Check out these Catholic news sources to understand current events through a lens of faith.
National Catholic Register, owned and operated by the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN)
Catholic News Service, available at the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) website
Ave Maria Radio offers numerous programs that provide news from the perspective of the Catholic church. Two of our favorites are Al Kresta in the Afternoon (podcast) and Teresa Tomeo Catholic Connection (available locally on 740 AM radio at 9:00 a.m.)
Fr. John Riccardo's Christ Is The Answer is also excellent for spiritual growth.
