here is my pick, cardinal angelo scola, just barely young enough to make it.he biggest thing he has going in his favor, the pope wants him, and there are a lot of voting cardinals who owe the pope. a majority were picked by the fellow right there, his holiness. about 56%, closeo the two-thirds needing to win. he's italian, that always helps. he's european. 62, a majority are from europe. you know how political i'm getting here? i'm just starting here, melinda. this is a political enterprise. it's a secular event, and it's an election, very democratic. my bet is that this pope wants a quick election because he has a successor, and he wants that successor to be his guy scola from milan. your thoughts? >> i agree with you that i think scola is the most likely outcome, but i do not see benedict as trying to have a big impact on the election because i really think that of the people who are possible to take on this role, there's very little difference on them -- among them on policy, on what would come next, on, as you said, things like contraception, ordination of

the top candidate from latin america and ann low scola is considered one of the strongest european candidates. pope benedict is stepping down because the 85-year-old says he no longer has the physical or mental strength to lead. the vatican justice said that he received a pacemaker before he became leader of the catholic church in 2005. and recently secretly had the battery replaced. there is no word yet when the conclave to elect a new pope will gather at the vatican. but church officials say they would like to have his replacement before easter at the end of march. the vatican says the holy father will have no role in picking his successor. >> will surely say absolutely nothing. >> after stepping down, pope benedict will spend his time praying and reflecting at a former monostary once renovations are completed. danielle nottingham, the vatican. >>> the next pope will probably decide benedict's new title. he could possibly be called your holiness as a courtesy similar to how retired presidents are referred to as president. >>> news of the pope's resignation arrive like a bolt of lightning. l

. >> he saw cardinal scola greet pope benedict earlier. i don't think there's anyone who is an obvious front-runner but he would be one of the most talked about candidates. he's an intellectual protege. he's considered one of the church's experts in relationships with islam. he founded a project in 2004 called the oasis project creating a platform for dialogue between christians and muslims, particularly in the middle east. a lot of qualities cardinals would find attractive. >> you said the roman catholic church has always been interested and eager to see a political settlement between israel and the palestinians. that having been said, it was pope benedict xvi who actually caused a bit of a storm of controversy with the muslim world in one of his first speeches shortly after being elected. >> yes, that's right, in 2006 when he quoted a 14th century byzantine emperor linking him with violence. an italian fun was shot to death in mogadishu. another was shot to death in turkey. on the other hand on the back of all that, it should be said tha

the strongest european candidate may be italian cardinal anglo scola. north america has a potential front-runner in the form of canadian cardinal mark ouillette. an american pope is seen as an extreme long shot, although cardinal timothy dolan of new york would be a popular choice. benedict's last public appearance, major public appearance, to be to preside over the ash wednesday ceremonies. he cannot take part in a conclave to choose his successor but his influence will be felt in what is being seen as a battle between liberals and conservatives to chart the future of the church a loot sooner than any of them expected to have to do. >> rose: joining me now, garry wills, a life long scholar of religion and catholicism and author of a new book called "why priests? a failed tradition." i'm pleased to have garry wills back at this table. so what do you think? this -- everybody is fascinated by this story. look how big this is in the "new york times." >> oh, yes. well, changing -- a change in the church is kind of an exciting -- >> rose: changing a changele

and archbishop angelo scola of milan, who has a strong power base.oughly 120 cardinals will gather under heavy security and beneath a cloak of secrecy for the conclave to choose a new pope inside the sistine chapel. every time they vote, they burn the ballot. black smoke means no pope yet. white smoke, a winner. it's not like voting for a president, where you're voting for the guy who will lower your taxes. >> precisely. i want to vote as god wants. that's a very scary thing. >> reporter: scary, indeed. one more picture i want to show you this morning. this is the building where pope benedict will live once he officially steps down on february 28th, at exactly 8:00 p.m. this is a former monastery inside vatican city. for months, construction crews have been rehabbing this building. during that entire time, only a few top vatican officials actually knew this would ultimately become the pope's retirement home. george, back to you. >> almost everyone in the dark. >>> let's get more from greg burke, who is in rome this morning. thanks for joining us, gre

michael scola, editor in chief of blackglobal.com.ay it shocked a lot of us when we saw these two stories? >> well, it's obviously shocking. anytime, anybody slaps a baby, that's just not going to be acceptable. but what's really interesting to me, clearly alcohol was involved. and my dad told me that a drunk will tell all secrets. not that he's a drunk, but the secret is there's a lot of racial anxiety that a lot of americans have that they're afraid to express. and in this case, it slipped out because the baby wasn't just a loud baby to him it was a loud black baby which made it worse. he's going to pay a price for that, as it should. >> michael, what do you make of this, the "n" word was used. make that very clear. do you think this comes from anger, rage, stress? or is this downright some people who are still racist back in 2013? >> suzanne, i think that this country, we are certainly going through some growing pains. i don't look at it as a stepback. i think there's growing pains in this nation, there are a lot of folks who are t

possible candidate to be pope would be the current cardinal of milan, an italian by the name of angela scola benedict, considered like pope benedict a very serious intellectual, a media savvy figure with a strong, popular touch, but in addition someone over the years who has developed a specialty of outreach and dialog with the islamic world through a foundation he created first in venice, which has gone global, and christian/must limb relations are among the top-shelve priorities, and whoever takes over as leader of the catholic church. that would be one name you are likely to hear a great deal about in the days to come, but an old saying in rome, he who goes into a conclave as a papal front-runner comes out as a cardinal, you can't necessarily take to the bank that the names you hear mentioned in public are the ones being seriously considered by the cardinals once they are behind locked doors in the sistine chapel, swearing their oaths in latin and casting their ballots. >> let's talk more about pope been duct ibenedict xvi, let's about his legacy. what will be talking about when we look b
