I'm a Christian myself, although not a Catholic anymore. I'm also a big SF fan. One of my main interests is what will happen with Catholic Church in the future, and I mean like 200 years from now or something like that. Its been around for 2000 years, so we can safely assume, that it'll be around for at least couple hundred more. Will it expand to other planets? Will it change into corporation? Will they use biomechanoids for Popes? Or maybe it will fall? What's your take on this?
And the second question - it feels to me that Satan doesn't really work anymore as a method of fear. The vision of Satan changed couple times during the centuries and I think that Satan needs a new version, quickly, as modern people simply do not believe in a guy with horns. It might be that Vatican's PR division is thinking about his new image the very moment. Let's give them some ideas, will Satan be replaced, and how?
Thank you for all the answers.

eg: In the UK children stopped going to church on average in the 1950s, life expectancy is 85 and the church is course to cease existing around the 2030s.
Ireland is a little behind but not that much.
RCC main population is in the developing world - Latin America & sub-Saharan Africa but here life expectancy is shorter so as the church loses touch with the population the end will come that much quicker.
