A number of its editors, authors and executives have been utilized by media around the world for clarification on the papal transition, the history and workings of the Catholic Church, and insight on current events affecting Catholics. Our Sunday Visitor is the publisher of many of the Pope Emeritus’ books, and is also the exclusive North American distributor of the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano.
