CATHOLIC is a newspaper published ten times yearly under the patronage of Our Mother of Perpetual Succour by the Transalpine Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. Its editor is Rev. Fr Michael Mary, C.SS.R., and it is produced and distributed by the Fathers and Brothers of this missionary congregation. We desire it to be a ‘Voice of Catholic Orthodoxy’ in an age where dissent from the Truth revealed by God to the Church is to be found even in the publications of the ecclesial hierarchy. The views of Catholic are expressed in editorial comment, and are not necessarily the same as those in attributed articles, news items or letters. We use the coat of arms of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre on the front page of CATHOLIC to show our unity in the Catholic Faith with the Society of St Pius X, and the papal insignia to manifest our desire to serve the Pope best by our fidelity to Tradition. We refuse to print any material favouring positions not held by the Society of St Pius X. Thus CATHOLIC follows the Society of St Pius X with regard to, for example, sedevacantism, the ‘Indult Mass’ and the Society of St Peter just as it does where the Papacy, the New Mass, ecumenism, theology and the crisis in the Church are concerned.This means that should a Bishop or District Superior of the SSPX ask us to correct something we have published, then we shall most certainly print his correction in submission and deference to his authority. It also means that we are prepared to accept advice and direction from any SSPX Bishop or District Superior. Our editorial policy aims at presenting the Catholic Faith in its fullness, seeking to provide a balanced mixture of eternal truth, edification, education and news aimed at a family readership. We avoid complication in our style just as we sidestep controversy in our content. We leave aside useless or unproven speculations and theories in favour of the endless riches of the Universal Faith. We take great pains to verify all that we publish, since a newspaper must be an organ of truth before all else, but we also bear in mind the words of the heavenly patron of the Catholic press, St Francis de Sales, who said that “a truth which is not charitable is a charity which is not true”. We welcome contributions from clergy and laity all over the world, though whole or partial publication may or may not follow at the entire discretion of the Rev. Fr Editor. Minor orthographic or stylistic adjustments may be made to fit the overall usage of the newspaper without prior consultation with authors. Unsolicited manuscripts become the property of CATHOLIC and will not normally be returned. Reproduction or republication of text appearing in the pages of the newspaper is permitted. We reserve the right to publish any of the contents of its issues on the Internet in perpetuity, and to republish material in any manner. May Jesus and Mary guide, bless and reward all those who collaborate with us in our humble apostolate of the press. Catholic
is now published four times per yer although the issues do not appear
here for a few months. Catholic
