We at the Register are grateful for all the support we receive from our loyal readers, many of whom are priests, bishops and cardinals. Every word of encouragement is received as a confirmation of our mission to be the most complete Catholic news source.
Recently, we received a very public endorsement from the newly installed shepherd of Philadelphia, Archbishop Charles Chaput (also a member of EWTN’s board of directors). He said Aug. 18 in a column in First Things: “We make a very serious mistake if we rely on media like The New York Times, Newsweek, CNN or MSNBC for reliable news about religion. ... So whom can you trust?”
He recommended a handful of outlets, including EWTN and the Register. “These excellent media sources will nourish and deepen your faith in ways that the mainstream public media can never provide,” the archbishop said.
Our thanks to all of you for your prayers — and for your generous expressions of moral and financial support that sustain us. We couldn’t do it without you.
God bless you!

Oh thank you Michael - for letting us know that a member of the EWTN board actually endorsed EWTN and the Register.
As members of the Catholic League, our family was always greatly concerned about the hatchet jobs on the Church by the mass media (We have written letters to the Editor). To be fair, some of the journalists may have been trained to do this, but are always at fault for not fully investigating stories, ignoring all facts or lacking the moral courage to bring out the truth.
Last Winter, our Accounting Fraud professor told us that in general, the press only reports 40% of a story and slanted to boot! The rest of the story [we miss Paul Harvey], and true meaning, had to be researched by the readers, themselves. We as a class verified this as true, as we had to research and present a local or national fraud case.
To that end, our family has terminated our subscription to all local newspapers [we now read them in the public library]except for the National Catholic Register. Old copies are left on the table in the narthex at the parish.
“We make a very serious mistake if we rely on media like The New York Times, Newsweek, CNN or MSNBC for reliable news about religion. ... So whom can you trust?” The simple truth is that you can’t trust any of the MSM, including the major networks, cable news and the dying print media for the facts or unbiased reporting. They all have their political agendas that are contrary to truth and they all hate humanity. They have all become extensions of their atheist and nihilist managers and owners.
