Alive! (newspaper)
''Alive!'' is a free monthly publication in the style of a newspaper which has been produced since its first edition in 1996 by ''Alive Group'', an organisation with an address at the Dominican Order St Mary's Priory, Tallaght in Dublin, Republic of Ireland. The current editor is a Catholic priest, Fr Brian McKevitt, who refers to the publication as a 'newszine'. While it claims a circulation of over 300,000 copies, its actual readership is difficult to establish since a substantial portion of its circulation is delivered door-to-door, with most of the remainder being available through Ireland's network of Catholic churches (who do not provide estimates of take-up). It is printed by Datascope, an independent publishing company in Enniscorthy and contains an appeal in each issue for donations totalling €160,000 annually to remain in circulation.
==Political stance and editorial opinion==
Since September 2008, the front page has contained the following disclaimer text: "''The content of the newspaper Alive! and the views expressed in it are those of the editor and contributors, and do not necessarily represent the views of the Irish Dominican Province''".
''Alive!'' upholds a conservative Catholic position on a number of issues relevant to Catholic life. These include abortion, euthanasia, marriage, sexuality, feminism, parenting, children's education, "moral decline", the European Union, the veracity of global warming, the perceived anti-Catholicism of the environmental movement in general, and the veracity of Catholicism generally. Each edition of the newspaper will typically contain at least four or five articles on topics drawn from this list. The majority of its articles are written anonymously.
The publication strongly opposed the Nice Treaty and the Lisbon Treaty on all four occasions on which they were submitted to the Irish people, a position which drew criticism from Irish politicians such as Senator Paschal Donohoe on the grounds that its position could be erroneously interpreted by many Catholics as representing the official views of the Catholic hierarchy. TD Thomas Byrne criticised the publication claiming that he was "bombarded" with its "anti-EU" views while attending mass. Individual politicians and the Oireachtas sub-committee on Europe asked the Catholic Church and Seán Cardinal Brady to ban it from being distributed in churches. Senator Labhrás Ó Murchú stated that it was "completely wrong" to suggest that Cardinal Brady should ban the publication from churches simply because it espoused views opposing the Lisbon treaty. Senator Ivana Bacik defended the criticism of the publication stating that it espoused extreme views that most moderate Catholics oppose and that it was the "equivalent of the paramilitary wing of the Catholic Church".
