EWTN also owns the National Catholic Register ...purchased a few years ago from the Maciel's folks....

It would appear that both the news network and the newspaper are clearly Catholic in origin....Mother Angelica for the network and a local diocesan newspaper originally for the newspaper...very conservative and serve the purposes of the USCCBs conservative hierarchy but are not direct USCCB entities.....

I'd really welcome anyone who could clarify these matters as my google run was relatively unproductive....
