New Oxford Review

[EcceNovaFacioOmni]

How do you feel? Just curious, I have no plans of subscribing. They seem to generate controversy.

[photosynthesis]

I like them! But it's not the kind of thing I'd give to one of my Non-Catholic friends. Whereas I might give them a different magazine, like Crisis or First Things.

[Myles Domini]

NOR are pugnatious and they'll take on anyone whether generally regarded as 'liberal' or 'conversative'. I like their style but I know that many people on both sides of the 'divide' certainly dont appreciate their kick butt take names approach to journalism.

[dspen2005]

of course, the Catechism of the Catholic Church is better...

I'm not much a fan of polemics, so I probably wouldn't enjoy NOR.

[Socrates]

I've never subscribed or read the magazine, though I have seen their ads all over other "conservative" Catholic publications - "You mean Father Bozo no longer amuses you?" and the like.
Their ads could get a little obnoxious.

I read someone on here referring to NOR as "heretical," though I'm not sure what exactly his basis was for this.

Generally I'm a fan of controversy, but not if it's simply indulged in for its own sake (as some publications seem to do).

If I were to recommend one Catholic magazine to people in general, I'd recommend [i]This Rock[/i]. It is the best apologetics magazine out there, and is one of the few Catholic mags out there that doesn't have a political "spin" - though liberals of course would consider it "conservative."

[Era Might]

Yah, This Rock is good.

Another one I would like to subscribe to is Homiletic and Pastoral Review.

[EcceNovaFacioOmni]

I think some of NOR's ads are funny. My major beef with them us the use of the "f" word for homosexuals in an article a while back. It has led to the canceling of many of their subscriptions and strikes me as stupid and uncharitable.

I can't seem to figure this magazine out.

I subscribed to it due to many good references (Karl Keating and a few speakers form EWTN etc.)
While I agree with many of their opinions regarding the state of the Church (Heretics everywhere you look, Liturgical abuses commonplace, and heterodoxy running rampant), I do not agree with resenting the Supreme Pontifff base on decisions he has made.

Saying that "Benedict XVI has forfeited his conservative credentials. Benedict has given away the store."

I mean, show some respect for the Chair of Peter!

As far as their cartoons go; Some I will admit are amusing. However, some are offensive (eg. Two seminarians kneeling side by side with obviously feminine posture, apprearing to be attracted to each other).
This is making a mockery of a very real (and sad) problem.

[Akalyte]

i enjoy the magazine sometimes..

[PedroX]

way, way to angry. Deus Caritas Est?

peace...

[TheOliverOrder88]

I found some of their thoughts and ads amusing and near offensive...

I guess it tips the balance considering some other publications.
