Now that the Middle Eastern country updated its antiquated voting laws, there's only one country left in the world that doesn't let women vote: The Roman Catholic capital of the world, Vatican City. But voting in Vatican City is more complicated than in any other country, since only cardinals — the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church — are allowed to vote for a new Pope. This means that not even all men have the right to vote. And because women can't become cardinals, no women have the legal right to vote in Vatican City elections. The Vatican has always operated on old religious doctrine, but it's made progress in other areas recently. Pope Francis has a more accepting view of gay marriage, and called for climate change action in his last encyclical. So why can't similar progress be made for women's rights?
