Cuomo, Father Beck on pope resignation

CNN Anchor Chris Cuomo and Father Edward Beck discuss the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI and his legacy. Father Beck says to take resignation at face value.

Father Beck says, “I think it’s a frail man who realizes it. He saw John Paul II and was very close to that whole scene of him deteriorating, and he doesn’t want that for himself. He talked two years ago about the possibility of a Pope resigning if in ill health, and he’s following through with what he said would be a good thing to do. So, I don’t buy the intrigue part of it at all.”
