john kerry can aboutingbecoming secretary of state is a sign of strength for this administration is being celebrated all over the world. >> senator hagel? >> nor hagel. sorry. >> as head of your security, we're bringing in a highly trained team of professional body doubles. >> they look nothing like me. some of them are black. they're not fooling anybody. >> well, neither are you, homey. welcome to "cbs this morning." while you were sleeping in the west pope benedict xvi made a startling announcement telling vatican cardinals that he will resign at the end of this month. >> after nearly eight years in office the 85-year-old pope says he's no longer strong enough to do the job. reaction is pouring in from around the world and we begin our coverage with alan pizzey in vatican city.
7:02 am
>> reporter: good morning. the announcement took a lot of people by surprise yet it is said the pope had discussed this two weeks ago with two or three people who are very close to him. the pope said he made this decision after long and careful consideration and prayer and thought. in his statement announcing it he said, i have come to the certainty that my strptength, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to the adequate exercise of the petrine ministry meaning he's too tired to go on. the papal spokesman said there was no specific illness that they know of he's not in danger of dying tomorrow or anything but he's just decided it was time to go. he will resign at 8:00 p.m. rome time on february the 28th. afterwards, there will be a conclave of cardinals. they will try to have a new pope elected by march the 24th, which is the beginning of holy week. it's not necessary for them to do it, but the feeling here is that they will probably be able to do that. benedict xvi in the meantime will be at his residence in
7:03 am
castle ga in. dolfo. after that he had go to the residence behind me here, and that is where he will stay because he will not interfere in any way with the new pope. >> it seems from everything we've heard, this is exactly what they seemed to be saying, he felt he could not carry out the duties of pope. >> he's had trouble with his knees, heart problems a few high blood pressure problems. it seems that everything from the job of the pope to carry on the pope requires both spiritual and physical strength, and he felt he could not adequately do that in his present condition, and it was time to go. first time it's been done in several hundred years. it's a very brave decision and sort of as we noticed, very unexpected charlie. >> lots of questions, including what will be his relationship to the new pope.
7:04 am
>> reporter: no relationship at all formally. he would serchl be available for the new pope to speak to but publicly benedict xvi will cease to exist because he can't partake in the conclave because he would be influencing the cardinals about his successor. he can't do that. and he can make no public pronouncements afterwards because that would seen to be usurping the power of the new pope, or stepping in his way. and you can always have the situation where people say, i like the old guy better. i'm going to listen to him. they can't have that happen. the pope will simply retreat back into vatican city and not be heard from again in public. >> thank you. with us now is author david van beema, he spent more than a decade as the chief religion writer for "time" magazine and joins us now. david, good morning. >> good morning. >> this is the first pope to resign in six centuries. this is incredibly unusual. were you shocked when you heard the news? >> i was shocked at the timing.
7:05 am
but i was not shocked he had resigned. he had already written from time to time it was appropriate for a pope to resign. >> he had written that in his 2010 book "light of the world," where if a pope realizes they are no longer physically able it would be their obligation to resign. what does this mean for his legacy? >> the papacy which is relatively short, the combination of that and the sex abuse scandal, probably means we'll see him in 50 years or something like that as the consolidation of the conservative movement of the papacy. he will be seen as the second part of the john paul ii papacy rather than as somebody who made a huge mark of his own, at least not in terms of the wider world. >> beyond those efforts, was he trying to change the church in any way? >> he came in saying he was willing to make the church smaller if it would make it holier, which to some extent he may have achieved. he believed in internal
7:06 am
evangelization. >> what do you think of the timing of this february 28th? it means we'll have a new pope by easter. >> it's remarkable. i can't imagine what kind of jockeying will again to go on. it's fascinating to think who may be next. >> david, thank you very much. . this morning at st. patrick's cathedral in new york, the archbishop of new york cardinal timothy dolan, said he is as shocked as anyone to hear the pope is stepping down. >> i always admired him as a s scholar, as a priest as a holy man, and now my admiration for him is even higher because of his humility. i don't have any insider information, but i would presume that his esteem for the office and as the chief pastor of the church universal, that esteem is so high that in all humility he simply said, i can't do it
7:07 am
anymore. every catholic feels close to the pope. we call him our holy father. so there's a bit of sadness. it's like watching your own dad fold and admit he's not up to the duties that being the head of the family involves. there's a sovereigness there. there's a sadness there. when you watch a pope in action you know he's constantly surrounded by people who are literally pushing at him just to see him, just to whisper something, a request for prayers to his ears. you're kind of getting jostled all the time. so i'm not surprised he was decaying to balance himself. so this man at 85 if i'm not mistaken, he'll be 86 in april, that this man was well aware of his physical limitations. i was not privy to it but i'm told, when he was elected as successor of st. peter back in 2005 he shrugged and said to his brother cardinals boy, i
