A new book launched by L'Osservatore Romano features opinion pieces from the 150 year-old Vatican daily reflecting on life, culture and the world from a Catholic perspective.
The book, titled “A Catholic Look. 100 Editorials from L’Osservatore Romano,” features writings published in the last four years under the leadership of editor-in-chief Giovanni Maria Vian, who assumed the post in 2007.
In an interview with CNA, Vian said the collection “is especially important because it presents a Catholic outlook intended to go beyond cultural or geographical boundaries, a universal outlook that the Holy See has, and also a Catholic outlook in the sense of the faith.”
Vian said the book does not “hide its point of view, but it is capable of hosting the perspectives of other Christians, other believers and the laity.”
