An Introduction to Leaven Magazine, Volume 1, Issue 2, by Gregory Daly. Leaven is a bimonthly digital magazine mainly for and by young Catholics in Ireland, providing readers with thought-provoking material from a range of voices, talking about everything, and holding to what is true. Bringing a spiritual lens to the world, we aim to showcase a coherently and distinctly Irish Catholic vision that is kind and thoughtful, honest and faithful, balanced, relevant, and fresh. We are firmly committed to getting beyond stereotypes and stale talking points, highlighting that smart, young, curious, compassionate people – and especially women! – are integral to our Church, and helping their voices be heard. Leaven is for anyone who wants to grow a genuine living faith in their own life and become a leaven for Ireland and the world.
Each issue will explore a mix of topics from science to literature, pop culture to social justice, history to philosophy and beyond. This second issue will be available in mid June 2021, under the editorship of Greg Daly, formerly of The Irish Catholic, Aleteia, and Catholic Voices.
