Tagle served from 1995 to 2001 as one of more than 50 members of the editorial board of the five-volume, 2,500-page History of Vatican II. Completed after discussions at 14 international conferences with contributions from over 100 scholars, it is seen as the seminal work on the Second Vatican Council. It has been criticized by some conservatives for providing an overly progressive reading of the Council. Its principal editors, Alberto Melloni and Giuseppe Alberigo, are identified with the Bologna School of ecclesiastical history which views the Second Vatican Council as a “rupture” with the past, a position criticized by Pope Benedict XVI and others, who hold that Vatican II represents “continuity” with the past. Tagle’s contribution, written in 1999 when he was not yet a bishop, was a 66-page chapter in the fourth volume of the History called “A November Storm: The ‘Black Week'” which covered the final days of the Council’s third session in 1964, when several actions by Pope Paul VI caused alarm among reform forces.
Pope John Paul II appointed Tagle to the International Theological Commission, where he served from 1997 to 2002 under its President, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. From 1995 to 2001 he was a member of the editorial board of the “History of Vatican II” project.

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.