7:08 am
sure don't have the strength or durability that blessed john paul ii had. he's been well aware of his frailty. there's been no secret that he himself asked blessed john paul ii if he could resign as when he was prefekt to the congregation of the doctrine of the faith, and pope john paul ii said i really need you with me. and, of course he did. he listened to john paul. he's been well aware of his own, the fragility of his health for a while. >> cardinal dolan continues to amaze me as how reasoned he sounds and how remarkable he pulls all the factors together. >> there are some 117, i think it is, cardinals under the age of 80 who will vote in the new conclave, but only 11 of them are american. that's why people say cardinal dolan maybe doesn't have a shot at becoming the next pope unless he garnered international support. >> it would be interesting to watch. earlier, we spoke with the dean of georgetown college and theology professor at georgetown university. he is an expert on catholicism
7:09 am
and on pope benedict. is it possible they will look to a younger pope because of this? >> yes, anything is possible. i think he was elected at a fairly advanced age, and people thought it would be a short papacy. i predicted at the time it would be at least ten years. it's close. when you choose a younger pope however, you have to remember it is a lifetime appointment. so if you pick someone who's 50 with our longevity, you could have a pope for the next 40 or 45 years. they have to think about that very carefully. >> what's the most important thing pope benedict xvi has achieved? >> i think he's brought a certain stability to the church in light of the crises of the sexual abuse kriscrises which it needed very much. he's also reached out to the developing world for the church. not so much to europe and america, but really to the developing world where catholicism is growing dramatically. that's where he's found the future of the church. >> do you think that cardinal timothy dolan of new york here is a possibility for the next
7:10 am
pope? >> i think actually he is. it's remote because america is so powerful already. so to have someone from our country being pope is adding power. i think the italian cardinals will think differently about that. i think perhaps they would like the papacy back. but certainly cardinal dolan is known very well and is very popular. >> what about somebody from latin america or from asia. >> that's also a possibility. it was a possibility the last time around. it didn't happen. i think, at this point, it could be anyone. i do think the italians will want the papacy back. >> dean many people just cannot get over this morning, just how stunning this is as you pointed out, just hasn't happened in 600 years, a pope resigning. that's what leaves the giant question mark. is there something else other than his health? when you heard the news this morning, what did you think? >> i was actually shocked, i think, as everyone was. i had just gotten up. we had the television on.
7:11 am
i said to my wife the pope has resigned. she looked incredulous. popes don't resign. so it is very surprising. as i said, unprecedented. what the next move will be not only for the next pope but to have a former pope looking over his shoulder will be very different from any pope in previous history. >> when you think about him and what he might do, is it likely he'll stay at the vatican and be there for the next pope to consult with and be advised by? >> no one knows but i would not be surprised if he returned to his native germany where he's been a distinguished theologian for all of his career. that would not surprise me at all. and that would, in a sense, take him off the scene in the vatican and the new person could set his own agenda. >> we mentioned earlier this business about the butler and how that might have affected him. how did it affect him? >> i'm sure that it did because, when there's some betrayal
7:12 am
internally, almost in your household, i can't imagine that you don't take that personally. i'm sure that was just more. it's been a heavy burden for him. he's been a wonderful pope but i've always wondered, does he really enjoy being pope? it was very clear that john paul ii enjoyed every minute of the papacy. i think that benedict has seen it as a significant burden to carry, and he's carried it with dignity, but i think he had a different disposition towards the office. >> and what is the state of the catholic church these days? >> well, it depends upon where you look. in some places it's very healthy and growing, as i suggested. in other places it's declining in numbers, and it's suffering financially. so it's a very mixed script that the new pope will face. and there are divisions within the church between liberals and conservatives, as there always are. sometimes they've been exacerbated in recent years. >> dean chester gillis of georgetown university. good to see you. thank you so much. now to the severe weather in

the south and northeast. on sunday a tornado ripped through hundreds of homes and buildings around hattiesburg, mississippi. more than a dozen people were hurt, but so far no deaths have been reported. mississippi's governor has declared a state of emergency, and he plans to visit the area this morning. ross adams of our jackson affiliate, wjtv is in hattiesburg. >> reporter: i'm standing here at the alumni house on the campus of the university of southern mississippi, which suffered major damage. just to give you an idea here's a picture of what this building looked like before the tornado blew through. unfortunately, there are similar scenes of devastation all across the region. the monster tornado whipped up large chunks of debris as it reportedly ripped through at least four mississippi counties sunday. >> oh, my god. i've never seen a tornado before in my life. >> reporter: witnesses say it was nearly a mile wide. >> people's lives being destroyed right now. >> reporter: the twister roared down one of the main streets in the town of hattiesburg. >> it's hit the interstate! >> reporter: knocking out power

