# The Catholic Herald

> The Catholic Herald is a Catholic news, culture, and ideas publication founded in London in 1888. It serves English-speaking Catholics worldwide and aims to be a voice of faith, reason, and moral clarity within the broader landscape of ideas and culture. The Herald publishes a quarterly print magazine alongside daily online journalism, covering the Vatican, the global Catholic Church, culture, politics, and the moral questions of the day.

Past contributors include G.K. Chesterton, Evelyn Waugh, Msgr. Ronald Knox, Hilaire Belloc, Graham Greene, and J.R.R. Tolkien. The publication has appeared continuously for over 130 years, from the Victorian era to the present digital age, and broke the news of Pope Pius XII's death in 1958. The Herald's stated mission is to provide faithful, authoritative, and engaging coverage that connects Catholics to the issues that matter most.

Subscriptions fund independent Catholic journalism and provide full access to the digital archive, the print magazine, and members-only content. A free account tier allows a limited number of articles per month.
