I defended subscribing to Faith & Family magazine recently with three reasons that can also be reasons to subscribe to the Register.
1. Catholic families should get Catholic publications to reinforce their identity. My children still refer to information and images regarding the faith they only know from the Register.
2. Not to be too dire, but it is 100% take-it-to-the-bank true that if people don’t subscribe, there will be no website to go to … and no newspaper either. Not enough people are subscribing. We need to change that!
3. ... what I said there was “because Faith & Family competes with secular women’s magazines. We shouldn’t cede that territory to magazines that are all about ‘Tease Him, Please Him’ and ‘Be Your Own Hero.’”
Here, I can say, because the Register completes and corrects the picture that the secular news gives you. Without it, you will never know the true story of our time: how grace is working in the world.
Not to mention all that the Register gives you: movie reviews from a Catholic perspective. Weekly book pick. Weekly TV picks. Weekly Umbert. Weekly Baby Mugs. Weekly travel shrine. Weekly advice columns. Being at the Pope’s side; hearing all he says. Weekly Mark Shea. Weekly help for your family.
Now is no time to NOT subscribe to the Register!
