On May 7, 2005 Newsday reported, "The editor of America, an influential Jesuit weekly magazine, has resigned under orders from the Vatican, which threatened to impose a 'board of censors' to oversee the magazine if he stayed, according to the National Catholic Reporter...Frequently quoted in the secular media, [Rev. Thomas J.] Reese had also been a CNN commentator during the funeral of Pope John Paul II and the election of Pope Benedict XVI last month...The Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, run by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he was named pope, had brought pressure to remove Reese 'for about five years,' Roberts said. A source told the National Catholic Reporter that it had issued an ultimatum, 'that either Reese goes, or they would appoint a board of censors.' It is not known what role, if any, the new pope, played in the ouster. A call to the Society of Jesus USA in Washington, of which Reese is a member, was not returned."
