CWR is often characterised as a conservative publication.[9][10][7] 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".[11] It has been a vocal critic of clerical sex abuse and associated corruption in the Catholic Church since the early 1990s.[12][13][4] It campaigned against the liturgical use of the New American Bible Revised Edition, a modern translation which uses gender-neutral language.[2][14]
