National Geographic's "Pope Francis and the New Vatican"
Over the course of six months, National Geographic photographer David Yoder received extraordinary access to Pope Francis and the inner workings of the Vatican. Yoder shot 68,000 photographs and saw firsthand the massive crowds that flock to Rome for a glimpse of the pope.
This week on 60 Minutes, Scott Pelley takes a look at Yoder's work, which is featured in the National Geographic book "Pope Francis and the New Vatican."
