cardinal keith o'brien is abruptly resigning amidst allegations of inappropriate acts. i thought oh, my god not again letting your son be an an altar boy is like letting your daughter date chris brown for the second time. but he's making sexual advances against fully adult priests. in this point is seems hitting on someone who is old enough to shave. once again a catholic who says hit the sin love the sinner is revealed to hit the sinner but digs the sin. now o'brien is out. this means he won't be able to vote for the new pope at the papal enclave cardinal mahoney who protected the priests and mored them. add this to reports of widespread corruption within the

it's a pontificate which has been tinged with scandal and abuse, the resignation of o'brien. on the other hand, i think people will look back at benedict xvi as being a great theologian and man of spirituality and who carried on his predecessor, john paul ii. back to you. >> we know this particular pope was a scholar and a lot of people are questioning whether or not there will be a more progressive pope going forward. have you heard any talk about that? >> well, i think that clearly being scholarly is important, being pastoral, possibly rather more important. benedict xvi had a pastoral heart but it wasn't always on display. in terms of whether we'll have a big reformer, i would be quite cautious on that. we'll have to wait and see what the cardinals decide. back to you. >> charles hodson, thank you very much. appreciate it. >>> we will talk to monsignor hilgartner, coming up. >>> and a cnn special on the pope's last day, anchored by erin burnett and quis cuomo in new york and christiane amanpour in rome. it will be simulcast on cnni. >>> the pope will begin meeting with the
