happy to have the opportunity to subscribe.

maybe it's just me, but "the pillar" in a Catholic context puts me in mind of the second sorrowful mystery of the Rosary more than of anything else.

Godspeed, gentlemen.

I was heartbroken when I saw the news about EWTN's recent decisions. Despite my strong disagreement with JD's opinion of Boston, I have come to really rely on JD and Ed's work over the past year or two.

Ironic that the CFRs who are featured on Ascension Press listed EWTN's Editor's Desk as one of their favorite podcasts on a recent YouTube video. I believe they mentioned both JD and Ed by name as the people they go to when they need the straight line on news from a Catholic perspective.

Keep up the fantastic work confident that you will have at least my meager financial support.

When I heard the news about your departures from CNA, I immediately wondered what you would be doing next and where I could find it. As a faithful Catholic committed to addressing the problem of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, I hope you will continue to explore that issue, even when it's not at the top of the headlines. Thank you for caring about the Church - and caring about the truth.

JD, reading this brought me to tears! Tears of Hope and Joy! So much venom in most coverage of our Holy Mother Church... such a delight to hear your voice in all of this. Looking forward to more! 🙏💞 ⛪️

So happy about this. I read Psalm 1 yesterday with the caution of “sitting with scoffers” and it was for me such a commentary on what a lot of the Catholic media has become vis a vis Pope Francis and the Catholic Church in America and an admonition for me to be more discerning in who I sit with on the media. Thank you for this venture. And God bless all involved in The Pillar.

Happy to Subscribe. I read through the introduction and it is always evident that the worse things are the more our Lord sends his guiding hand. Balanced with Truth. God Bless you

Well done guys. As a young Catholic husband and father from Ireland, it was really striking me over last year that balanced, honest Catholic journalism that remains true to Church teaching and doesn't go off on a different path (even if intention is good) is actually really hard to find. I have followed both JD & Ed on Twitter for a while but absolutely love the articles and especially the first Podcast. Well worth paying the annual subscription. Keep up the great work!
