Founder, editorial board of Vatican women's magazine quit after what they say was a campaign to discredit them and put them 'under the direct control of men.' The decision is a blow to Pope Francis' efforts to give greater decision-making roles to women.
FILE - In this Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2018 file photo, Lucetta Scaraffia, editor in chief of "Women Church World" a monthly magazine distributed alongside the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, poses in her house in Rome.
In the editorial, she wrote: “We believe there are no longer the conditions to continue our collaboration with L’Osservatore Romano.” The effect, she said, was to “obscure our words, delegitimizing us as a part of the Holy See’s communications.” Scaraffia launched the monthly insert in 2012 and oversaw its growth into a stand-alone Vatican magazine as a voice for women, by women and about issues of interest to the entire Catholic Church. “Women Church World” had enjoyed editorial independence from L’Osservatore, even while being published under its auspices.
