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.

Deal Hudson Visits a Welcoming Catholic Parish: Water in the Arizona Desert Watch

Image of The surprising welcome wasn't all that would surprise and delight me.

When the Alleluia's End: Learning Life Lessons from Job and His Fair-weather 'Friends' Watch

Image of These are the ones I refer to as the fair-weather friends of Job. I believe that most of us have experienced them. The sooner we come to understand the danger that their false posturing poses, the happier we will all be. These are the folks who claim to have somehow figured God all out - as though the Christian life were some kind of puzzle - and they are very willing to tell you why things are not going easily in your life.

The greatest gift that God gave to Job was real, purified faith. God answered Jobs' sincere, heartfelt prayer for insight into his ... continue reading
