Focus misplaced regarding resignation of America editor, says Catholic analyst
Washington DC, Jun. 06, 2005 (CNA) - While reports on the May 6 resignation of Fr. Thomas Reese, SJ, as editor of America magazine focused on the heavy-handedness of Pope Benedict XVI, a prominent Catholic analyst believes the more interesting story is why the Jesuits’ superior general allowed the longtime editor to resign at this time, when he had consistently ignored complaints under Pope John Paul II.
Once again, Deal Hudson has provided a concise insight to a very muddled issue. Now if only the editors of the other "Catholic" publications will realize thedifferencee between genuine discussion and dissent, we may take a giant step toward the "new springtime" that John Paul the Great envisioned.
