 The 2017 Catholic Press Association awards named the "Register" Newspaper of the Year.According to Thomas Tweed, director of the Ansari Institute of Global Engagement with Religion at the University of Notre Dame, "I think the same thing that has happened in American political life and media has happened to some extent to Catholics.Progressive Catholics read "Commonweal" and the "National Catholic Reporter", and traditionalist Catholics watch EWTN and read newsletters from the Blue Army."
