Other celebrities that have had partnerships with the Hallow app include Mark Wahlberg, Chris Pratt, Liam Neeson, Jim Caviezel, Jonathan Roumie, Bear Grylls, Kevin James, Mario Lopez, maybe more.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they all practicing Catholics? Catholicism itself maintains a hardline position that abortion is murder. If we're gonna hold them accountable for partnering with a Catholic app for its anti-abortion stance, why not address the religion itself that teaches it as doctrine?

Hallow isn't an official Catholic Church app. Hallow is a lifestyle wellness meditation grift with a Catholicism skin run by tech startup people.

That doesn't really address the point that the part of Hallow with which people are taking issue is core to catholicism
