The founder and editorial board of the Vatican’s women’s magazine have resigned, accusing Vatican officials of trying to discredit them and put them “under the direct control of men”, especially after they reported on the sexual abuse of nuns.
The board of “Women, Church, World” made the announcement in an open letter to Pope Francis and in their planned April 1 editorial.
In the editorial, seen by AP, editor Lucetta Scaraffia wrote: “We are throwing in the towel because we feel surrounded by a climate of distrust and progressive de-legitimization.”
