For variety in reading, I’d have to recommend either Our Sunday Visitor or National Catholic Register. Both are weekly Catholic newspapers.
In my opinion, the Visitor is a lighter read than the Register. If I remember correctly, you might enjoy the Visitor’s style as something akin to Catholic Digest.
Maybe you could get each (Visitor and Register) to send you an old copy and compare the two?
I would stay away from St. Anthony’s Messenger. Their website,
AmericanCatholic.org has been given a bad review for their fidelity “to the mind of the church.”
From Catholic Culture website reviews: “DANGER! The site tends toward disobedience to ecclesiastical authority, schism or heresy. There is repeated emphasis on views which contradict or undermine either the teachings of the Church or her disciplinary authority.”
You might want to check into Faith & Family magazine, however it’s only published 4 times a year. Law Witness also has variety. My favorite is Crisis, but it is not light reading.
Hope this helps!
