Editorial stance

The magazine promotes conservative Catholic teachings with regard to sexuality and marriage, opposing birth control, divorce, abortion, and what it considers to be indecent literature and film.

As Editor of the magazine Father Fox continued to write on various subjects. Before his death in November 2009, Father Fox appointed John Preiss, a layperson, as Editor of the Immaculate Heart Messenger.
