Catholicism can't be as nasty and biased as 'Alive'?

Why is the freesheet 'Alive' so opposed to the European Union?

Most issues make snide remarks about the EU.

The February issue has a story about VAT on new homes and how the EU controls so much of our lives. Indeed, the piece tells its readers that EU bureaucrats tightly control Irish life and society.

On the same page (9) there is a piece on Hans and Sophie Scholl's resistance to the Nazis and how the church can learn from the Scholls.

The Scholls were members of the White Rose movement. Its members were brave and paid the price for their resistance to the Nazis.

Sophie and Hans Scholl were martyred on February 22, 1943. But it is worth noting that the group became more resolved in their fight against the Nazis after the German defeat at Stalingrad on February 2, 1943. It was the first significant setback for the Wehrmacht.

Members of the White Rose were remarkable people. Their resolve grew ever stronger after some of their soldier friends came back from Stalingrad.

Neither news item includes a byline. Something akin to the 'hidden EU bureaucrats?

'Free Catholic Monthly Newspaper' is written on the masthead of the free-sheet. Is Catholicism as nasty, sectarian and biased as the sentiments in 'Alive'?

Who edits the free-sheet, who manages it, who finances it? Not a mention in the publication.

'Alive' constantly berates the EU for its 'hidden bureaucrats'. Has the free-sheet an editorial board? 

It attempts to link itself with the Dominican Priory in Tallaght, gives a priory telephone number.  Many people who know little about it easily think that it is connected to the Dominicans. Is it?

Who owns it?
