Sectarianism[edit]

spurned sectarianism and religious dogmatism sounds decidedly liberal, almost as if it came from press release?

Have you read a copy? Sounds accurate to me. Pustelnik (talk) 18:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The first commenter is exactly right. The description of the magazine reads like an adulatory press release. And the list of positions intended to illustrate its political diversity is freakin laughable, given that they are pretty much all associated with one side of the political spectrum, excepting perhaps an opposition to abortion, support for which would be a step too far for a magazine that claims to be Catholic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.141.154.75 (talk) 23:38, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Church standing[edit]

There needs to be information on what is Commonweal's standing with the Church, how many bishops support it, how they have supported it, etc. ADM (talk) 13:17, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
