A far-left Catholic media outlet engaged in stridently challenging Catholic teaching and promoting women’s ordination, same-sex marriage, climate change alarmism as well as Pope Francis’ theological innovations has gone bust in just 18 months.

Novena News, which was born with “the goal of becoming a world-leading source for news on religion in Europe and beyond as well as a mouthpiece for the most authentic reforming currents in the Catholic Church,” shut its operations Nov. 30.

“Unfortunately, today that dream comes to an end for us,” editor Cameron Doody said, lamenting that “the COVID-19 crisis has hit us hard, and after months of holding on and seeing the light flicker and fade at the end of the tunnel, we’ve made the difficult decision to cease publication, effective immediately.”

Doctor Doody, former staff writer at the Madrid-based Religión Digital, a leading Spanish-language religion news website, stressed that forces which had sparked Novena News’ activism would not cease.

“There are many in the Church today fighting for the same causes of Catholic reform, accountability, inclusion, solidarity, social justice, co-responsibility and the like that we have fought for and who have inspired us, and whom we look forward to following in the future,” he wrote in the media’s obituary.
