Essays on the Catholic Church, theology, history and more.
The WM Review is under the editorship of S.D. Wright and M.J. McCusker.
S.D. Wright holds a degree of M.St Theology from the University of Oxford.
M.J. McCusker holds a degree of MA History from the University of York.
We publish a full-length article every Thursday relating to the issues facing the Catholic Church in the modern world.
Our mission is to “Strengthen What Remains”.
We want to help Catholics keep the Faith in this current crisis, and to help non-Catholics see the truth of this Faith and to embrace it.
We think we can only do this by:
Asking the right questions
Providing the right sources and authorities
Remaining always faithful to the perennial magisterium of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, outside of which there is absolutely no salvation at all.
We do not presume to have a neat set of answers and theories. We have a suggested reading list of such sources authorities from before this time of confusion.
We believe that God gave man the great gift of reason to pursue, discover and express truths about his creation and the content of his Divine Revelation, as proposed by the Roman Catholic Church.
Because our mission depends on getting the ideas out there, we really do not want to put our work behind a Paywall.
Nonetheless, producing work like this takes time, resources and effort. If you are able to make a financial contribution it will assist us in continuing to make our content freely available to all.
So if you have the means, and want to support our mission to “Strengthen What Remains”, then please consider becoming a paid subscriber:

Style Conventions
Some may find aspects of our style unusal. Here are some points to clarify.
We use British English at all times.
We usually refer to others with the title by which they are commonly known. Use of a surname without a title is a standard convention after the first mention, and as such carries no subtext or disrespect to the person.
We do not capitalise pronouns that refer to God or his saints. This practice does not appear in Latin or in even quite recent English Catholic writings (for instance, the Douay-Rheims Bible). It seems to have been introduced or popularised by Protestants, although many Catholics have later adopted it. But it hardly seems credible to think that God is honoured by the arbitrary capitalisation of words, especially when this often confuses the flow of text, flattens typological references in the Old Testament, and has no clear place to stop (for example, some would extend this practice to relative pronouns such as “who”). Why not capitalise also the verbs that refer to God as subject? For this reason, we pursue a radically lower case convention wherever possible.
We welcome corrections of typographical errors.
