In this week’s print edition of the Catholic Herald, to mark the first anniversary of his papacy, there is exclusive analysis of Pope Francis’s progress in office so far. Father Timothy Radcliffe explains why Pope Francis wants a ‘Holy Mess,’ while journalist Dennis Sewell predicts that the media honeymoon will soon be over and ambassador to the Holy See, Nigel Baker, describes his initial reaction when he first heard that Benedict XVI had resigned. Meanwhile, Mary Kenny reveals the real reason behind the drop in the teenage pregnancy rate.
Having been unable to sell in churches for well over a year due to the pandemic, we are now inviting readers to support the Herald by investing in our future. We have been a bold and influential voice in the church since 1888, standing up for traditional Catholic culture and values.
Please join us on our 130 year mission by supporting us. We are raising £250,000 to safeguard the Herald as a world-leading voice in Catholic journalism and teaching. For more information from our chairman on contributing to the Herald Patron's Fund, click here
