Robert Dennis, Queen’s University, appeared on radio and television, web and print media following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. Among the more unique media requests was from talkSPORT, a British radio station, which interviewed Robert Dennis on the history of the Modern Vatican–the spot appeared in between football and rugby updates and during a rainy, morning commute in London.

Interviewed as an expert witness on religious affairs by CBC TV six times and Sun TV twice, Terence Fay SJ of the University of St Michael’s College was consulted on the resignation of Benedict XVI and the subsequent selection by the College of Cardinals of Pope Francis as the Bishop of Rome.
