Catholic Answers - Catholic Answers Magazine

Catholic Answers Magazine, which was titled This Rock until 2011, deals with various aspects of Catholic theology, practice, apologetics, and evangelization. The magazine formerly published ten issues per year; in 2009, it was reduced to six issues per year. The current editor is Tim Ryland. The first issue was dated January 1990. The original title This Rock referred to Matthew 16:18, in which Jesus tells the apostle Peter: "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church." In the January 1990 inaugural issue, publisher and then-editor Karl Keating stated the magazine's mission: "Our desire is to mirror the Rock which is Peter, which rests upon the Rock which is Christ, and to explain clearly and accurately the Catholic faith."
