Catholic Magazines
Founded by Jesuits, in 1909, America is the weekly Catholic magazine
of news, opinion, book reviews and articles for the thinking Catholic
and those who want to know what the Catholic people are thinking. They
publish a wide variety of material on religion, politics, economics,
ecology, and more. While they're not a parochial publication, almost
all pieces make some moral or religious point. They need articles on
theology, spirituality, current political, social issues.
Canticle
Writers Guidelines
Canticle Magazine, a quarterly publication of Women of Grace®, is the only journal dedicated solely to the woman’s vocation within the Church. Understanding that the feminine vocation is to be found most fully in the image of Holy Mother Church herself, Canticle endeavors to combine the supernatural realities of living in an incarnational world with practical and accessible material that recognizes the challenges of our generation.
All writers must be solid and mature in an authentic Catholic faith, and write in a tone that is positive and respectful, recognizing that the Holy Spirit guides the Church and provides numerous legitimate charisms to help her members grow in holiness.
Commonweal
Writers Guidelines
Commonweal is an independent journal of opinion edited & managed by lay Catholics. You won't find any soccer scores, recipes, or crosswords in Commonweal, but lots of politics: e.g., the tobacco wars, welfare reform, budget-balancing, Israel & Palestine, China & Tibet, crises in Rwanda, Ecuador, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Hong Kong.... And plenty of ethics-talk: gay marriage, death penalty, euthanasia, abortion. Plus a miscellany: women’s ordination, science & religion, the high cost of college, Social Security, who exactly was/is Jesus?
Is Commonweal liberal? Conservative? Depends on the issue & the writer. From its founding in 1924(!), the journal has held that America has much to learn from Catholicism, and vice versa—a core belief that has survived severe testing in disputes over the Spanish Civil War, civil rights, Vietnam, Humanae vitae....
Historian
Rodger Van Allen describes Commonweal as "perhaps the most significant
lay enterprise and achievement in the history of American Catholicism."
