in 2013 benedict became the first pope in 600 years to resign saying that at age 85, he was no longer up to the job. his successor, pope francis, is 86. the path could be clear now for him to step down. cbs' chris livesay is in rome tonight with more on the death of the german-born pope and his impact on the worldwide church. chris, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, adriana. with benedict's death in unchartered waters because he was not a sitting pope, however, we do know that starting monday his body will be lying in state, and on thursday pope francis will preside over his funeral here at the vatican, which benedict continued to call home after he shocked the world in 2013 and resigned. nothing defined benedict xvi's pontificate so clearly as its ending with his majestic farewell flight over the eternal city. benedict had become the first pope in more than 600 years to

resign. [ speaking non-english ] he said his mental and physical strength had deteriorated to the point that he had to "recognize my incapacity to fulfill the ministry entrusted to me." [ cheers ] he became pope at age 78. born joseph ratzinger in a small germantown in 1927, he was forced to join the hitler youth at age 14, and in 1943 was conscripted into an anti-aircraft unit in the german army. he deserted and was taken prisoner by the americans. he entered the priesthood after the war, rose to become a cardinal and earned the nickname "god's rottweiler" as a rigid enforcer of church policy. critics hit out at his slow response to the decades of cover-up of the scandal of sexual abuse by priests and then came the scandal of leaked documents that disclosed corruption and mismanagement in the vatican. still, he initiated some of the

changes the next pope, francis, would later get credit for. he began the reform of vatican finances and was the first pope to meet with victims of sex abuse and to publicly apologize condemning what he called "filth in the church." when he was 94, a new scandal would threaten his legacy, accusations of misconduct in his handling of sex abuse cases more than four decades earlier when he was archbishop of munich. benedict's lawyers denied any cover-up, and benedict asked for forgiveness. a scholar who had wanted nothing more than to hide in academia, benedict made an indelible mark on the church and history when he became the pope who decided it was time to go. adriana, with benedict's death, francis is finally the only pope here, but for how long? he revealed earlier this month that he already has his own resignation letter ready to submit if his own health ever impedes his work. pope benedict was 85 years old

when he resigned. pope francis today is 86. >> chris livesay, thank you. tonight, barbara walters is being remembered for transforming the world of broadcast news in a barrier-breaking career spanning half a century. she asked delicate questions directly. >> in our country we read that you are unstable. >> reporter: interviewing heads of state. >> are you sorry you didn't burn the tapes? >> reporter: as easily as hollywood royalty. >> was he the love of your life? >> reporter: walters' career eliciting truth and tears started in 1961 as a writer on nbc's "today" show and then this break covering paris fashion. >> every day i had to go and look at fashion shows. >> hmm. >> and then i had to have lunch at maxine's and drink champagne. >> oh, good. >> i mean, it was so trying that i took absolutely the very last plane i could to get back here today. >> reporter: her wit and grit fast got her to the lead story. walters left nbc for abc where she became the first woman

ever to co-anchor a network evening newscast earning $1 million a year in 1976, more than any anchor ever, male or female. she went on to co-host "20/20" as well as barbara walters specials. >> what will you tell your cildren? >> mommy made a big mistake. >> reporter: walters was married four times to three men and is survived by her daughter jacqueline. >> i had had three miscarriages, and my husband and i decided that we would adopt a child. >> reporter: at 67, an age when many retire, she created "the view," a show that changed the landscape of daytime televisio. in 2014, when she did retire, she spoke to gayle king. >> barbara, there's not a woman on tv today that can't look back and say, if it wasn't you, then there wouldn't be me, and that's the most important thing to you as you sit here? >> it is the most important thing to me.
