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.

A Gallup Poll taken May 7-10, 2009 similarly reported 51% of respondents identifying themselves as pro-life versus 42% who identified themselves as pro-choice.

California Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Proposition 8

Image of Proposition 8 in California clearly expressed the will of the voters of California. In the wake of the relentless and continual efforts of the new cultural engineers, the people of that State amended the constitution to read what was always implied, that marriage is what it is, the lifelong union between one man and one woman ordered toward the bearing of children and creation of a family.

For centuries the truth about marriage was accepted as a part of the Natural Law. Today the California Supreme Court left any change in the ... continue reading

A Little Child Shall Lead: 12-Year-Old Pro-Life Lia Speaks at March for Life

Image of Lia rhetorically asked the crowd, 'Why do we think that just because a fetus can't talk, or do what we do, it isn't a human being yet? Could it be that we only call them humans if they're wanted? Fetuses are definitely human, knit together in their mother's womb by their wonderful creator,'Lia said, referencing Psalm 139.

Almost one third of our generation never made it out of the womb, all those lives are now gone. All that potential, gone, and all that hope ... continue reading

Religious Liberty = Homophobia?

Image of So this is what we’ve come to in America: religious objections to homosexuality, rooted in the Bible, natural law and the teachings of most religions, is nothing more than a pernicious phobia.
