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.

FREE Catholic Classes

In his first general audience of the year on January 8, 2025, Pope Francis urgently addressed the issue of child exploitation, particularly highlighting the "scourge of child labor." He condemned the exploitation of children who are deprived of their childhoods, dreams, and the opportunity to develop their talents. The Pope's words were a call to Christians worldwide to remain vigilant and responsive to the suffering of children, emphasizing the need for collective action to protect the vulnerable.

Pope Francis calls for global action against child exploitation, urging Christians to protect childrenâ s dignity and ensure they can grow in love, safety, and hope.
