Catholic Letters corrects substantive errors openly. This page describes how to report an error and how we handle it.
How to report an error
If you find an error in our content — a misattributed prayer, a wrong feast date, a misquoted source, a factual mistake about a saint’s life, or anything similar — please write to [email protected].
Please include:
- The URL of the article in question.
- A description of the error.
- A source we can use to verify the correct information, if you have one.
How we correct
We aim to acknowledge correction requests within three business days and to publish a correction within seven business days where the error is verified.
Substantive corrections — those that change a fact, a date, an attribution, or the meaning of a passage — are noted in a Corrections block at the bottom of the affected article, with the date the correction was made and a brief description of what changed. We do not silently rewrite history.
Minor edits — typographical fixes, broken-link repairs, formatting clean-ups — are made in place without a published note.
What we will not do
- We will not remove a correctly sourced statement at a reader’s request simply because it is uncomfortable.
- We will not silently delete or rewrite an article to hide an earlier mistake. If an article is withdrawn entirely, a notice replaces it explaining why.
- We will not respond to threats or demands made in bad faith.
If you disagree with our editorial judgment
Where the disagreement is theological or interpretive rather than factual, we will read your message carefully but we may not make the change you request. Catholic Letters writes from within the teaching of the Catholic Church as expressed in the Catechism; disagreements about that teaching are best addressed to your local pastor.
