Little girl looking 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 >

Common Good Requires Legal Protection of the Unborn

Image of Do Catholics preserve the common good by declaring themselves pro-choice, but personally opposed to abortion? To answer these questions ask whether there would be any difference between being pro-slavery and pro-choice with respect to people claiming a right to make slaves of African Americans. If pro-choice people were personally opposed to slavery, but were against the legal prohibition of slavery, how would they substantially differ from pro-slavery advocates? On the basis of this analogy there is no real practical difference between being pro-choice and pro-abortion. Either way, women retain the right to take the life of their unborn babies.

Catholics dedicated to the common good will at some point ask themselves what their attitude should be toward Roe v. Wade. SCRANTON, Pa. ... continue reading

Commentary: We Must Set Freedom Free.

Image of The 'abortion right' is some kind of 'super right' in the contemporary culture of death and it now has another victim, authentic human freedom. In 'The Gospel of Life' John Paul II warned '…To claim the right to abortion, infanticide and euthanasia, and to recognize that right in law, means to attribute to human freedom a perverse and evil significance: that of an absolute power over others and against others.  This is the death of true freedom...'
