 unity by an English Orthodox Bishop involved in the ‘peace process’, I got the impression a major concern is the difference between Papal Supremacy and Papal Primacy, and that the Pope, as things stand now, as implied by his name (‘the Holy Father’), technically has absolute power—can override collegiality—if he so chooses to use it.

So—if this is at all possible in reality??—if I found myself as Pope for the day, I imagine I might spend the day in prayer, talking with the Lord about whether He wants me to renounce the Papacy and default to Bishop of Rome. If He said yes, then perhaps I would spend the rest of the day announcing and proposing the Primacy of this seat to the Christian world (the RCC and all other trinitarian baptising churches and even those Christian churches that are not but might be open to conforming). Or I could pass this responsibility on to my successor.
Of course, even if this is technically possible, it may not be God’s will…?
Or it may not be possible, yet it is God’s will…?!

I believe one ought to look up Canon Law 349 and 351 to understand ‘cardinals’ I think the last cardinal of the laity(I may be wrong) was in 1858 was only for a ‘day.
The College of Cardinals are those that are able to vote for the next Pope..
Deacons were if unmarried could move on to be ordained to the Priesthood
We are all through our baptism the Priesthood of the Laity.
Ordained priests celebrate Holy Mass, Deacons in my thinking remain still a part of the laity if they are married one flesh, when their wife dies then they can be ordained to the Priesthood
They are very useful now as they can be a help to the priests,.Jobs as milliganp called it.
So neither female or males can be called a Cardinal in the sense that gets misunderstood to undermine females.

If I were Pope for a day I could not see any reason why mothers who have grown up children or perhaps single or widows can not be a part of the diaconate of the ‘Laity’.
They are no different than a married deacon.

unity by an English Orthodox Bishop involved in the ‘ peace process ’, I got the stamp a major business is the difference between Papal Supremacy and Papal Primacy, and that the Pope, as things digest immediately, as implied by his name (‘ the Holy Father ’), technically has absolute might — can overrule collegiality — if he so chooses to use it. 

 So — if this is at all potential in reality??—if I found myself as Pope for the day, I imagine I might spend the day in entreaty, talking with the Lord about whether He wants me to foreswear the Papacy and default to Bishop of Rome. If He said yes, then possibly I would spend the rest of the day announcing and project the Primacy of this seat to the Christian world (the RCC and all early trinitarian baptising church and even those Christian churches that are not but might be receptive to conforming). Or I could pass this responsibility on to my successor. 
 Of course, even if this is technically potential, it may not be God ’s will …? 
 Or it may not be possible, yet it is God ’s will …? !