intelligence estimate this is really the consensus of all 16 intelligence agencies on a problem, so this is going to be a fairly authoritative document that's sounding the alarm that china -- well, picture this. two giant aircraft hangars full of military people who work 24/7 hacking into u.s. government databases, private corporation databases. >> you mean those are chinese hackers doing that. >> yes yes. and they're working for the government. these aren't guys doing it for entertaining. here's the difference. we do that too. all countries do that. the difference -- i think the alarm the report sounds is china does it not just for political and military secrets, they're stealing trade secrets to get china ahead. obviously the breaking story this morning about is the pope but this is a fascinating story to me. it's a war that's already going,

going to want to borrow money, you're going need to have a good credit rating and yet i've had problems. how do you prevent this from happening? >> first and foremost is get your report. i did research. there are 200 million credit reports out there times three agencies. that's 6 million reports. between 2004 and 2010 only 25 million were accessed each year. that's less than 5%. so many of us aren't even checking. grow to annualcreditreport.com. that's the only place you can get it for free. forget those guys singing. they'll figure out a way to charge you. and make sure you stagger the reports when you get them. so there are three agencies. one every four months. >> isn't the most common is people who have the same name and then their bad caret it ends up on your report? >> that's exactly right. same name or similar social security numbers. but it can be something very bizarre like, you know, anything can happen. i pulled mine once and it showed that i lived in arizona.
7:45 am
i've never lived there. now interestingly i corrected mine and there was no problem. >> so you usually have these credit agencies they blame the banks and the merchants but who really bears responsibility. >> okay. when you read the details of the federal credit report act, the fair credit report act, you see the language is very different. for the credit rating agencies they say they have a duty to investigate. but for the creditors, they say they have an obligation to report correct information, and they give very specific steps that the creditors must take to correct the information, including contacting you within 30 days after you've said that something's wrong on your credit report. so to me right now when you read it it's a little gray but the credit terms themselves seem to have a higher level of responsibility. >> mellody hobson good information. thank you so much. a lot of music fans rated last night's grammys as great. there were plenty of winners. did you watch? we'll take you to the

7:59 am
we'll show you the winners, the fashion, and a bit of onstage magic. nancy o'dell has it all, but first here is a look at today's eye opener at 8:00. >> he said he could not adequately do that in his present condition. >> pope benedict xvi told cardinals he'll resign at the end of the month. >> this is the first pope to resign in six centuries. >> >> the catholic church has grappled with a series of sexual abuse scandals. does this have anything to do with that? >> oh, i think everything has something do with it. sunday a tornado ripped through hundreds of homes and buildings through hattiesburg, mississippi. more than a dozen people were hurt. >> the university of southern mississippi suffered massive damage. >> this search is not a matter of if it's a matter of when and
8:00 am
i want christopher dorner to know that. >> a cyber war that china is attacking the united states and is trying to steal military secrets and others, correct? >> way past trying. >> a lot of music fans at last night's grammys. there were plenty of winners. did you watch? >> watch the "eye opener." >> this is for charlie rose. >> i'm charlie rose with gayle king and norah o'donnell. it's been nearly 600 years since a pope resigned but this morning pope benedict xvi says he'll step down at the end of february. >> the pope is 85. he says he's no longer strong enough in mind and body to lead the roman catholic church. his announcement set off a scramble inside the vatican today. allen pizzey is in vatican city with the latest. allen, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle and charlie. the papal spokesman said his
8:01 am
staff, the pope's staff was incredulous at his announcement. the pope in a statement said he had examined his conscience before god and he said, quote, i have come to the certainty that my strength, due to an advanced ager, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the petrine ministry. papal spokesman said there was no specific reason they knew that he had done it. it was strictly on the matters of health. it wasn't because of the pressures he has incurred over the past couple of years with the sex abuse scandal and the papal butler resigning. interestingly now, they want to have a new pope in time for the march 24th holy week, the most difficult and important week in the church calendar over easter. the pope resigns on february 28. they'll have a conclave, which gives them less than three weeks to elect a pope. the church seems convinced it can do that. conclaves have gone on for as long as a year, but this one will have to be a lot quicker. they are going to have to make
8:02 am
it a lot quicker because they need a pope in time for holy week. the pope can delegate some of his authority but not all of it and it seems unlikely he'll delegate holy week. with us on the phone, greg burke, senior adviser to the vatican. good morning. >> good morning. >> did the holy father share this with anybody because it's stunning to everybody, even people inside the vatican. >> he did share with some of the top officials. i got a heads-up this morning from the chief of staff, the pope's secretary and one other person. the cardinal's secretary of state, they have known for weeks but other than that, it was really, really kept quiet. i found out a couple hours earlier, it was a surprise, but maybe not a shock. >> why so quick, the resignation? >> i think it doesn't leave a whole lot of time for confusing the interregnum, what they call the period between two popes. can always be a time for confusion. he doesn't want to leave too
