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.

Maybe Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty Should Run For President Watch

Image of Pictured: Phil Robertson, the Patriarch of the family in Duck Dynasty.Some claim that we should separate religious and moral values from political or economic issues. However, just as the human person is an integrated whole and you cannot separate the soul and the body, the body politic is an integrated whole.There is a moral basis to a truly free society. You cannot separate moral values from our common life together. To do so threatens the foundation of our Civil Order. In his down home, folksy way, without all the words people like me use, Phil Robertson says all of this. However, he does so in a way which not only rings true but moves people to reach down into their hearts and clear out all of the rubbish we have accumulated.

The Patriarch of Duck Dynasty, Phil Robertson, addressed the Republican Leadership conference in New Orleans, Louisiana this past ... continue reading

Will We Dedicate June to the Heart of Jesus or the LGBT Lifestyle? Watch

Image of No-one denies that all human beings have fundamental human rights and human dignity because they are human beings. That includes those who self identify as homosexual, lesbian or transgendered. However, God loves them because they are human persons, not because of their non-marital sexual practices. This kind of recognition of the dignity of all human persons is not what this proclamation dedicating June as LGBT Month is really about. The President of the United States is not only defining deviancy down he is proclaiming that claiming the normal is now deviant.This is a part of a cultural and social agenda.

In 1993, the late Democratic Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, wrote an essay entitled Defining Deviancy Down in which he wrote these words ... continue reading

Justin the Martyr is a Model for Our Mission in this Pre-Christian Age Watch

Image of As we reflect on the meaning of the Memorial Feast of Justin, Martyr, as well as the witness of Marcellinus and Peter, we need to implore the Lord to raise up new apologists, defenders of the faith, who are unafraid to contend in the marketplace of ideas for the heart and soul of the people of our age. We need to be ready to become the answer to our own prayer -and prepare ourselves accordingly in prayer, study and boldness of action. We live in a new missionary age. Pope Francis is a great inspiration for us. In his gospel joy and simplicity he challenges each of us to embrace the ancient but ever new Christian faith and enter into the missionary task of this hour. It will take men and women who are willing, as Justin was, to say yes to the Lord to this invitation.

We are living in a Pre-Christian age. I long ago stopped participating in the ongoing debate about whether this is a post-Christian or ... continue reading
