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.

The UNBELIEVABLE way Iran is celebrating the 36th anniversary of 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover in Tehran

Iranian student revolutionaries took 52 American hostages

Today marks the 36th anniversary of the terrifying day 52 Americans were taken hostage by a group of Iranian student revolutionaries who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. It wasn't until 444 days later that the hostages were released.

Reports have surfaced that Iranians are remembering this 1979 takeover by setting American flags and effigies of President Obama on fire and flying many anti-U.S. propaganda posters high in Tehran.

"We are here to say, 'down with the USA,'" a 59-year-old teacher going by Abdolah stated. "We will never... let to open this embassy again. It was not embassy - it was a place for spies."

The backlash against the United States continues to grow after the Iran nuclear deal has been made.
