Magister reports on the latest from Civilita Cattolica<\/a>:<\/p>\n

La Civilt\u00e0 Cattolica,\u201d the journal of the Rome Jesuits that is printed under the supervision of the Vatican authorities, doesn\u2019t usually post to its website the complete text of all of the articles published in each of its editions. It does so only with one or two of its less significant articles, which are usually dedicated to art or literature. <\/p>\n

But there are exceptions. In the case of an important editorial, or of another article also held to be significant, \u201cLa Civilt\u00e0 Cattolica\u201d immediately puts the entire text online, in order to bring the thinking of leading Church authorities to a wider audience. <\/p>\n

This was done with an article dedicated to AIDS in Africa and to the Church\u2019s efforts to combat it, published in the most recent edition of the magazine. <\/p>\n

Why was this done? Presumably because during the preceding weeks there had been worldwide coverage of the controversy over the Church and AIDS, and in particular over the question of whether or not the use of condoms should be permitted. <\/p>\n

The dispute was reignited by remarks from cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, and by later indiscreet comments about a possible Vatican document on the topic. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
