him. Its hard when you live in Protestant country in the Bible Belt, as if it really exists *LOL*, to find a Catholic Church. I doubt that we will see a female pope for many generations, because catholics are traditionalists. I have to agree with the first guy we'll see a female president first.

hell will probably freeze over before the catholic church has a female pope and the accept the fact they have a serious problem with child molesters

That's a good question, I don't think there has ever been a female pope.
No clue here though, really good question though!

Nope, no chance. They won't even allow a woman to be a priest much less a bishop, archbishop, cardinal, or pope.
