Works

Rodriguez's critical edition of the original manuscript of the "Catechismus Romanus", the catechism of the Council of Trent, was praised by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger as being of "great significance" for his own work on the "Catechism of the Catholic Church". [Allen, John. (2005) "Opus Dei: An Objective Look Behind the Myths and Reality of the Most Controversial Force in the Catholic Church". p. 241.]

William May has praised him for his work of analyzing Opus Dei and the founder's teachings, saying that "he has masterfully" discussed the founder's teachings on holiness.
