This magazine had echoed in its past editions both badual abuse and the power of nuns to nuns, as well as the mistreatment of religious, relegated to the rank of "servant" of the male clergy.

The director of the monthly, published in Spanish by "Vida Nueva" and in French by "La Vie", denounces that the editorial line "did not find the support of the new direction of L'Osservatore Romano" and "she turned to the selection of women at the top, towards the election of collaborators who ensure obedience and give up any opportunity to open a real, free and courageous dialogue. "

Scaraffia explained that her decision weighs on all the motivations she writes in her editorial, while confirming a past attempt by the director of "L'Osservatore Romano", Andrea Monda, to also want to direct the supplement.

"He turns to clerical self-referentiality and gives up the parrhesia so often demanded by Pope Francis," adds the Italian intellectual.

The editorial explains in his letter to Pope Francisco: "We throw away the towel because we feel ourselves immersed in a climate of mistrust and progressive delegitimation, from a perspective in which we do not feel the esteem and merit of pursuing our collaboration".
