Philip F. Lawler is editor of Catholic World News, the first English-language
Catholic news service operating on the internet, which he founded in 1995.
He is also the program director of the Center for the Restoration of Christian
Culture at Thomas More College in New Hampshire.

Born and raised in the Boston area, he attended Harvard College,
graduating with honors in Government in 1972. He did graduate work in
political philosophy at the University of Chicago before entering a career in
journalism.

Mr. Lawler has served as Director of Studies for the Heritage Foundation, a
conservative think-tank based in Washington; as founder and president of a
national organization of Catholic laity; and as editor of Crisis magazine. In
1986 he became the first layman to edit The Pilot, the Boston archdiocesan
newspaper. From 1993 through 2005 he was editor of the international
monthly magazine Catholic World Report.

Philip Lawler has been active in political campaigns, as a speechwriter and
organizer, on the local, state, and national levels. He was an honorary
member of the Inauguration Committees for President Ronald Reagan in
1984, and for President George Bush in 1988. In 2000 he himself was a
candidate for the US Senate, running against Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Mr. Lawler is the author of ten books on political and religious topics,
including The Faithful Departed (2008), on the decline of Catholic influence in
Boston; Lost Shepherd (2018), a candid appraisal of Pope Francis; and most
recently Smoke of Satan: How Corrupt and Cowardly Bishops Betrayed
Christ, His Church, and the Faithful…and What Can Be Done About It (2018). His
essays, book reviews, and editorial columns have appeared in over 100
newspapers around the United States and abroad, including the Wall Street
Journal, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe.
He and his wife Leila (the author of the best-selling Summa Domestica)
have seven children and (at last count) twenty grandchildren. The Lawlers
now live in central Massachusetts.
