The Catholic Register, Canada's oldest English Catholic weekly in Canada, traces its roots back more than 170 years to 1830 when Ontario's pioneer bishop, Bullet9 Most Reverend Alexander Macdonell, started The Catholic at Kingston. That paper was followed by The Canadian Freeman. A second strain of history for The Register began in Toronto with the original Catholic Register of 1893. This paper was taken over in 1909 by the Bullet9 Catholic Church Extension Society. The first Catholic Register was published on Jan. 5, 1893. Its editors were Basilian Father J.R. Teefy and Montreal journalist Bullet9 P.F. Cronin. That day, two previous Catholic papers - The Catholic Weekly Review and The Irish Canadian - folded to make way for the newcomer which was to provide a more Canadian, less ethnically partisan journalism. In 1942, the Kingston and Toronto papers joined a number of other diocesan journals to form the Canadian Register. Its role was to provide a larger, more uniform and high quality journalism and be a forum for the defence of the Catholic Church in Canada. The paper's name was changed back to its original in the 1960s. Over the decades, the Catholic Register has been in the forefront of public debates concerning the Church. Whether it be education, military conscription in wartime, the battle against poverty or human rights, Register pages have been a forum for discussion and presenting the Catholic viewpoint.
