A look at difficult issues the next pope will face

Season 2025 Episode 127 | 8m 11s

Black smoke poured from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel on Wednesday, signifying that the cardinals did not elect a new pope on the first ballot. The cardinals are considering difficult and divisive issues as they choose the next pontiff. Geoff Bennett discussed the conclave and the controversies surrounding the Catholic Church with Philip Shenon, author of "Jesus Wept."
