The Catholic Register - Canada’s Catholic news source since 1893.

The Catholic Register, Canada's oldest English Catholic weekly in Canada, traces its roots back more than 170 years to 1830 when Ontario's pioneer bishop, Most Reverend Alexander Macdonell, started The Catholic at Kingston. That paper was followed by The Canadian Freeman.

A significant change in the direction of the Catholic press came with the Second Vatican Council, which further reflected openness, optimism and ecumenism. In the 1960s and 1970s, a time of enormous upheaval in the Church, the Catholic press often came under sharp attack, even when only reporting storms in the Church. Today The Register tries to present a broad spectrum of views from within the Catholic community, as well as views from those outside the faith which would, in the opinion of the editor, help Catholics better understand their world.
