so, the vatican says there will be a new pope in time for easter? >> that is right. starting in the 24 to march. you can bet that they will see a lot of wheeling and dealing going on in the vatican before that. lots of different powers within the decision making body to choose the next pope. a lot of speculation as well. not just a month the world's catholics. but people asking why the pope chose this moment to stand down. he says he is tired. there has been a lot of speculation about ill health. a few moments ago there was a press conference from the spokespeople for the vatican. they said there were no serious health issues and that the pope had operation on his pacemaker not long ago, but that this had to do with internal politics, which will also affect who will be the next pope. there are lots of pulp makers wandering around here on the streets and in other parts of the world. for more on that we go to matthew price. >> towards the vatican and the secrets held within. the tourists focus on the sites. behind them, behind the stunning facades officials are already

why would you not wait until after easter? and they continue to have these questions. i think it is interesting. i do not think he is stepping down because of health reasons, and i do not think that is what is statement was saying. whether or not there are other issues that will come up later, i guess that will tell the story, but there are many reports coming out. some are saying that this decision was made last year, that there are other things that went into this decision, but people have questions. as i said, i think time will tell the story. i think maybe that, yes, he decided it is a good decision to acknowledge that some one, you know, who is feeling frail is not able to lead the vatican, and in that case, it means he is making a great decision for catholicism because he is bringing the church forward into the 21st century acknowledging we need strong leadership, and this might be a way to do that. tavis: that notion of bringing the church into the 21st century can be deconstructs and i guess 18 million different ways, so let me come at it from this perspective.
