@holysmoke@CatholicHerald In fact, the letter is asking Herald readers to donate subscriptions to priests, seminaries, religious care homes, and prison/university chaplaincies.
The Jan/Feb issue is off to press celebrating the best Catholic journalism today. We have an exclusive extract from Cardinal Pell's Prison Journal, George Weigel on redemption, a Diary by @ElizabethHurley on her love of religious art and Sir @BillCashMP on his faith and politics
@CatholicHerald@PilgrimTrust I followed the 850th anniversary of Becket’s murder service with a moonlit drive to Saltwood castle where the four knights escaped to after the martyrdom.

My morning fondue hangover vanished instantly on reading this great review by @nickripatrazone in @The_Millions - a much needed literary beacon at a time when so many papers are losing book editors and review pages. #publishersweekly#littlebrown
"Cash puts his life—loves, losses, and longings—on display here, and the result is a paean to hard-worn optimism, and an affirmation of the epistle as cherished form." @nickripatrazone on @williamrpcash's Restoration Heart https://t.co/X9h9nw5Fo5
"Drama found him, or compelled him. Failed relationships were compounded by literary ambitions. He documented it all." @nickripatrazone reviews Restoration Heart, a memoir by @williamrpcash https://t.co/X9h9nw5Fo5
Wonderful US review of Restoration Heart in @The_Millions by @nickripatrazone. With so many US papers losing book editors and scaling back review pages the Millions is a much needed literary oasis. Described by @nytimes as ‘The indispensable literary site’ #littlebrown
Thanks @nickripatrazone for the great US review of Restoration Heart today in @The_Millions - one of the best literary websites. You’re the first critic to correctly pick up on how my memoir belongs in the romantic epistolary tradition rather than just Brick Lit.

“Politics has long been described as showbusiness for ugly people. But as in the world of celebrity, this power list suggests that the most influential movers and shakers are often those who come as a double act.” @CamillaTominey for @Telegraph on our Power Couple list.
