some vatican watchers see it as a showdown between the romans and the reformers, cardinals, many from other countries, who want the next pope to more aggressively take on issues like sex abuse by priests and alleged corruption. the romans appear to be coalescing not around an italian cardinal, but around cardinal odilo pedro sherer, from brazil. the reformers are actually set to be backing an italian, cardinal angela scola of o milan. while openly campaigning for pope is frowned upon, both men made closely watched appearances at churches on sunday. another contender, an american, cardinal timothy dolan of new york, also greeted well wishers at the local church he's affiliated with here in rome. the u.s. has the second biggest voting bloc of cardinals behind the italians. the next pope could also be a cardinal from ghana, peter turkson, who works in the
>> a lot of controversy, weigh in on facebook. >> please, let us know. one of the most successful women in america says not enough women in the workplace are getting ahead. you might be surprised where she places the blaming, the big hollywood gamble on reviving "the wizard of oz." did it pay off at the box office? ornet then...it wouldn'te stouffer's mac & cheese. just one of over 70 satisfying recipes for one from stouffer's.
a new pope has been named. >> the last thing they want is for the sistine chapel to turn into a smoke-filled room. >> reporter: it is where michelangelo applied his hand, a specialized stove goes along with the chimney. it does take time for the smoke to go from gray to either white or or black. >> one of the bits of drama about a conclave is that the catholic church normally is a highly scripted, imminently predictable enterprise. you know exactly what is going to happen and you know when it's going to happen. but with a conclave in a sense, all bets are off. >> reporter: the conclave, their decision shrouded in secrecy and tradition. and some modern twists. electronic jamming equipment ensures no one inside or outside the conclave knows the result before it's ready to be announced. >> i'm ready to go home. i ran out of socks. >> reporter: the front-runners, out in force in rome. there's cardinal from sao paulo brazil. could he be the first pope from the new world?
considered papable, cardinal scola tweets aggressively, shearer and cardinal dolan is popular online. father beck, we tweet back and forth, do you think that there is 134 correlation between aggressive on social media and being sort of high up on the list of possible popes? >> i'm not really sure how much impact that has. because when you read moos of the tweets, they're rather innocuous. i do think that those who are tweeting are very interesting candidates. yesterday i was at that mass with cardinal dolan. and he was indeed like a rock star in that church. it was obvious to me that italians in that church had never seen him before, they were amazed at the personality that exuded from cardinal dolan. when i was outside, i was standing next to an italian gentleman and he said something to me in italian that i didn't quite get, it sounded very i had had i don't matt tick. and so i said to the person next to he me, you can translate what he just said.
years. now we're looking at ten years. part of that deal, though, would be repealing obama care. >> well, that's what we believe should be -- is the way to get to the path that you need to. one of the fundamental questions, i think the first question we have to ask is, should we actually achieve a balanced budget? because in order to pay down the debt you actually have to balance the budget first. so can we agree? do you or do you not want to balance the budget? the president has never introduced the budget that ever balances. >> but isn't a better question is, no one is going to agree to repeal obama care. here's an interview that congressman ryan did with chris wallace on fox. let's play that. >> are you saying that as part of your budget you would repeal, you assume, the repeal of obama care? >> yes. >> well, that's not going to happen. >> well, we believe it should. that's the point. this is what budgeting is all about, chris. it's about making tough choices to fix our country's problems. >> so he says, i believe it should. chris wallace said that's not
one of the front-runners, cardinal angela scola of milan, italy, said mass at rome's church of the 12 apostles. and there's one of the dark horse candidates, boston's sean o'malley. could he be the first american pope? >> let us pray that the holy spirit ill ummen the church to use a new pope who will confirm us in our faith, and make more visible the love that we cherish. >> reporter: the public politicking nearly over. once the conclave starts the cardinals go into deep seclusion until a decision is made. and now what you're looking at are those burgundy curtains, those red curtains that have just been hung there this morning on the basilica. that is the balcony where the pope, once he is selected, will greet the thousands gathered here in the 1.3 billion catholics around the world, the sense of excitement here is
where did the defense go? lebron james one of his quietest nights of the year but that doesn't matter because chris bosh, dwayne wide each scored 24 points. the liberty university just made the ncaa tournament despite losing 20 games this season. you know they started out losing their first eight games. but then they got hot when it counted the most, and yesterday think won their conference tournament, the big south, which gave them an automatic bid to the ncaa tournament. and look at this pine martin. loose at a professional soccer game in switzerland. actually interrupted the game for a short time. one of the players trying to grab the pine martin but then pays for it. the pine martin will actually bite him right there. ouch! ouch. and then the goalkeeper, of course he's wearing those big gloves, was able to snag the pine martin and then take him off the pitch to safety.
chimney that will announce to the world whether there is a new pope placed atop the treasured 500-year-old sistine chapel. it is delicate work. upholding a tradition where white smoke billowing from the chimney signals a new pope has been named. >> last thing they want for the sistine chapel to turn into a smoke-filled room worth where michelangelo applied his hand. it does take time for the smoke to go from white to black. >> one of the bits of drama is the catholic church is imminently predictable events prize. you know what will happen and when. but when the conclave in a sense all bets are off. >> reporter: the conclave, their decision shrouded in secrecy and tradition and some modern twists. electronic jamming equipment ensures no one inside or outside
