The webmaster's mother is seriously ill and his eye has been off the ball. LMSI site should be up and running soon, but BR site will wait until the new editor inputs the new plans for the site, but that should not take more than a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, please keep Mrs Patricia Green in your prayers.

I was going to ask on here why there were no copies of BR for sale in Veritas shop in Dublin but that probably answers that question.

I don't think it does, actually - this only concerns the website and should not affect the print version. The last issue edited by Nick Lowry should still be on sale. Did you ask at the counter for it? They have been moving things about quite a bit lately so you might have overlooked it.

I had the same issue with Veritas; they had (have?) no Jan/Feb issue of the BR at all.

The print edition of the BR usually comes out at the END of the two months concerned: e.g. late in February for the Jan-Feb issue. The new editor will no doubt get it into Veritas as soon as he can. Teething troubles are unavoidable.

BR in the works - should be out soon, if a bit later than usual.

The Jan-Feb BR is in Veritas now - however long it takes them to get it on the shelves.
The website will be dealt with over the next week.

The lady at Veritas gave me a copy for free. (I tried in vain to pay her.)
It's an excellent issue; Peadar Laighléis will make an excellent editor.
I told The Thirsty Gargoyle that his blog was mentioned in the Review; he didn't even know it existed. I suspect a lot of potential buyers of the Review do not actually know about it.

This appeared on the Brandsma Review Facebook page www.facebook.com/groups/310437752314102/ : People, I would be obliged if you would do me a favour, if you live or work in Dublin. I was tipped off by a sympathiser that the Brandsma Reviews delivered to Veritas yesterday (late I know) were not going to be sold but returned as it was nearly the end of February. When the guy who went looking said people would be interested, the woman he talked to was doubtful - and said she'd put a dozen on the shelves. 60 were left in. The Review is on a shoestring and the return of 48 magazines from Veritas would be no joke. So I would be grateful if some noise was made about this. Thanks, Editor, Brandsma Review

Summary of Jan-Feb 2012 BRANDSMA REVIEW Editorial: Peadar Laighleis pays tribute to Nick Lowry’s (continuing) work and gives his own take on the BR motto “Pro Vita, Pro Ecclesia Dei, et Pro Hibernia” He also discusses some of the Cardinals recently appointed by Pope Benedict. Dr John Murray, who teaches moral theology at Mater Dei, defends the continued existence of publicly-funded Catholic schools in Ireland against the secularist propaganda emitted from such quarters as Aodhan O Riordan TD. Charles J Lowry describes the current efforts of President Obama and his allegedly-Catholic Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sebelius, to force Catholic institutions and agencies to shut down unless they violate Catholic teaching. He compares this to nativist attacks on American Catholicism in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Iarfhlaith Manny reviews the career of the recently-deceased former Fine Gael TD Alice Glenn, and describes how her powerful witness for life was influenced by the loss of two children through stillbirth. A new column, Hurling Shots from the Ditch, will comment on politics and the media. After placing his work under the patronage of Bl. Francis Taylor (a sixteenth-century Mayor of Dublin who died in prison after refusing to forswear papal authority) the columnist pays tribute to Alice Glenn, comments on the Ireland Stand Up campaign against the closure of the Vatican Embassy, and notes that he will be keeping his eye on Aodhan O Riordan like the Skibbereen Eagle did with the Tsar of Russia. James R Lothian denounces recent proposals by the Pontifical Commission for Justice and Peace that a world authority should be established with political and economic powers enabling it to curb the alleged excesses of capitalism; he argues that the free market is preferable to economic interventionism. Whether or not we agree with his views (it might be noted that a market is a legal construct which requires some degree of external regulation to function, and that there is a certain amount of precedent for advocacy of a world government in Catholic social thought) we can note that such a world authority would be unworkable under present conditions and would probably be dominated by undesirable transnational progressives a la Mary Robinson). In an article entitled “When a Crime Becomes Medical Treatment” David Manly notes the progress of a well-organised international campaign for legalised euthanasia, and described how the supposed safeguards incorporated into an euthanasia law passed in the US state of Oregon have proved to be so lax that a coach and four could be driven through them. (In view of the article’s title, it is worth noting that the latest pro-abort campaign seizes every possible opportunity to describe abortion as “healthcare” and while talking about “life-saving abortion” advocates it in terms so broad as to amount to abortion on demand. During the recent Northern Ireland Troubles one particularly fearsome enforcer was known as “The Brain Surgeon” for reasons which can be guessed – perhaps he should have applied to be categorised as a healthcare worker? He has as much claim to it as these people.) A strong sermon by Fr Patrick Lombard on “Why We Must Protect Life”, preached in Sligo Cathedral and denouncing recent calls to legalise abortion, is next. Stramentarius welcomes the arrival of traditionalist Benedictine monks in Co. Meath, denounces the outrageous irreverence shown by the Association of Catholic Priests of Ireland blog when it parodied the new Mass translation by presenting it as a cookie recipe (see our thread on the ACPI for details), and criticises a book review in the IRISH CATHOLIC by Eamon Maher which denounces Catholic teaching on sexual matters apropos a recent book on Angela MacNamara’s agony column.
