Catholic World Report

Catholic World Report is a digital news magazine that presents stories from a traditional Catholic viewpoint. After over two decades of being a prominent source for Catholic news, analysis, and commentary, CWR transitioned its impactful content completely online in January 2012, making it accessible to all readers at no cost. CWR offers extensive coverage of news and events that impact the Church globally, tackling questions and exploring topics that mainstream media often overlooks. The magazine includes interviews with influential Church figures and delves into various subjects, including bioethics, life-related issues, the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Asia, the latest updates on vocations worldwide, and the ongoing cultural debates in the United States.
