What's so special about cardinals than other Catholics? Are they better Christians/ Catholics than others Catholics? How can they be better?
Why can't few Catholic women get together at a restaurant and decide who will be the Pope? And if they did what would make their Pope less valid than one chosen by cardinals?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
