The Catholic World Report is an international news magazine published by Ignatius Press that covers issues related to the Catholic Church. It was founded by Joseph Fessio in 1991 as a print monthly. [2] Its circulation was approximately 20,000 in 1995. [2] From December 2011 it ceased print publication and transitioned to an online-only format. [3] Its editors have included Robert Moynihan (1991–1993), [3] Philip Lawler (1993–2005), [4] Domenico Bettinelli, [5] George Neumayr, [6] and Carl E. Olson (2012–present). [7] [8]
CWR is often characterised as a conservative publication. [9] [10] [7] Andrew Brown, a religion correspondent for The Independent, described it in 1993 as "a right-wing Catholic news magazine with an excellent record for accuracy". [11] It has been a vocal critic of clerical sex abuse and associated corruption in the Catholic Church since the early 1990s. [12] [13] [4] It campaigned against the liturgical use of the New American Bible Revised Edition, a modern translation which uses gender-neutral language. [2] [14]
