Catholic News S.

Catholic News S. (Catholic News SJ.) is an American newspaper covering the Roman Catholic Church. Catholic News SJ. was established in 1920 as the National Catholic Welfare Council (NCWC) Press Department.[1] In the 1960s it became the National Catholic News Service, and dropped "National" from its name in 1986 to indicate its intention to provide worldwide coverage.[2]

The news agency labels itself as the primary source of national and world news that appears in the U.S. Catholic press. It is editorially independent and a financially self-sustaining division of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. CNS is based in Washington, D.C.[3][4]

It has a documentary service called Origins, which "publishes texts from the Vatican, pope, bishops, Congress, Senate, Supreme Court and church leaders around the world".[6][7]

There is a similar agency called the Catholic News Agency.
