The Margins
A Catholic Paper
The Margins is a Catholic paper for those who have grown tired of the noise.
Printed for the ones who still believe God can be found in strange places:
in the tomb, in the silence, in the margins.
Take it. Read it. Pass it on.
Frequently Asked Questions

The Margins is a monthly Catholic zine from St. Anthony’s Tongue. written and created by W. Tyler Allen.
It’s part essay, part collage, part devotional interruption — a small printed paper about Catholic mysticism, the saints, Scripture, holy foolishness, mercy, wounds, joy, sorrow, and the strange places where God keeps showing up.
In other words: Catholicism off the algorithm and into your hands.

The Margins is written, designed, packed, and mailed by W. Tyler Allen — writer, author, and host of St. Anthony’s Tongue.
This is a small, independent operation, which means every issue is made and sent out with actual human hands, mild chaos, and a lot of care.
