LOL!! It bugs you that the NCR is more widely read than any other Catholic paper.
It is you who are rationalizing.
No, perhaps you are confusing me with someone else, I say to you again, (as was my original point) that 100,000 is rather irrelevant in the scheme of things. I'm not saying that the Wanderer is more relevant, it is less so, but your rationalizing that this paper in any way is "needed" in the Catholic community of around 1 billion to communicate is a gross overstatement.
What's worse, the continual attempt to mollify those on here speaking out against this clearly small, yet so call Catholic publication is counterproductive in the long run to both Catholicism and conservatism.
