today at the vatican and in the air space over the city of rome, it was dramatic and historic. be pointed out, carefully produced as a television event by and for a catholic church actively dealing with scandal. so close to the pope himself, that it has affected the very number of cardinals who will be allowed to vote on the new one.

the ancient city of rome -- capital of an empire controlling 50 million people on three continents. the entire population of the copan kingdom would have fit within the colosseum. once, rome was smaller. but its political evolution continued where copan's ended. in the sixth century b.c., the monarch of rome was overthrown by the families of aristocrats who lived here in what later became the roman forum. they shared power for five hundred years. but unlike copan, there was plenty of good farm land here. draft animals and the plow transformed the italian countryside. roman society prospered. wealthy families gradually bought land from neighbors who had fallen into debt. the sellers then labored for the new owners as tenant farmers. during the republican period in the first centuries before christ, the wealthiest families formed their own armies. their troops owed loyalty only to their individual general, and not to the state. by sharing power, the families prevented any one leader from consolidating rulership. the family armies combined to conquer territories in europe and northern

well, on this thursday, the pope ascended into the skies above the eternal city of rome. went down, benedict's reign over the church came to an end, like a story out of scripture and a scene out of hollywood. and that's the "cbs evening news" on this historic night. for all of us at cbs news all around the world, good night. >>> >> your realtime captioner: linda marie macdonald >>> good evening, i'm elizabeth cook. >> i'm ken bastida in for allen martin. >>> we learned today that two police detectives gunned down in santa cruz never had a fighting chance. len ramirez has some more details on their final moments and new details on the killer's criminal past. >> reporter: a couple of new developments here today but we are getting a clearer picture a more tragic picture of how those two officers were murdered. they didn't stand a chance when surprised by the gunfire. we are finding more about the shootout between the suspect and officers. new information from someone who was there and said he was a target on the street, as well. >> i was standing right here and looking up an

. >> tell me what you think is last of the rational means test in city of rome. do you think the city now controls the 14th and the 15th amendment and how we look at mak satirizes under them. >> justice of mar, the two tests have a lot in common because in the city of ernie, the katzenbach decision was pointed out as a model of asking the questions that proportionality ask us to address. number one, how does this remedy meet finance a constitutional violation? bass that question and katzenbach. what's the relationship between the two? and then i have to ask the question, all right, this killing a fly with a sledgehammer a fair question because with a search on the core functions of the state, a great deal of caution and care is required. so i think that the rational basis to apply to delegated powers, but here on one hand the solicitor defense under the 14th and 15th amendment say have something doesn't violate common look worse precedent under the 14th amendment is very clear that proportionality attests, but i don't think we would really need to get that far bec

of rome. he specifically talked about the city of rome. what was that about? >> again, this is our hope and at this point it's all speculation. on -- there's been so much centralization in the catholic church in rome over the last 150 years. and i think bishops trying to do their best don't want to be considered just branch managers. the bishop of rome is the pope, but that doesn't mean you're the bishop of the entire world. and too many pontiffs have acted in that way. and have been not giving local bishop it is authority and decision-making power that i think that they want and we're hopefully -- he will pursue that kind of decentralization of authority. >> ifill: even though pope francis wasn't the front-runner, if there is such a thing, since we don't know what goes on inside that conclave, he's still considered or it's been reported he was the runner-up in 2005 to pope benedict. >> it's hard to interpret that. one wonders -- you know, those were 40 votes he supposedly got in 2005 who were not voting for joseph ratzinger and that may indicate a certain amou

the band from the vatican and the band from the city of rome representing civic authorities. with the red capes and feathered hats. saluting each other. greeting each other. that is part of the tradition when the pope gives his blessing to the city and borld. i want to go back to earlier comments. the reason the church has such clear teachings own morals and human sexuality, that flowes from the belief in jesus christ and fidelity to his teachings. i think we need to be careful about picking and choosing which current issues we think the next pope might change. there is a beautiful unity. so many, even catholics, don't understand the true beauty of these teachings. we definitely need to do a better job of communicating those things. >> how do you believe the proper way is to move forward? there is a thirst, as chris talked about, james salt, and you know better than any of us, seeing a modern message from the church and addressing of modern issues, whether they are a message of inclusion or to chris's point, basic message of helping your brother and sift and sister. and not re

navona which stood on foundations of an ancient stadium, a material expression of the idea of eternal rome. the cityad survived 100 years of political and religious turmoil, of war and destruction. despite invasions of european monarchs who'd attempted to conquer the city on the pretext of defending it, it had preserved its independence. most important, the catholic church had survived the rise of protestantism and its challenge to rome's authority. it was an extraordinary period of expansion as european colonization and exploration took its influence to the farthest corners of the earth. this roman catholic renewal, which historians call the counter reformation, was given added purpose and vigor by a remarkable group of visionaries. the spanish mystic and philosopher teresa of avila insisted that everyone could experience intense and personal knowledge of god. igtius loyola, founder of the jesuit teaching order, inspired his followers to go to work with spiritual fervor in the real world, and the missionary francis xavier carried to india and japan the message of the roman church. to fulfill the ne

say -- >> would you tell me what you think is left of the rational means test in katzenbach and city of romedo you think the city of boerne now controls both fourteen -- the fourteenth and the fifteenth amendment and how we look at any case that arises under them? >> justice sotomayor, i think that the two tests have a lot in common because in city of boerne, the katzenbach decision was pointed out as a model of asking the questions that congress in proportionality asked us to address. number one, how does this remedy meet findings of constitutional violation? you've got to ask that question. they asked that question in katzenbach. what is the relation between the two? and then i think you have to ask the question -- all right, you know, is this killing a fly with a sledgehammer, a fair question, because when you start to invade core functions of the states i think that a great deal of caution and care is required. so i think that the rational basis test, the mcculloch test, still applies to delegated powers. but here on the one hand the solicitor defends under the fourteenth and fifteenth a
