Inside the Vatican – May/June Issue

The Shroud of Turin, Vatican Governance & Global Power

The May–June issue of Inside the Vatican delivers in-depth Catholic journalism examining faith, science, Church leadership, and global influence. This issue reports on veteran researcher Joseph Marino’s latest findings on the Shroud of Turin, offering fresh insight into one of Christianity’s most studied and mysterious relics and its continuing significance for faith and scholarship.

The issue also features an interview with Guinean Cardinal Francis Arinze, widely regarded as one of the Church’s elder statesmen. In this wide-ranging conversation, Cardinal Arinze reflects on decades of service, the challenges facing the Church today, and the enduring importance of fidelity to Catholic teaching.

Canon lawyer Dr. Jane Adolphe contributes a thoughtful analysis of the appointment of women to Vatican posts, examining the canonical, theological, and institutional implications of these developments within Church governance.

In the lead story, Thomas Storck explores the Vatican’s involvement in a council of global capitalist powerhouses, raising important questions about economic policy, moral authority, and the Church’s engagement with international financial institutions.

This issue is essential reading for Catholics seeking informed analysis of sacred relics, Church leadership, canon law, and the Vatican’s role on the global stage.
