I think the newsread60 has it wrong. A recent example. 

Nicole Sotelo, a regular contributor to our Young Voices column, wrote this opinion piece in early March, A church that young adult Catholics can believe in.  It is, in fact, one of the articles cited by Bob Weber above and discusses, using social science data and personal experience why young people drop out of church attendance. https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/young-voices/church-young-adult-catholics-can-believe

About two weeks later, Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, submitted and we published a reaction and counter opinion to Sotelo’s piece: Let's be honest: It's a lack of faith.  https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/lets-be-honest-its-lack-faith

As editor of NCR, part of my job is to encourage people like Bishop Tobin to write and challenge us. I welcome them.
