Catholic News Service Receives "Caution" Rating for Fidelity

Who would have guessed that?

Of course, many may recall the glowing movie review of Brokeback Mountain not too long ago...but there is so much more.

For years, many have relied on the invaluable web site reviews from Catholic Culture (formerly PetersNet) with respect to Fidelity, Resources, and Usability - with "Fidelity" to the Church's teachings being of utmost importance when it comes to Catholic web sites.

Two days ago, CatholicCulture updated its review of Catholic News Service, the propaganda arm of the USCCB and as we see, a cautionary flag has been raised. Why?

Because of its links to dissident sites and its articles with questionable content.

This comes as no surprise to many who have vocalized these problems in the past. What remains to be seen is what, if anything, the bureaucracy in Washington does to fix its problems...

For more information on the recent review, check it out here.

Failing some very needed corrective action, one would be well advised to view Catholic News Service with discretion and prudence.
