Eight Of The Best Traditional Catholic Blogs For News

By Enid Hinton


Main stream media does not understand issues about the church and is therefore an unreliable news and information source. Their weakness is to reduce Catholicism into a few doctrines that they have no idea about. The following traditional catholic blogs for news provide detailed and accurate information for the laity and the clergy.

Vatican News- it offers regular briefs from the pope and church ranks. It is termed as the best primary source for Vatican related news and thus feeds global media outlets. Some of the departments it runs include Vatican Press Office, CTV, Vatican Radio and Vatican Information Service. It also provides updates from the curia.

National Catholic Register- It was established in Denver around 1920s and has remained strong to-date. Its ownership keeps changing and in 2011, it was taken over by Legionaries. Its professionalism makes it an authoritative originator of church news. It runs a bi-weekly paper that slightly makes it a slow information source.

New Advent- It has maintained its leading position because of thorough research and urgency with which it releases Vatican news. It runs a host of other services including catechistical commentaries and an online catholic encyclopedia. It remains a credible source of documents from Vatican and has added an online old and New Testament bible.

Pew Sitter- This site gathers coverage of church issues by media outlets around the world into one platform. It will give you a glimpse of what is trending about the church in different areas. It also offers platforms for laity to contribute articles and comment on issues in accordance with Vatican II declaration.

UK Catholic Herald- it runs as a newspaper with a considerably slow cycle. It is distributed in parishes with a nationwide readership. Its conservative stunts have been recognized within the UK media platform. It is currently co-owned by a convert by the name Lord Black of Crossharbour.

Rome Reports- This is an excellent source of Vatican related videos. These videos are uploaded frequently and are about papal events and news about the church. It is based in Rome and specializes in covering the pope. It runs a half hour news program every week but is a reliable source of instant Vatican coverage.

The Vatican YouTube- This is a live coverage of papal addresses and events around the world. The videos are updated regularly and as events happen. It is a credible source of official church positions on issues and goes ahead to attach documents referenced in speeches and releases.

Whispers in The Loggia- This may be rated as a small outlet but it has beaten established church and secular outlets in breaking Vatican news. Their commentaries on issues are intelligent, accurate and considered. The experience of its Editor-in-Chief as a correspondent may be the reason it beats other outlets.

Information about Vatican and the church in general is available from multiple sources. However, some of the blogs stand-out because of their depth, swiftness and accuracy. Some are better sources of Vatican news, documents and doctrinal information than established outlets.
