By July 1860, the deputy Minister of the Interior, [[Marcantonio Pacelli]] (grandfather of the future Pope [[Pope Pius XII|Pius XII]]), had plans to supplement the official bulletin of the Catholic Church ''Giornale di Roma'' with a semi-official "rhetorical" publication. In early 1861, controversialist Nicola Zanchini and journalist Giuseppe Bastia were granted editorial direction of Pacelli's newspaper. Official permission to publish was sought on 22 June 1861, and four days later, on 26 June, Pius IX gave his approval for the regulation of ''L'Osservatore''.<ref name="vathist"/>
The first edition was entitled "''L'Osservatore Romano'' – a political and moral paper" and cost five [[Papal States scudo|baiocchi]]. The "political and moral paper" epithet was dropped before 1862, adding instead the two Latin mottoes that still appear under the masthead today.<ref name="vathist"/>
After the [[Porta Pia|breach of Porta Pia]] by Italian troops in September 1870, ''L'Osservatore Romano'' solidified its opposition to the Kingdom of Italy, affirming obedience to the Pope and adherence to his directives, stating it would remain faithful "to that unchangeable principle of religion and morals which recognises as its sole depository and claimant the [[Vicar of Christ|Vicar of Jesus Christ]] on earth".<ref name="vathist"/>

===21st century===
As of 1 July 2011, the English language edition of the ''L'Osservatore Romano'' for North American subscribers is once again published in Rome
In the 21st century, the paper has taken a more objective and subdued stance than at the time of its foundation, priding itself in "presenting the genuine face of the church and the ideals of freedom", following the statement by Cardinal [[Tarcisio Bertone]] in an October 2006 speech inaugurating a new exhibit dedicated to the founding and history of the newspaper.<ref name="cnsnobs">{{cite news|last=Glatz|first=Carol|title=L'Osservatore Romano: 145 years as 'genuine face of the church'|work=Vatican Letter|publisher=Catholic News Service|date=27 October 2006|url=http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0606136.htm|archive-url=http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20091005062047/http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0606136.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=5 October 2009|access-date=8 February 2008}}</ref> He further described the publication as "an instrument for spreading the teachings of the successor of Peter and for information about church events".<ref name="cnsnobs"/>

==Official views of the Magisterium==▼
It is a common error to assume that the contents of the ''L'Osservatore Romano'' represent the views of the [[Magisterium]], or the official position of the [[Holy See]]. In general, this is not the case, and the only parts of the ''Osservatore'' which represent the views of the Holy See are those that appear under the titles "Nostre Informazioni" or "Santa Sede".<ref name="Bunson">Matthew Bunson, ''The Pope Encyclopedia'', Crown Publishing, 1995, p. 229.</ref><ref name="PLev">Philippe Levillain, ''The Papacy: An Encyclopedia'', Routledge Publishers, 2002, p. 1082</ref> At times the Magisterium disputes the contents of the ''Osservatore'', e.g. a 2008 article expressed the desire that the debate on [[brain death]] be re‑opened because of new developments in the medical world. An official spokesman said that the article presented a personal opinion of the author and "did not reflect a change in the Catholic Church's position".<ref>{{cite web|last=Wooden|first=Cindy|url=http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0804460.htm|archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20080909204259/http://www.catholicnews.com/data/stories/cns/0804460.htm|url-status=dead|archive-date=9 September 2008|title=Vatican newspaper says new questions raised about brain death|publisher=[[Catholic News Service]]|date=30 September 2008|access-date=24 February 2010}}</ref>
