The Ongoing Exchange - Various Articles About the Periodicals Commonweal Historian Rodger Van Allen describes Commonweal as "perhaps the most significant lay enterprise and achievement in the history of American Catholicism." Others may differ. it is generally "progressive Catholic" in tone and content, tilting leftward along the lines of the National Catholic Reporter and the Jesuit weekly America. Communio - [From the website]: Communio: International Catholic Review was founded in the early 70s by friends and collaborators of Pope John Paul II, such as Joseph Ratzinger, Henri de Lubac, and Hans Urs von Balthasar. John Paul II unarguably set the Church on the path to the genuine renewal called for by the Second Vatican Council—a renewal that eschews both accommodation to the zeitgeist and sectarian bitterness in order to let the light of the Gospel shine on the questions, problems, and anxieties of the age. Ever since its inception, Communio has been committed to this program of renewal through return to the sources of the authentic Tradition. First Things is published by The Institute on Religion and Public Life, an interreligious, nonpartisan research and education institute whose purpose is to advance a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society. It is especially known as the forum for such voices as Michael Novak, George Weigel, Richard John Neuhaus, and Cardinal Avery Dulles. The New Pantagruel - [From the website] The New Pantagruel, published by Pantagruel Press, is a quarterly electronic journal run by a cadre of intemperate but friendly Catholics and Protestants who have seen other electronic journals run by Christians, and thought that while they might not be able to do better, they could certainly do no worse. The New Pantagruel does not have a doctrinal statement such as is typical for publications of this sort because its creators haven't managed to agree on one. They do have an idea of what they’re about though, and if interested, you can read about it in the introduction to The New Pantagruel." Despite their disclaimer, they are by and large favorable to the "Augustinian Thomists" and generally critical of the "Whig Thomists" (Neuhaus, Novak, Weigel). The University Concourse - is an independent journal of opinion published at Franciscan University, Ave Maria University and related Catholic institutions of higher learning.
