National Catholic Distorter Hits Hard Times

I rarely like seeing anyone lose a job.  It happened to me early in my career, before I became self employed, as I have been for four decades now, and I wish her nothing but good fortune.  However, the news that the National Catholic Reporter is not doing well gladdens my heart.  Contemporary liberal Catholicism tends to be a fetish of Catholics who came of age in the sixties of the last century, and that is all becoming a very long time ago.  Fads and fashions in the Church come and go, and Christ remains ever the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

This makes me wonder how much the the Reporter was subsidized by funneled money through various “charitable” organizations.

Makes sense if it were kept afloat as such, due to all the other things now going down due to the spigot being turned off – the DNC and the Archdiocese of Washington, to name a couple others…

Yup. Follow the money, always.
Demographics rule.

If this is a liberal Democrat reporter having spread disinformation, then I have no pity. The National Catholic Reporter has always been progressive left of center.

No USAAID money, no NCR, that’s a great trade. Another reason is that their subscribers are dying out. It use to be every Boomer Liberal Catholic had this in their house, and I never went to a foundation of a liberal religious or diocesan priest without seeing a copy. I wonder if America is in the same financial straights.

There’s plenty of free heresy out there for the taking … How the Distorter makes any money selling it is a mystery. I think y’all are right, they must’ve been the beneficiary of the taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda gravy train.

Thank you, Elon Musk!

I can still empathize. Losing employment is a hard blow, even if I have low regard for the work of the employer.

Yes, I understand the pain of losing a job. Been let go a few times over the years.
It’s the “I’m proud of the work I did there” that sticks in my craw. She will continue to do such work in some other relativistic trash pile, we can rest assured. (FYI her bio includes “CNN contributor” and an article on why St Thomas Aquinas would not be a thomist with those wicked trads.)
