Vatican
City. The Vatican's official newspaper is for the first time in its more than
150-year history printing a special supplement for women, the publication said
Wednesday.
The
four-page color supplement, which will appear in Italian every last Thursday of
the month in the L'Osservatore Romano, aims to promote better understanding of
the "under-appreciated treasure" of women in the Church, the paper's
director Giovanni Maria Vian told reporters.
The
supplement was thought up by historian Lucetta Scaraffia, who is an editorial
writer on the paper, and another woman, Giulia Galeotti.
Pope
Benedict XVI supports the project, Vian said, recalling the pontiff's 2009
statement that the "Church and society in general urgently need"
female input.
"This
supplement provides information on the female condition, without ignoring hot
topics like procreation, access to culture and women's rights," Scaraffia
said.
The Church
counts among its members 740,000 nuns and 460,000 monks and priests.
L'Osservatore
Romano was founded in 1861. It is a daily newspaper.
