We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

‘Mongol'

Image of Director Sergei Bodrov (C) and actors Tadanobu Asano (L) and Khulan Chuluun of 'Mongol' arrive at the 80th annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, February 24, 2008. Long on ethnographic detail and visual splendor but short on narrative coherence, Sergei Bodrov's 'Mongol' relates the story of Genghis Khan's early years in a plodding, uninspired fashion that doesn't bode well for the next two entries in a planned trilogy.

The very words "Genghis Khan" bring to mind a bloody and brutal domination so ruthless that the only release was death. Certainly, much of ... continue reading
