The
above photo represents a small portion of the murals that coat the interior of the Sistine Chapel, the space in
which Catholic cardinals elect new popes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel
Visit
the Vatican's stunning web page to explore -- via 360 degree self-guided rotation (with optional "zoom" and "pan") -- the rest of
Michelangelo's ceiling, along with walls, doors, floor and statuary. It takes a
few minutes to master "navigation" but basically you use your cursor to "grab" any chapel surface, then move your mouse in whatever direction you wish to
go. Generally, it is desirable to move your cursor slowly. http://www.vatican.va/various/cappelle/sistina_vr/index.html

As the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics get a new leader, Dick speaks with an Irish priest who came out as gay after he made his vows to the Catholic Church. He chose to stay in the church - "it is my church, too," he says - and presses from inside for change regarding the place of women and gays in the church.
DOROTHY DAY - THE RELUCTANT SAINT
Dick speaks with Martha Hennessy, the granddaughter of Catholic activist Dorothy Day. Founder of the Catholic Worker newspaper and hospitality houses, Dorothy Day was a pacifist and great humanitarian. Her granddaughter is following in her footsteps.
