Talk:Thomas J. Reese

America Resignation
As pointed out by Father RJ Neuhaus in the May issue of the journal First Things, Father Reese's resignation was not brought about by Vatican pressure, but rather, as Neuhaus explains, because of pressure from American sources. And this pressure, one can accurately assume, stemmed from America's frequent flouting of Church doctrine, especially regarding fidelity to the Magisterium, not from the magazine's publishing of articles which 'merely' discussed contentious issues such as abortion, contraception and so forth.

Abortion is not merely a "contentious" issue within the Catholic Church - it is seen quite simply as murder. Historically, there has never been any lack of absolute opposition towards it. Proposing that such things seen merely as issues would be contrary to Catholic doctrine. Supporting abortion publically as a Catholic incurs automatic excomunication - so it isn't an option as a Catholic to express views in favour of it let alone commit the actual act --58.175.61.137 14:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that the section asserting that critics call Fr. Reese an apostate should be removed. Maybe there can be a section devoted to this specific controversy, but to pretend that it's a defining moment in his career is misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.231.114.46 (talk) 03:32, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

National Academy of Sciences
This Thomas Reese is not a member of NAS. This article is about Thomas J. Reese, the Catholic priest. Thomas S. Reese, a neuroscientist, is a member of NAS. 64.149.42.142 (talk) 21:31, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

"deferred editorially"
Jesuits normally defer to the provincial. Unless there was some special arrangement in this case, I fail to see what this sentence is doing here. --90.236.104.43 (talk) 12:02, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

I suppose this equals the dead link but since I haven't checked the contents, I don't want to replace the dead link with this search. --90.236.104.43 (talk) 12:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Disambig title
I can't see that Reese uses the J much. Probably "Thomas Reese (Jesuit)" would be a better title. --90.236.104.43 (talk) 07:22, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
