Pope Benedict XVI stunned the billion-plus Catholic faithful across the globe by announcing this week that he will resign because he lacks the strength to do his job. Many had no idea popes could resign -- after all it's been 600 years since a pope stepped down. On the next Sound of Ideas, we'll discuss what a change at the top of the Catholic hierarchy means for the church and beyond. And what does the church need from the next pope? Join us, tomorrow morning at 9.

Guests

Sister Christine Schenk, executive director, Future Church
Doris Donnelly, Director of The Cardinal Suenens Center, John Carroll University
Paul V. Murphy, Director of Institute of Catholic Studies, John Carroll University
