Adds focused WordPress admin publishing shortcuts for parish editorial sections while keeping content in standard Posts.

== Description ==

Editorial Sections adds a top-level Parish Blog menu and a reusable Sections manager to the WordPress admin sidebar.

  • The Sections screen can create, edit, or remove section shortcuts using a simple GUI.
  • Sections are backed by standard WordPress Post categories.
  • Removing a section shortcut preserves its category and Posts.
  • Posts remain ordinary WordPress Posts and continue to work with category archives, Query Loop blocks, feeds, authors, and standard editorial tools.

  2. Activate Modern Catholic – Editorial Sections in WordPress.
  3. Use the Parish Blog item in the admin sidebar.
