A new Catholic magazine is to launch in Scotland ahead of Pope Francis’ visit for the Cop26 climate conference.
The magazine launch follows the collapse of Scotland’s only independent Catholic newspaper, the 135-year-old Scottish Catholic Observer (SCO), during the coronavirus pandemic.
Former SCO-editor Ian Dunn will helm the magazine alongside co-owners Mary and Dan McGinty. Mr Dunn, the managing editor, said:
“People are quick to write off Catholicism and quick to write-off print journalism, but there’s still plenty of people in church on Sunday and plenty of people who want to read stories about their faith and their community.”
The magazine “Scottish Catholic” will launch on October 15 and will cost £2, with the first edition free.
