2022
In our March-April 2022 issue, we feature a series of contributors who each reflect on the character and influence of the Pope Emeritus, Joseph Ratzinger, who turns 95; James Baresel critiques Vatican liturgy head Archbishop Roche’s views opposing the Traditional Mass; college president Michael McLean explains “The Tyranny of the Modern College Campus”; and some who knew her best say goodbye to one of the 20th century’s great Catholic philosophers, Alice von Hildebrand.
In our January-February 2022 issue, we present our annual “Top Ten People of 2021” – profiles of ten “people who refuse to let the darkness prevail,” ranging from an American Lt. Colonel who struggled to save Christians in the last moments of the US pullout from Afghanistan, to the Swiss Guard who was fired for refusing to accept the abortion-tainted Covid vaccine. We also feature an interview with Traditional liturgy expert Peter Kwasniewski and excerpts from his new book, From Benedict’s Peace to Francis’s War; a review of the new book on the “St. Gallen Mafia”; and Dr. Gavin Ashenden, former Anglican bishop and chaplain to the Queen of England, explains his departure from the Church of England for the Catholic Church.

Franche dite Laframboise explains why Doctrine is a “Treasury of Light”; and we celebrate Christmas with beloved St. Francis of Assisi.
