Inside the Vatican is for anyone who
would like to know more about the role
of the Holy See in guiding the
spiritual lives of one billion
Catholics and more about the extensive
impact of the papacy in today's
world.
Perhaps the easiest way to describe
this magazine is to say it is both "a
window" on Rome, and "a door" through
which one enters the Vatican. It is a
window through which one sees the day-
to-day activities of the Vatican; it is
a door through which one can enter to
encounter a variety of people and
ideas. It provides in-depth interviews
with the finest minds in the Church
today, with saints -- canonized and
un-canonized -- and with those who are
trying to "shake things up."
This magazine introduces its readers
not only to movers and shakers of
ecclesiastical policy, but also to
members of new and emerging groups
that ecclesiastical leaders hardly know
how to deal with. On the pages of
Inside the Vatican one will find up-to-
the-minute news reported with an eye on
historical and theological
contexts.
The one feature of the magazine that
most immediately strikes the typical
reader is the visual -- the magazine's
color photos for news stories and in
its reproduction of great art works in
its regular essays on Church art and
architecture.
This magazine is Catholic but
editorially independent of any faction
or interest group, in or outside of the
Church.
