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.Help Now >

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Wuolou worked at the pope's home in the Santa Marta guesthouse and for priests', according to the Mirror.
"She worked as a kind of gatekeeper for the Pontiff, as well as for the bishops and cardinals who stay there," stated the Italian press reports.
Initial examinations of the body show no signs of foul play, and her family members, ex-husband, and recent boyfriend have all been interviewed.
According to reports, the woman suffered from a serious form of diabetes and her pregnancy was at risk.
"Pope Francis had been informed of the death. We are all pained by this news," expressed Vatican spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi.
Further DNA tests will be carried out on the fetus for more information into the tragedy.
