Just finished reading a book about the Papacy, and then decided to look deeper into it by reading further websites and and webpages about it, including wikipedia (to my unfortunate disgust) and started reading about how some Popes were "speculated" to have had children, and that those children supposedly became Popes themselves.

Of course, the major hurdle in this idea is the celibacy issue. Even though i can't really find a basis for this at all. So this got me wondering. Is it possible, at all, that the Papacy could perhaps become an inherited position, passed down from father-to-son. If it is possible at all.
