Hey sinky, whats this 100,000 circulation number?
A lot of modernist optimism, thats what it is!

"According to reports, the [NCR] paper's circulation dropped to about 35,000 [after the Condemnation] before rebounding. Today [4/25/03] it stands at around 50,000 subscribers in more than 90 countries, a level that it has maintained for years."
...As reported in the NCR 4/25/2003 by Tom Roberts in the obituary he wrote about "Robert Hoyt, NCR founder, dies at 81".

As the number of good holy bishops increases, the further the NCR circulation numbers will decrease. When Mahoney goes the decrease will accelerate.

For the first two years of its existence, the paper did extensive reporting on the Second Vatican Council, the worldwide gathering of bishops that adopted an array of reforms in the church and urged laity to take a new and expanded role in the life of the church. NCR’s circulation surged over a few years from 11,000 to nearly 100,000.

You are correct. The current figure is 50,000, which is 12,000 more than The Wanderer, a paper that has been in circulation much longer than NCR.

The 100,000 figure is old.
