Pro Vita, pro Ecclesia Dei et pro Hibernia – A journal of conservative Catholic opinion from Ireland
Welcome to the Brandsma Review!
Who we are and what we offer
The Brandsma Review is a bi-monthly magazine of conservative Catholic opinion in circulation in Ireland.
As our name suggests, we have a special focus on book and press reviews, but the Brandsma Review also features first-hand commentaries on the politics of the day as well as articles on ecclesiastical history.
Our team of Irish contributors hopes to give our readers abroad an authentic insight into Irish Catholic culture and the present-day challenges. But we also wish to help our Irish readers see the bigger picture. This is why we closely cooperate with experienced Catholic authors from Britain, continental Europe, the United States and beyond.
Many topics covered in the Brandsma Review have never been addressed in the English language before and encourage further reading. In future, we would also like to offer additional content in Irish.

Supporting and contacting the editing team
The Brandsma Review is essentially a non-profit publication but needs your donations to cover the monthly expenses for web-hosting and administration.
We also aim to make the Brandsma Review available to those who have no access to the internet, but printing and postage cost more than the subscription fee we ask. So please be generous if you can and make an extra donation to bring dedicated, carefully researched pieces from around the world to as many readers as possible.
We always welcome comments on our articles and look forward to hearing from you via post or e-mail. You may also use the contact form below.
