Catholic News Agency has a story explaining why Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City -- Saint Joseph is saying the National Catholic Reporter newspaper has failed to live up to the "Catholic" portion of its name.

"In light of the number of recent expressions of concern, I have a responsibility as the local bishop to instruct the faithful about the problematic nature of this media source which bears the name 'Catholic,'" he wrote in his Jan. 25 column for his diocesan paper, "The Catholic Key".

His comments on the National Catholic Reporter came in the context of World Communications Day, held on Jan. 24. He noted that the day is celebrated then as it is the the feast of Saint Francis de Sales, patron of journalists and the Catholic press.
