La Civiltà Cattolica
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
La Civiltà Cattolica (Italian for The Catholic Civilization) is an Italian Jesuit monthly magazine founded April 6, 1850 in Naples.
Primary: Civilta Cattolica Alternate(s): Civilta Civilta Cattolica Definition:
Civilta Cattolica is a magazine edited by Italian members of the Jesuit order. Founded on April 6, 1850, the magazine carried a uniquely authoritative status because-- although it is not an official organ of the Vatican-- all of the articles published in the magazine are approved in advance by the Vatican Secretariat of State.
Its first director was Carlo Maria Curci, who obtained the approval of Pope Pius IX.
During the 1880s, after moving to Rome, it was brought under the direct control of the Vatican, with its editors appointed by Cardinal Secretary of State or Pope, and many key articles written by the Pope himself.[1]
Fr. Federico Lombardi, SJ, the current Director of the Vatican Press Office, was named the Deputy Editor of Civilta Cattolica in 1977. He began writing for the magazine in 1973.
