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 briefs on the church and the pope on daily basis. This is a primary information source and provides full text all the time. It has multiple outlets including CTV, Vatican Radio, Vatican Information Service and Vatican press office. By following the blog you will be keeping tabs with the operations at 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- it offers a collection of news items from church related sites and other secular outlets. This makes it the best landing page for readers interested in daily headlines. It targets the laity and gives them a chance to participate actively in commentaries and providing articles.

UK Catholic Herald- The paper owned by Lord Black of Crossharbour, a convert, remains very conservative yet a reliable source of information and news around the world. The slow newspaper cycle is compensated by a vibrant online portal that captures a national and global following. Its distribution is through parishes in the UK.

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 the source of raw videos about papal events and addresses. It covers the main activities at the Vatican with updates on daily basis. It remains a reliable source of the official position of the church on emerging issues. They also provide links to all the documents cited in their broadcast.

Whispers in the Loggia- the small outlet has beaten mainstream media in breaking news and providing depth when covering church issues. Commentaries are well though-out with an admirable sense of accuracy. It releases information before most mainstream outlets have gotten it. The Editor-in-Chief is a very experienced correspondent.

There are numerous blogs purporting to cover Vatican and the church in general. It is the accuracy, urgency and understanding that differentiate the best from the rest. This makes the above sites reliable sources of church documents, news and doctrinal direction.
