Pope's Resignation A Shock For Many Catholics
CHICAGO (CBS) -- Pope Benedict XVI’s decision to step down has surprised many Catholics around the world, including church leadership in Chicago.
Chicago Archdiocese representatives told CBS 2 Chief Correspondent Jay Levine they were not given any advance warning of the pope’s resignation, even though Cardinal Francis George was in the Vatican for meetings last week.
The archdiocese was not informed of the pope’s plan to resign until early Monday, when it was publicly announced.
