InfoVaticana is an independent information website about the Catholic Church since founded in 2013 by Gabriel Ariza and Fernando Beltrán.[1]

Information is published in two languages; the Spanish language and the Italian language. The website takes a Vaticanist approach, discussing current affairs within the Church from an orthodox Catholic point of view. During the reign of Pope Francis, the website has had legal action taken against it by the Vatican City for use of symbols related to the Vatican.

History

InfoVaticana was founded as a business with a balance of around 2,000 euros by Gabriel Ariza and was registered in the Mercantile Registry of Madrid in November 2013. Ariza is the son of Julio Ariza, who was previously a Member of the Parliament of Catalonia for the Spanish People's Party and has since been the owner of the Intereconomía Group.[2]

Since 2013, InfoVaticana has stood out as an information portal about the Catholic Church, with a clear orienatation towards doctrinal orthodoxy. They have covered various news of some importance in the national ecclesiastical sphere: from the situation of the channel 13tv (belonging to the Spanish Episcopal Conference),[3] or the controversial election of the last president of the Asociación Católica de Propagandistas and the judicial process of the "miguelianos" group.[4] [5] [6]

Although InfoVaticana began publishing in Spanish, in May 2015 the creation of an Italian version was announced. Gabriel Ariza, director of InfoVaticana, explained this decision to Religión en Libertad: "The number of readers who follow us from Italy has not stopped increasing, and Italian is today the universal language of the Church: a large part of the more than five thousand bishops in the world have studied in Rome and many priests know that language well and completely ignore Spanish, so the Italian edition will be for them a way to get closer to the reality of the Church."[7]

In August 2017, InfoVaticana received a notification from the Chicago-based white shoe law firm Baker McKenzie on behalf of the Vatican Secretariat of State, Pietro Parolin, asking them to transfer the domain to it, and stop using symbology related to the Vatican as it could be considered "a violation of the intellectual property of the Vatican.[8] The case is part of a legal debate over whether the Holy See can claim full ownership of the "Vatican" brand and its derivatives.[9] [10]

Political positions

Agence France-Presse characterizes InfoVaticana as conservative and critical of Pope Francis.[11]