8:03 am
much time for that. this will be interesting. a couple weeks still. he officially resigns on the 28th at the end of the month to be precise, 8:00 p.m. rome time and everything happens like a regular conclave, except this time you don't have the nine days of mourning for the pope so they can get off to their regular meetings and as allen pizzey was mentioning, i'm not sure they need a new pope for holy week but we certainly expect to have a new pope by easter. >> greg, he mentioned his age. what can you tell us about his health? >> the pope will be 86 in april. he has a brother who's a few years older than he is. so he certainly comes from good stock. although he's never been known for robust athletic kelt, there's no doubt about that. i think what we've seen the pope was already pretty old when he was elected. he was elected at 78. you've seen him slip a bit. he started using a cane, obviously having more difficulty negotiating steps and things
8:04 am
like that and probably looked a little more tired as well. you know, i noticed it in a speech just the other night. he spoke off the cuff for about a half hour and he's perfectly lucid, but he looks tired. elves the job is way too demanding and way too important for him to just soldier on because that's the tradition. he leaves it in god's hands, his words. i made an examination of conscience before god. he obviously reflected and prayed about this for a long time. he's always been someone who's been very serene. i think that's important to notice. he's very much at peace with this decision. >> so there's no specific illness that you know of. >> no, no, no. no specific illness. one of the knees is not very good and i think it's the right knee and that's why he started using the cane. i was always a little nervous when i saw him going up and down steps. i wanted to make sure somebody was close to him. but there's not anything specific where the pope is in grave condition right now.
8:05 am
>> thank you. we're once again joined by the professor of georgetown university, an expert on catholicism and popes. good morning. >> good morning. >> i was looking at the pope's book, "light of the world" where he did say if a pope no longer felt spiritually, physically psychologically able to carry out the duties he would have an obligation to resign. so was he laying the foundation for it then? >> that sounds exactly like what he did, anticipating that his health might be declining and that for the good of the church someone younger should take over. it's unprecedented but generous. it's easy to hold onto that candidate of power and notoriety, but to let it go is really a humble act. >> there's also this. he had many unfinished projects,
8:06 am
and so what will happen to those first? and he must have been reluctant to give those up. >> well, i imagine that he is reluctant to give it up, but there'll be a successor. there's often significant continuity between popes, so i don't anticipate radical changes with a new pope and i don't think he'll anticipate that either, although he'll have to give free reign to the next pontiff, of course. >> dean gillis, what do you think his legacy will be? >> i think his legacy will be having solidified the church during a very difficult period with the sexual abuse scandal. that landed on his desk after john paul's desk and it only became exacerbated over the years both in the moral turpitude, but also financial consequences of this. that was a financial burden to bear. he stood up to that. it was not always easy and it's had a deleterious effect on the church, but i think he's brought us through a very difficult period.

under 7.5%. england's "the telegraph" says affleck's "argo" took top awards. it's valentine's week so "the wall street journal" says dating coaches are seeing a big surge in clients this month. the coaches offer services from match making to flirting. they say people get proactive about finding a mate after seeing all the comes on valentine's day. the old saying walk softly and carry a big stick could apply to mike piazza. he let his bat do most of the talking. when mike piazza launched a home run into the night in the first game played in new york after 9/11, he cemented his place as a new york legend. known for his lightning quick hands and power he struck terror
8:31 am
in the minds of pitchers. >> he ranks with any of them and that's elite. >> reporter: from an early arjs piazza dedicated himself to one thing, hitting a baseball. he seemed to have every advantage. >> hold your bat flat. >> reporter: as a teenager he got batting tips from one of the greatest pitchers of all time ted williams. but in his senior year of high school when baseball draft day came, mike piazza waited by a phone that never rang. two years later as a favor to tommy lasorda, the dodgers elected him. it was a courtesy pick. it wasn't supposed to amount to anything. >> it's part of what makes him unique, that he came from that lowly beginning to become the greatest offensive catcher in major league history. >> reporter: though he playing for five teams in his career, he made his first name with the dodgers and later with the new
8:32 am
york mets. when he was finally done in 2007 he hit 427 home runs and set the record for the most ever by a catcher. >> the greatest home-run-hitting catcher in the history of the game. >> mike pea stay za has written a book with lonnie wheeler, "long shot." >> thank you. >> you're also a good catholic. were you surprised? >> stunned. if you think there's going to be a former pope for the first time in 600 years, that's truly groundbreaking. i was there about a month ago because i do some work with the italian program and wimt to the papal mass and one thing i noticed was how frail he was, so it seems to be more probably of a health decision than anything. you know. >> you write in your book that your faith is a fundamental cornerstone of your life. >> yeah. it's everything to me. and that's one of the things i want to impart upon people is, you know how it can be a rock for yu in your life.
