NOT -"There is no *LIKELIHOOD* of the Pope requiring these things."
OR -"There is no *CHANCE* of the Pope requiring these things."
BUT -"There is no *DANGER* of the Pope requiring these things."

Why did you state that there is no *DANGER* of the Pope requiring these 
things?  Did your mind speak directly to your typing hands (bypassing the 
local diocese) for one brief moment here?

Regards,
Jason
