Pewsitter Catholic News App

Pewsitter is a Catholic news app. It pulls together headlines about the Church and the wider world from across the web into one feed.

The app sorts through thousands of daily stories on the Church, religion, and the culture, and surfaces the ones it judges most relevant. You get breaking-news notifications, a reading view built for the phone, easy sharing by email or social media, and even a way to contact your bishop or diocese.

An aggregator like this saves you the trouble of checking a dozen Catholic sites yourself. The trade-off is that someone is choosing what rises to the top, and Pewsitter has a definite editorial lean. It runs traditional and tends toward the culture-wars angle in how it frames stories. Knowing that going in helps you read it well.

Good for Catholics who want to keep up with Church news in one place. Good for catching big stories fast through the notifications. Useful if you like to follow the back-and-forth around the Church closely.

Because it is an aggregator with a viewpoint, it is not a neutral wire service. Headlines can be pointed, and the framing will not be to everyone's taste. It is a news reader, not a prayer or study app. It is squarely Catholic in subject.
