What is the National Catholic Reporter? Reputable? Or not.
regretably, the National Catholic Reporter is stuffed full of dissident liberals. It went off the rails many years ago.
There are some loose wheels in the Vatican, as in any other human organization or government. But they do pretty well, all things considered. The Catholic Church has something like three times as many members as the U.S. has citizens. But how does the Vatican compare in size and expense to the U.S. government? Of course complaints sometimes get lost or take time to settle.
NCR is a Leftist outfit that uses the Church as a cover and vehicle for their belief that they can fashion an earthly Utopia if only that damnable Magisterium and that holdover reactionary pope can just be pushed aside.
