    Mary Behold Your Mother

    Woman! above all women glorified,
     Our tainted nature’s solitary boast.
    –William Wordsworth

    Today, they are more compelling than ever.

    Benedict XVI

    Our Special “Benedict XVI” March-April 2023 issue is a keepsake edition covering the life of Joseph Ratzinger, the boy from Catholic Bavaria who became a Pope, from his birth through his death at age 95 on the last day of 2022. We cover his life and landmark work as a professor, his long tenure as a cardinal and head of the Church’s doctrinal office, his Papacy and extraordinary abdication of his office, and his final decade as the unprecedented “Pope Emeritus” – all with our signature style and incisive commentary.

  • As we begin a new year, our Lead story asks the question: What could the Trump presidential victory mean, not only for the US but for Catholics and the Church? Then, ITV trains a spotlight on ten people who have, in different ways, labored with joy for the Kingdom in the midst of a turbulent and often heart-breaking year — our "Top Ten of 2024." Also, in the wake of new Vatican guidelines for assessing "supernatural phenomena," Professor Christine Mugridge takes us to Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina, where she interviews the Pope's man there on its spiritual phenomena. And renowned scholar Anthony Esolen, Ph.D., tells us what it actually means when Jesus says, "I am the Way."

  • In the November-December 2024 issue of Inside the Vatican, we discuss the multi-year, contentious and at times confusing Synod on Synodality — and ask, what did it all mean? We also profile the 21 new cardinals chosen by Francis, men who will not only guide the Church but elect the next Pope; we introduce and highlight sections of the Pope's new encyclical on the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for each one of us; and we offer Christmas meditations by the Church Fathers set in a lovely icon art essay.
