For only the fourth time in nearly 600 years, a Pope will resign.
Bishop Robert Harris tells CHSJ News people are understanding of why Pope Benedict has decided to step down.
He says it's a courageous decision inspired by the spirit.
Harris says Pope Benedict is a renowned theologian and a man of prayer.
There is talk that Quebec cardinal Marc Ouellet is in the running but Bishop Harris says while Ouellet is highly respected it's just speculation at this point.
