About
The Publican of Philadelphia is a small independant Catholic publication rooted into the greater Philadelphia area.
The Publican will address a whole range of issues, the limits of possible topics are the limits of reality. Some of these topics being: literature, philosophy, beer, lost arts like napping, politics, economics, saints and sinner through the ages.
The Publican will be published four times a year. We seek to publish local authors in an effort to contribute to a greater sense of place and rootedness.
*The views expressed by the contributors of The Publican of Philadelphia are not necessarily those of the publisher, editor, or The Publican of Philadelphia.
Our Name
The name of The Publican of Philadelphia is derived from Jesus' parable of the Pharissee and the publican, or tax-collector (Luke 18: 9-17).
It is our hope to pursue and convey the truth in imitation of the publican; and like the publican to admit failure in a spirit of honesty and deference.
