The Catholic Review isMaryland's largest paid weekly newspaper distributed by mail. TheReview covers national and international news of interest to Catholics and serves as the newspaper of record for thearchdiocese of Baltimore.[1]
TheReview is the successor to the original diocesan newspaperThe Catholic Mirror (founded in 1833) which was published until 1908. After an interval of five and a half years, underJames Cardinal Gibbons, thenArchbishop of Baltimore, theBaltimore Catholic Review was initiated and later renamed with the shorter title ofThe Catholic Review.[1]
In 2012, with circulation down to 50,000, theReview switched from a weekly to a biweekly publication schedule for the print edition.[2]
In 2002, the publishing office of theReview was set up separately from the Archbishop's Office and the Archdiocese itself as the Cathedral Foundation and moved six blocks north from the Catholic Center/ Archdiocese Building at the southwest corner of Cathedral Street and West Mulberry Street, across from the historicBasilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the old Baltimore Cathedral and Basilica) on Cathedral Hill to 880 Park Avenue, in the surroundingMount Vernon-Belvedere neighborhood.
