>> shawn o'malley has become one of the surprise front-runner in the last few days. if you asked me a few weeks ago if he was a contender, no one would have given him a chance. but he is one of the assuring cardinals in there. bringing a breath of fresh air to the catholic church. one of the issues, that's the next pope will have to address, of course sexual abuse. sexual abuses around the world have rocked the catholic church along with other scandals, including the vatican. but sexual abuse is what is on the mind of everybody and certainly shawn o'malley is one of those who can really come here with a reputation of somebody who's really done something about it. he has of course tackled sex abuse in case, not only with boston of course. is that enough for shawn o'malley to become pope? some say that he's quiet personality. his reassurance will work against him because of course that means someone with a strong hand to be both holy father but also a businessman who can take the reins of the catholic church and vatican and bring it forward. >> just to remind people of

shawn o'malley or tim dolan from new york, the new york archbishop, pretty unlikely, but it's possibleope might be able to come in and tackle the sex abuse scandal which is one of the big things they're going to have to deal with. perhaps the austrian archbishop, brianna, he's taken a top line on this. but there are about ten different cardinals, argentine in a, brazil, peter turkson from africa, from ghana, so it's a wide open field. it's interesting because you need a super majority, 2/3. 77 votes. so it's going to be someone who is a compromise candidate probably. someone who appeals to various different sections of the cardinals, not someone who is an outright favorite. i think someone who's a compromise candidate. that leaves it wide open. >> they certainly have their work cut out for them as this abuse case is raising questions at the vatican. dan rivers for us in rome. thank you for that. >>> former south african president nelson mandela is back in the hospital. officials say it's just for a routine checkup though. the 94-year-old civil rights icon was hospitalized back in decem

shawn o'mally from boston. just to give you background on each one of them. he wants to bring back the joy to religion is something he has been focused on. sean o'malley is multilingual. something that is that has provided him with high praise from others in the college of cardinals. he really, of the nine potential front runners, he is the one who is considered the outsider. he has nerved in the vatican as many of the others have. another leading candidate -- we will know who it is within an hour or so. >> thank you very much for filling in the details. we have larry kudlow phoning into us. you are a roman catholic yourself. what do you feel the church needs right now in this new pope? >> i liked a lot of the things i heard from mary. i just divided this up into a couple of issues. cardinal dolan was my favorite because i happen to know him. i somehow don't think it will be him. the vatican bank is an absolute mess and it has got to be cleaned up. and the new pope has got to appoint brand new people to the board and the key officers of that bank. that bank is such a darn mess right now and it's got to be cleaned up. otherwise they will be in trouble
