Catholic Review

The Catholic Review stands as Maryland's largest weekly newspaper that operates on a paid subscription model and is delivered by mail. This publication focuses on news that resonates with the Catholic community, covering both national and international stories. It serves as the official newspaper for the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The Catholic Review is the modern continuation of the original diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Mirror, which was established in 1833 and ran until 1908. After a gap of five and a half years, the Baltimore Catholic Review was launched under the leadership of James Cardinal Gibbons, who was then Archbishop of Baltimore. Eventually, it was renamed to the more concise title, The Catholic Review.

Burke, former prefect of the Vatican’s Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature.

The National Eucharistic Revival is formally slated to end June 22, this year’s feast of Corpus Christi.

A cry for unity - Catholic Review

1 week ago | catholicreview.org | Michael R. Heinlein

Pope Leo has assumed the Petrine ministry as old ecclesial divisions have reared up anew and as heightened polarization has weakened the church’s unity and mission.
