Telegraph | News | US Catholic editor resigns after clash with Pope:

A liberal American Jesuit has been forced to resign as the editor of a Roman Catholic magazine after several years of tense relations with the Vatican doctrinal office that was headed by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger before he was elected Pope Benedict XVI last month.

Fr Thomas Reese lost the editorship of America after pressure from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, according to The National Catholic Reporter, which broke the news. His clashes with the Congregation began four years ago when America ran articles critical of Dominus Jesus, a document produced by Cardinal Ratzinger's office which outlined the supremacy of Catholicism over other faiths and denominations."
