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), Domenico Bettinelli,[4] George Neumayr,[5] and Carl E. Olson (2012–present).[6]
CWR is often characterised as a conservative publication.[7] [8] [9] 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".[10] It has been a vocal critic of clerical sex abuse and associated corruption in the Catholic Church since the early 1990s.[11] [12] [13] It campaigned against the liturgical use of the New American Bible Revised Edition, a modern translation which uses gender-neutral language.[2] [14]
