Catholic Comment
Linked with the international group Catholic Voices, Catholic Comment is a national[1] socially conservative advocacy group based in Ireland. Its membership is limited to people who are "enthusiastic about their faith."[1] It aims to "try to throw light on the mission and message of the Catholic Church" and "complement the work carried out by bishops and others."[2] Launched for Dublin's International Eucharistic Congress in June 2012, it immediately began work at promoting Catholic doctrine in media interviews, appearing on dozens of programmes in its first year.[3][4] It is at the forefront of arguing for the preservation of a Catholic ethos in schools and opposes any move towards same-sex marriage.[3] It receives many requests from the Dublin media.[4] Petra Conroy coordinates the group and says, “We would never refuse any show as long as we have someone available.”[4]
