Irish Rosary
Irish Rosary ("A monthly magazine conducted by the Dominican Fathers"), was an Irish Catholic monthly magazine produced by the Irish Dominicans. The Irish Rosary was the first publication from the Dominican Publications since its foundation in April 1897, published from the Dominicans, St. Saviour's Priory, Dublin, the monthly journal continued to appear until 1961. Doctrine and Life was published as part of it from 1948 until 1951, when they were published independently. Irish Rosary promoted Catholic writing, publishing, poetry, and stories, and ran writing competitions. The magazine's ethos and content were against Freemasonry and strongly anti-communist; the paper took the nationalist, pro-Franco side in the Spanish Civil War. People associated with Irish Rosary

The historian Dermot Keogh claims that, like other Catholic publications at the time, The Irish Rosary published many antisemitic articles. See also
