Eye of the Tiber was created in the winter of September 2012 with the gallant and virtuous aim of reporting Catholic news as it happens, when it happens, and before it happens. Since the launch of our hard-hitting, critically acclaimed, and world-renowned news site, we have broken and destroyed some of the biggest news stories in the Catholic world. We were the only Catholic news agency to report that Pope Francis had picked up a midnight shift at McDonald’s to help the poor. We were the first to report that a dissident Legionary was parting his hair in the middle. And readers of our distinguished site were first to learn when the civil liberties organization American Atheists sued to remove the letter’s “G,” “O,” and “D” from the alphabet.

Catholic Answers began in 1979 after a Fundamentalist church in San Diego, California, decided to leaflet the cars at a local parish during Mass. The fliers attacked the Eucharist and were riddled with misinformation. Upon coming out of Mass and finding one on his car, attorney Karl Keating was annoyed and drove home with a modest goal: to draft a tract that would present basic Catholic beliefs and refute anti-Catholic charges. Keating signed the tract “Catholic Answers,” opened up a post office box in that name, and then placed his rebuttal on the windshields of cars in the Fundamentalist church’s lot.
