In this interview, host Ricardo da Silva, S.J. speaks with America Media's Vatican correspondent Gerard O'Connell and David Gibson of Fordham University's Center on Religion and Culture.

But he was also considered by many to be a strict doctrinal "watchdog," a reputation developed during his time as cardinal prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Pope John Paul II.
Was that reputation justified? And what effect did it have on the development of Catholic theology before and during his papacy? In this interview, we look at these and other questions with Tom Reese, S.J., the former editor in chief of America Magazine, who was asked to step down from his role at America during Cardinal Ratzinger's tenure as prefect of the C.D.F.