8:33 am
in going through adversity and going through tough times, that, you know for me it was always you know something of comfort to help me get through where i feel like i was, you know truly going through some tough times. >> you of course have been talked about as a future hall of famer your entire career. were you disappointed? >> i was a little disappointed, sure, but if you keep it in perspective, i mean i did get 59%. if you think about joe da imagine owe took three ballots, you know, to get in. there was a lot of players that really didn't get in in the first bout. the first bout is definitely an honor. i'll always be a fan before player. as i look at it i was definitely honored. >> do you think you deserve to be in it? >> i think my career speaks for itself. i mean, yes, you look at my numbers and my position throughout history, i would put my numbers up against any player. >> the most home runs by any catcher. >> yeah. i mean i had a great run, and
8:34 am
you know i was somewhat adorable. not always adorable. >> but was the key do you how fast your hands were? >> yeah. i did a lot of training and had a lot of great coaching. i mean i learned from ted williams when i was a kitsch and my first hitting coach with the dodgers was reggie smith who was a direct disciple of ted williams. so i always had the ability to hit the ball and have good hand/eye coordination but i couldn't define it until i had the coaching by ted and reggie who put it into practice. >> you write that you enjoyed the game but wish you had taken time to enjoy it more. you say you played more for your dad than yourself which surprised me. >> my dad was my inspiration. he believed in me more than i believed in myself. he was always there kind of like that olimbympic parent. i think back any player always has to have a great family supporting them.
8:35 am
but, yeah it just was a lot of pressure. i mean coming back to new york i remember it wasn't -- it really wasn't always -- i wasn't able to enjoy it because i truly felt a lot of pressure and that's what i write about, you know. >> when you look at the career was there one moment one hit, one time at bat that you'll always remember? >> i mean just coming back to new york and going through the tunnel and looking at the freedom tower, i mean being in new york through 9/11 and for me that was -- you know to be in the first game professional game after 9/11 is really something that -- it was life-changing for me. it totally shifted my sort of priorities in life, made me realize how important family was and i was eventually able to settle down and have my own kids and how important the little things are. so that was really ground shaking for me. >> can i ask you about the state of major league baseball and certainly the focus on performance-enhancing drugs. i mean obviously a number of the other people that were on the ballot, sammy sosa barry bonds,
8:36 am
roger clemens, have denied those allegations. what do you think about the state of baseball and drug use? >> i think the state of baseball is actually pretty good and i think they've been very proactive in trying to combat and address that issue. i mean i hate the fact that it happened to the game but, you know, the game has had scandal back through history. back through the black sox, i went through two major strikes. they have been very proactive in addressing those issues. >> you also say you know there will be some people who will never believe your story and not believe and you say to them what? >> i just say to them i really played the game the right way and i have a clear conscience. i really love this game. >> do you believe that people who used performance-enhancing drugs should be allowed in the hall? >> i think it's individual. i think one size doesn't fit
8:37 am

alert down in los angeles which means most day-to-day calls are not being met to make sure we find this guy. so it's a chilling moment. there's a lot of fear out there, and when it comes to law enforcement and the community and the family that is law enforcement, this is serious business. >> do you know if they're close or are finding it's taking too long? he's on every screen and everybody in california is looking for him. do you know if they're close? >> i don't know that said. usually rewards are done to raise aware nsz or raise the alarm bell that we're serious on this. we're hopeful. when you take out family members in a direct -- you talk about a kill list, disgraceful. so this is serious stuff. >> and so what do you think of governor brown so far? >> i think he's done an excellent job getting california solvent again, and that's not an insignificant thing. four years ago we project add
