"National Catholic Register Acquired by EWTN" it says here.

Interesting. It hasn't been a good decade for any newspaper and I don't suppose the Legion's plague of scandals have helped The Register any. But the very few copies of NCR that I've seen lately left me with the impression that there wasn't much point to it. I know what The Wanderer and The Remnant - and, indeed, Commonweal and the other NCR - are all about. But the NCRegister seemed principally about not offending. Will EWTN put some starch into the Register? From what I've seen of EWTN it doesn't seem likely.
