Thomas Reese, S.J., to step down as editor of 'America'

The Associated Press reports:

"The editor of the Jesuit weekly America, [Reverend Thomas Reese, SJ] is leaving the magazine after the Vatican received complaints about articles he published on touchy issues such as same-sex marriages and stem cell research, Jesuit officials said Friday."

You mean to tell me that all of a sudden the Jesuits are listening to Rome? I doubt it. I wonder what the real reason is behind the change in editors.
