Global Catholic Internet-Based Newspaper Born on Easter

Fri Apr 4, 2008 9:00am EDT
"Understanding the Word of God and Discovering Salvation through His Grace"


NEW YORK, April 4, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Within the context of our
publication, "Catholic Decisions," we feel that continual discourse is a
methodology that can be simultaneously employed to strengthen Catholic faith
and to promote international understanding of a Catholic's duty to the
precepts of the Catholic faith," said Raffaello Follieri, CEO of Follieri
Media.

"The timing of our first issue has been planned to coincide with Easter
because, as Christ gave us a promise of new life at his resurrection on
Easter, this newspaper is intended to inject new life into Catholic
discussions of diverse opinions that are both uniting and conflicting - all
for the benefit of increasing awareness of importance of dialogue within our
religion. I subscribe to the belief that when communication ceases, the
community slowly begins to dissolve," Follieri continued, "and to that end, we
have created 'Catholic Decisions' as a means to assure a strong Catholic
community through dialogue, education and communication."

"Catholic Decisions" will focus upon religious, political, social justice and
cultural issues as they relate to the Catholic Church.  The on-line newspaper
will be an independent voice for the diverse Catholic Communities spread
across the globe because religious issues have grown in prominence in recent
years among various constituencies around the world.

"The primary goal of Catholic education is to help the faithful to be
transformed in Christ. As a Catholic publication, we will be bound to fidelity
to the Catholic message as it comes to us through the Church.  This
publication will exist to help its readers to know and to love the God who
made them, and to respond to their Creator with a heart full of love, and a
desire to serve Him and all His children," asserted Follieri.

The on-line newspaper will be available weekly and, in addition to news
articles from around the world, noted Catholic columnists will be featured.
"Catholic Decisions" will also encourage reader participation on important
religious issues featured in each edition.  Contributing authors are
encouraged to submit articles for publication in "Catholic Decisions."

This on-line newspaper will offer subscriptions and advertising as a means of
its sustenance. Rates will be posted on the site.

The inaugural edition of "Catholic Decisions" is available at:
