Inside the Vatican
Catholic News Magazine

Inside the Vatican is the world’s most well-informed, comprehensive monthly Catholic news magazine on what is going on inside the Vatican, at the heart of the Roman Catholic Church.

More than a Catholic News Magazine...

Produced by journalists and scholars with many decades of experience reporting from Rome, Inside the Vatican attempts to "think with the Church" (sentire cum ecclesia) but is not an official Church publication. Inside the Vatican is a Catholic news magazine, but editorially independent of any faction or interest group, in or outside of the Church.

Inside the Vatican Catholic news magazine is both a window on Rome, and a doorway to the Vatican itself. It is a window through which you can see the day-to-day activities of the Vatican; it is a door you can enter to encounter a fascinating variety of people and ideas.
