Catholic Digest - New Orders
It is very similar to "Reader's Digest" in its content, humor, and article style. Naturally, it does have quite the Catholic edge to it that the other "Digest" lacks, but I wouldn't go into a theology fight with it tucked under my arm. It's reserved more for those times when we want to laugh a little bit or read about a young child making a difference in their community. In recent issues, there have been a number of nice articles on individuals who are Catholic and in prominent places in society, lay volunteers, Pope Benedict's life, and Lourdes, France. None of these articles were very thought-provoking but they did supply the reader with some nice general information. However, the magazine has also tackled tougher issues recently such as the existence of evil as secular society and Christians view it and the Real Presence in the Eucharist that most non-Catholics do not believe.
I converted to Catholicism in 2000. In the years before making my final decision, "Catholic Digest" was one of the resources that I picked up. It didn't offer too much in the way of solidifying my decision to join the Church, but it did make some of bumps along the way a little bit softer.
Not all Catholic literature has to be tough and academic. Every once in awhile we need a good laugh or just a nice story of human compassion. That is what I believe "Catholic Digest" excels in doing. I love reading the works of Hahn, Keating, Madrid, and others, but every now and then I like to pick my latest copy of "Catholic Digest," peruse the "Words For Quiet Moments" or leaf through a short article about a Catholic missionary's work in some arid little town in the middle of nowhere. In other words, it gives you a nice little break from the madness that is a Christian life.Granted, it is called 'Catholic Digest' but it lacks in the way too many Catholic publications lack... it doesn't get often enough into what it means to live out a Catholic faith in an everyday world.
It is very well-written, and has a sharp "Guideposts" or "Reader's Digest" feel about the look and tone.
Some articles in Catholic Digest can be poignant, but I want my faith challenged. I want to know how I can serve Christ Monday-Friday. Explain to me the Liturgy... why are various aspects of it important? What about what the Bible says about alcohol, or daily prayer? How about defining Mary's official role, dispelling the mistaken belief than she is equal to Christ (the question of veneration versus worship)?
The Protestant magazines are loaded with accounts about how God changed their lives. I'd like to see more of that. The Protestants have lots of Bible studies and that sort of thing in their magazines. Do I have to buy a Protestant magazine like "Discipleship Journal" "Moody Monthly" to learn how to be a better Christian? They're fine, but it seems with the long history of great theologians, someone could get a Catholic variation on all of that.
I think Catholic Digest is the best publication offered for Catholics. But I'd like more meat.

Having just subscribed to 12 issues of Catholic Digest, and having just browsed through a free copy, I am truly disappointed. This magazine is not the same magazine that I had subscribed to years ago and that it is not a truly Catholic magazine. As a number of other reviewers have pointed out here, and as some writers to the Editor have pointed out, the Catholic Digest has changed! The articles in this magazine have strayed away from the official doctrines of the church. Dissident writers like Andrew Greeley, sj, who have openly disagreed with the Holy See, have columns there. Although Pope JPII died on 3 April this year, the May issue of Catholic Digest made not a single mention about the pope. (Only the June issue started having articles on JPII.) Instead, the cover story in the May issue is about parishes that are being run by women but "women can't be ordained" and "lay people were complaining that clergy in the Church are all-powerful" (?!).Truly, if the editors have any honesty left, they should either change its title or focus, and not dupe faithful Catholics into subscribing to a pseudo-Catholic magazine.
Read Best Reviews of Catholic Digest - New Orders Here
If you are looking for Catholic news, culture, spirituality, history, apologetics, liturgical updates, or DOCTRINE, THIS is certainly NOT the magazine for you.The articles featured in Cath.Dig. are HETERODOX (not orthodox), and stray -in tendency or in explicit terms -from the Magisterium of the Church.
Anti-Christian Feminism, Homosexual Activism, and general Modernist Revisionism and a rebellious "anti-Dogmalism" pervade the pages of "Catholic" Digest, though often (but not always) with veiled language.
For Catholics trying to get their faith straight, or Protestants and non-Catholics trying to find out more about what the Christian Faith is all about, STAY AWAY from this publication!!
As a cleric and a pastor of the Flock of God, I strongly urge you NOT to purchase this magazine.

