The latest Brandsma Review says that Peadar Laighléis will be the next editor. Anyone out there know what he's going to do about it? And talking about traditional Catholic media, anyone see this blog: frgabrielburke.blogspot.com/ There is a bit of war going on over there with the manner the Institute of Christ the King use titles.

Yes - Fr Burke has opened a can of worms.
I expect more of the same in the BR from the new editor.

One thing I will say about Shane's suggestion of reprinting earlier Irish Catholic material is that a lot of it would need a commentary - both because it will often contain social and political assumptions which need explaining nowadays (reading Canon Sheehan without some grasp of the differences between irish Catholicism then and now will get you into a real muddle) and because the mistakes of past generations of catholic activists helped to create our current predicament. We need to learn from them but not to replicate them (if that were possible).

I've been looking at ALIVE and CATHOLIC VOICE together and it strikes me that ALIVE is much more professionally presented. The current (September 2011) issue highlights some criticism by the blogger Thirsty Gargoyle of coverage of the Cloyne Report and if the David Norris saga - it is well worth looking up on the Net, especially as TG does not minimise the scale and gravity of clerical abuse - a trap into which many apologists are inclined to fall. The editor's jottings also provides another fine example of the "impartiality" of our Paper of record - the IRISH TIMES film critic Donald Clarke proclaiming that belief in God is so self-evidently false it's not worth refuting, which will not keep the Irish TImes from paying him to sneer at it.
