The New Oxford Review (NOR) is a magazine of traditionalist Catholic cultural and theological commentary.[1] [2] It was founded in 1977 by the American Church Union as an Anglo-Catholic magazine in the Anglican tradition to replace American Church News.[3] [1] It was named for the Oxford Movement of the 1830s and 1840s.[1] In 1983, it officially "converted" to Catholicism.[3]
During its earlier history, the magazine championed Pope John Paul II's condemnation of the dissenting Catholic theologian Hans Küng. It supported Bernard Francis Law in his condemnation of the Catholic Common Ground Initiative.[4]
In 2006, George A. Kendall, writing in the conservative Catholic newspaper The Wanderer, questioned the Catholicity of the NOR based on what he viewed as its strident Calvinist tendencies.[5]
