La Civiltà Cattolica<\/a><\/i> is one of the Church’s most important journals of informed opinion. It was founded on 6 April 1850 by a group of Jesuits from Naples and therefore Italy’s longest running journals. It now has a new look and approach through new efforts at renewal motivated by Pope Benedict when he spoke with the Journal staff in 2006 when he said, <\/div>\n

Here then, is where the mission of a cultural journal such as La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i> fits in: active participation int he contemporary cultural debate, both to propose and at the same time to spread the Christian faith in a serious way. Its purpose is both to present it <\/span>clearly and in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church, and to defend without polemics the truth that is sometimes distorted by unfounded accusation directed at the Ecclesial Community. I would like to point out the Second Vatican Council as a beacon on the path that <\/span><\/font>La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i> is called to take.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
<\/div>\n
The current pontificate of Francis will look to the Journal “to collect and express the expectations and needs of our time” and “to provide the elements for a reading of reality” that has “a particular attention to the truth, to goodness and to beauty.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There are seven Jesuits full time work at La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i>, plus another seven senior Jesuits who assist in the publication but it has an increasing international group of thinkers and writers. The journal has a print edition plus a digital presence.<\/div>\n

Jesuit Father Antonio Spadaro, 47, is the editor-in-chief of La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i> and he serves as a consultor to several Church organizations. Father Spadaro also writes a well-received blog, CyberTeologia<\/a>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i> can be followed on Facebook and Twitter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In defense of the Pope, La Civiltà Cattolica<\/a>‘s<\/i> is understood to be supportive of the Church by following the indications of the Second Vatican Council. As a journal of the Society of Jesuit and the Church its work to show a relationship faith and reason, faith and culture, faith and science, faith and the public order;to understand the world in which we live in light of the Incarnation. The Journal cuts across the various sectors of the intellectual, spiritual and cultural ambits showing a particular attentiveness with the Catholic Church through the Secretary of State;  La Civiltà Cattolica<\/i> is considered to be not official but authoritative.<\/p>\n
