Much of The Catholic Herald’s content – letters, reviews, news, extra comment and features – is not available online.

This week, Peter Mullen, rector of St Michael's in the City, explains that even though he loves the Pope, he won't be joining the ordinariate; George Weigel writes about the parallel lives of John Paul II and Ronald Reagan; Huw Twiston Davies talks to Fr Samir Khalil Samir, the leading Catholic expert on Islam, about tensions between Egypt and the Holy See; and Jane Fae considers the Church's response to people who think they were born with the wrong gender. Stuart Reid, meanwhile, wonders if a royal marriage is valid without the presence of a Dimbleby.
