I have been reading the Spectator regularly . Now that Justine mc Carthy of the Sunday Times and the Irish ambassador to the UK have condemned its coverage of Ireland and Brexit I have taken out a subscription.
The American websites sites Crisis and the Catholic Thing are very good. The Imaginative Conservative does high quality essays on a regular basis.
Fr. Hunwick offers daily mischevious and learned observations on the traditional liturgy , the current papacy and other matters .
The Irish Aesthete has regular features on Irish architectural gems , often neglected or endangered.

Crisis Magazine (US) is my favourite site on the web for articles in general.
World Catholic Report (US) and Catholic Herald (UK) are often good too.

Not on the list: I am just back from the Lumen Fedei conference in Belfast about the Crisis in the Church. I would listen and watch them. www.lumenfidei.ie/ |

I would listen and watch them. www.lumenfidei.ie/I wrote a column for The Catholic Voice for two years! (Its editor also runs the Lumen Fidei Institute.) Although I think the editorial line of that newspaper is somewhat to my right (while the Irish Catholic is somewhat to my left). |

Although I think the editorial line of that newspaper is somewhat to my right (while the Irish Catholic is somewhat to my left). This may seem slightly Pleistocene by comparison (although it was possibly broadcasted by internet first) but I was given a set of CDs to 'look at' recently,a dramatised audio by Augustine Institute of the life of St Patrick(2017), which they managed to get a professional acting cast for, including Niall Buggy, an Irish theatre actor, and, as young Patrick, Sean T O'Meallaigh who has played a monk-roll in the Vikings drama series apparently(he didn't have a wiki-biography but puts a lot on social media himself- he seems great promoter of the Irish language, unfortunately a yes-rainbow also featured). The same day,interestingly, I'd noted that the French Clairval monks are promoting an awareness of the life of Gabrielle Bossis,a theatre actress and mystic who had messages from Christ published during her lifetime. Her acting was mostly done in a cultural Catholic setting however- she wouldn't make a patron of Hollywood. A bit different was a piece I was reading about the originally-fastidious Catherine McAuley's unfortunate 'performance' at her original Profession (at a Presentation convent as a pro tem arrangement ) "neither Mother Angela nor another Sister who volunteered her services could have qualified as hairdressers. When the procession formed the nuns were so amused by Cathrine's appearance...Catherine was sent to rearrange her hair before being presented" |

I haven't watched the video yet, but apparently Dave Cullen has rediscovered his Christian faith.

I haven't watched the video yet, but apparently Dave Cullen has rediscovered his Christian faith. I'm overjoyed to hear this-- in fact, it made my day. I've literally prayed for Dave to find faith, but I didn't expect it to happen. Thanks for mentioning it, Antaine. I've started watching the video, but I had to break off about half-way in, so I don't know what form of Christian faith he has come to. Anyway, it's really great news. I hope it has a ripple effect. I'm always more interested in conversions from atheism/agnosticism than from other denominations or religions. Partly because that was my own trajectory, but more because that is where conversions need to come from if Christianity is to revive in Ireland and the West. Here is the link. youtu.be/jcM4rdGWZKA |

Watching the rest of it now. Cullen says he isn't even completely sold on the idea of an afterlife, so he obviously hasn't become an orthodox Christian. However, I'm glad he's reached where he is, and hope he goes on to embrace the fullness of the faith. He does believe in a Creator and a power behind the universe, and he prays to God.

Ryan Kehoe at the Irish Burkean has an article entitled "Ireland's emerging rightist media nexus". Offers a good overview of new media resources and comments briefly on them. Perhaps some kind soul could post a link as my primitive I.T. skills haven't evolved that far yet.

Lifesite news could be an addition to this list.

Gript.ie is an Irish based conservative news site . Well worth adding to your reading sources.
The Iona website gives an up to date chronicle of what some insist is "progress and liberation".

Today I received ANNALS AUSTRALSIA magazine which Mr Maolsheachlann has written for at times. The Missionaries of The Sacred Heart provincial council are reportedly pulling the plug after 130 years of publication,citing rising postage and other costs and Fr.Stenhouse's aging factor.
I've often heard rumours from Sydney of a clash in ideology witin the order also. Possibly.
About three issues remain. The articles are really an example of the sort of reading that I only like doing from print and paper,I'll disagree if everyone insists that it should've been on screen instead.
I was struck recently by the importance that Christian media can have by the cases of three elderly Italian ladies in two households who can no longer attend Mass regularly,an Italian Catholic network arranged by a priest who brings the Sacrament is now playing a role,not only in a spiritual sense,but also to offset dementia in one or two of them,who wouldn't dream of regular tv viewing.
One show,curiously,focuses on the Armenian church. One of about six saints commemorated,in two seperate collects,by the extraordinary form today was eastern-lady Euphemia of Chalcedon,whose burial place and church hosted the ancient Council of Chalcedon and whose remains were believed to have miraculously guided the definitions. When reading the missal notes today I was struck by something intensely mystical in the bridal symbolism of a martyred virgin beneath a great building filled with bishops and the like,reaffirming belief in Christ

The Open Door magazine, a local Catholic magazine published in the Kildare area, also came to an end after I'd been writing for them for some years. Perhaps I am the death knell of publications. |