The Digest's cartoon in the December issue would be inappropriate in any magazine but in a Catholic magazine it borders on disgusting and blasphemous!!!L. Giarratano

Sueddeutsche Zeitung - Daily - Mon-Sat
Personally I like top stories on the first page, the background information on the second, the reportage on page 3 and leaders on page 4, especially if written by Dr. Heribert Prantl. Then they have broad coverage of German and international news. They have more space for editorial content than almost any other German daily. The feature pages ("Feuilleton") are a pleasure to read, especially the articles about politics. Of course there is an business section but I prefer to read The Economist about things like this. Since the paper is edited in Munich they always have some Bavarian news, too. So if you want to know about Oktoberfest, this is your paper. Last, not least there is the famous Streiflicht, a daily gloss on the first page which gives you a refreshing view about the "really important" news today.

Freeman Ideas on Liberty
The Freeman is very different from your standard newsstand reading for countless reasons. First, it touches on subjects that are not often talked about in most magazines. Second, it often offers a perspective that is very different from mainstream magazines. In many ways, its articles are more like those found in a newspaper, since they tend to cover current events and economics/politics. However, unlike the typical American publication, the articles in The Freeman are more intelligent and require a higher level of understanding. Most of the articles in The Freeman would not be included in the average newspaper because they are a little too deep and require a little too much thinking and this is precisely why I like this magazine as much as I do. But most important and obvious among the differences between The Freeman and the average magazine or newspaper is the opinions presented. The Freeman and its many contributors do not hold back when it comes to opinions. They do not attempt to offer a balanced viewpoint or try to sound politically correct. The articles in this magazine are politically charged and they take a consistently libertarian position on all matters, both economic and social. Most every article is a persuasion piece, with the journalists stating in an intellectual and convincing way why their opinion is correct and everyone else is wrong.
One fact about The Freeman that I wish was different is its low number of pages. But there is one valid reason for this: Lack of advertisements. In a typical issue, there might be two small ads at the most, and these ads are usually for the Foundation for Economic Education or ads for books that share the magazine's economic philosophy. This is very nice for those who get tired of flipping through the pages of most magazines and seeing an advertisement on every other page. The Freeman is paid for by the members of the Foundation for Economic Education and through private subscriptions and while the price is higher per issue than most other magazines, the reader gets the enjoyment of having a magazine that is almost completely adfree and dedicated to economic and political talk.
The Freeman is, overall, a solidly intellectual magazine that I will continue to read each month. It offers stimulating reading material from a perspective not often found in magazine publications and it is not a magazine for those who like to read unbiased viewpoints. It would be nice if the issues were a little longer, but The Freeman is still a magazine I recommend to everyone who likes some thoughtprovoking reading material without all the advertisements.

High quality glossy covers, Intelligent articles about tourism, scenes, Paris,
Europe, fashion, music, theater. Not only about France, but happenings all over of the world.
As an example, the "Hors Serie Voyage 2012" which I just received, has articles on
"L'Autre Amérique Gay" including Las Vegas, Seattle, Portland, San Diego, Philadelphia,
New Orleans. I live in Philadelphia, and I found the writing about this city to be very
accurate and entertaining. There is much more, but I let you the pleasure of discovering it.
Si votre français n'est pas trop à la page, vous aimerez en tous cas le belles photos.

I highly recommend this publication. The quality of the magazine is exceptional and the price is right.I subscribed to WLT as a gift for my wife, who is an avid reader and we have both thoroughly enjoyed the first issue.I am very happy with this product. I love to read about excellent ficiton and non-fiction from around the world, preferably outside of America, England and Europe. There's something for everyone who's interested in good writing and little known (here in U.S.A. that is) writers who deserve wider acclaim.
