The Vaticanologist John L. Allen, Jr. reported that Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the Holy See’s prefect for the Congregation for Bishops and protégé of Pope Benedict XVI, maintains his “full support” for Tagle. Allen also reported that a Vatican official indicated that he read Tagle’s 1999 essay – after media reports highlighted it – and found nothing objectionable. In fact, he was impressed by Tagle’s defense of Paul VI in that Tagle wrote that Paul followed a strategy of “listening to all views, especially opposing ones”, and was willing to “sacrifice his personal popularity to save the council and its future”. This official also said that it is difficult to suggest Tagle is opposed to Pope Benedict’s reading of the council since one of the sources Tagle cited was the writings of Joseph Ratzinger. The Vatican news analyst Sandro Magister reported that Tagle’s identification with the Bologna School would have hurt his chances of becoming a bishop had the members of the Congregation for Bishops – who considered Tagle’s candidacy for archbishop – known of it when considering his appointment.
