I’m pretty sure that when it says “information on the female condition” it just means it will talk about the way God created women to be, and how that applies to their daily lives and to women as human beings.

Anyway, it feels as if you are inferring that it might be saying that women have a ‘condition’ as in an ‘illness’ or something, which I am positive is not the case. That would be a very uninformed way to look at that statement… the Church has very enlightened views on women and thinks of them very highly. Catholicism is actually one of the only things in this world that truly honors women and raises them to their genuine God-given purpose in all its beauty and glory.
 
Here is how the new project is described in a L’Osservatore Romano article
For the first time in its more than 100-year-old history, as from today the Italian daily edition of L’Osservatore Romano will publish an insert intended for women in the issue of the last Thursday of every month. It will consist of four pages in full colour, conceived of and edited with enthusiasm and determination by several women colleagues, to extend the outlook of the Holy See’s newspaper to ”women, Church, world”. This is in fact the title of this new initiative, open to a fundamental reality of the Christian tradition, and that intends to spread in ever broadening circles, with an international outreach to and even beyond the visible boundaries of global Catholicism – and this is partly thanks to the collaboration of non-Catholic writers.

The insert places the new project explicitly under the sign of Mary, the most perfect human creature who, before the mystery of her son, the definitive revelation, “kept all these things pondering them in her heart”. In the Gospel according to Luke, these words recall the reflection which in the Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures, inspires the dreams of Joseph and of Daniel; but with the addition of a verb that accentuates the silent protagonism of Mary, who opens herself to the one reality that counts.

My goodness, you were quick to jump to a conclusion!

No, my friend, that’s not what I was saying. I was simply pointing out a humorous phrase.

Peace be with you.

Ohh, I am so sorry. I do struggle with being quick to judge, something I need to work on! Apparently I am the one who makes incorrect inferences.

God Bless
