Italian journalist (born 1943)
Sandro Magister (born 2 October 1943) is an Italian journalist who writes for the magazine L'espresso.[1]
Magister specializes in religious news, in particular on the Catholic Church and the Vatican. He has written two books on the political history of the Italian episcopate: "Italian Church: Vatican Politics and Italy 1943-1978" and "Extraparliamentary Church: The Triumph of the Pulpit". He also manages the website Chiesa on the topic of modern ecclesiastical affairs.[2]
Some days before its official publication on 18 June 2015,[3] Sandro Magister was accused of violating an embargo by publishing parts of the encyclical Laudato si, and was deprived of accreditation to the Vatican press room as a result, on 16 June 2015. Magister's response was that the document was an early draft not covered by the embargo, obtained by his editor who made the decision to publish; he had written merely an introduction.[4]
He, his wife Anna, and their two daughters live in Rome.[citation needed]
