The all-female board of Women Church World, which is published alongside the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano, gained international attention when it exposed the abuse of nuns by clergy, quit en masse over what it said was a campaign by the Holy See to sabotage the magazine's work.
The all-female board of a Vatican’s women’s magazine that gained international attention when it exposed the abuse of nuns by clergy, quit en masse over what it said was a campaign by the Holy See to sabotage the magazine's work.
In February, Scaraffia reported on the sexual abuse of nuns by clergy, with some of the nuns forced into having abortions. She told The Associated Press:"After the attempts to put us under control, came the indirect attempts to delegitimize us," outlining how other women were brought in to write for L'Osservatore with an opposite editorial line to her magazine.
"They are returning to clerical self-reference and are giving up that 'parresia' that Pope Francis so often seeks."
