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.

Health Care Reform and Abortion: U.S. Bishops

Image of While we support reforming our nation’s health care system, we must also be clear in strongly opposing inclusion of abortion as part of a national health care benefit. For decades, Congress has decided not to compel people to pay for abortions with their tax dollars, and this policy should remain in place. We also oppose inclusion of other procedures or technologies that attack or undermine the sanctity and dignity of life.

'No health care reform plan should compel us or others to pay for or participate in the destruction of human life'. WASHINGTON, D.C. ... continue reading

U.S. Bishops Support California Gay 'Marriage' Ban

Image of We endorse the intent of law to provide equal protection for all. However, such purpose does not have to trump the natural and traditional definition of marriage between a man and a woman.

Beyond Liberal and Conservative: Catholic Must Become the Noun

Image of Our best response is to build a model of political participation which stands outside of both major parties and seeks to influence them. There are MANY issues in the political arena where faithful Catholics can-and do-differ. We must live and act politically as if Catholic is the Noun. We are not first “conservatives”, or “liberals”, “left” or “right”, Democrat or Republican, we are Catholics.

Just as there is a hierarchy of truths in Catholic theology we need to develop a hierarchy of values for our political participation. ... continue reading
