La Civiltà Cattolica - 0317 - Paperback

Pope Francis has call La Civiltà Cattolica "one of a kind."

As a magazine of general reference, articles in La Civiltà Cattolica are

written and edited in a way that has the educated though non-specialist

reader in mind. Discussions in the periodical are rigorous and well

researched but always aim to be open and accessible.

La Civiltà Cattolica in English is published monthly - 12 editions and

1440 pages of articles annually. Its articles, commentaries and reflections

focus on theological, philosophical, moral, historical, political, social and

literary topics. The content is divided in sections for documents, profiles

and interviews, the life of the Church and commentaries. The content

provides reading for an informed Catholic conscience that is better able

to decide freely.

Today, as it has since its foundation, La Civiltà Cattolica aims to read and

interpret the history, politics, culture, science and art in the light of the

Christian faith.

One of the oldest, continuously published Catholic journals, La

Civiltà Cattolica has always aimed to provide deeper assessments of topics

and events of broad significance.

It is "high popular" in tone and reach but not specialist in character.

While its treatment of topics will often run over 5,000 words, the

periodical is for the educated and searching reader rather than being a

professional journal.

All authors are Jesuits and all articles have been viewed and approved by

an official of the Vatican's Secretariat of State before publication. For this

reason, La Civiltà Cattolica has always been a widow into what thoughts,

policies and priorities are alive in the Apostolic See.
