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.

Bishop Finn: Obama's Words Bring Abortion Dialogue to 'Screeching Halt'

Image of Bishop Finn: The President shut the door on dialogue by saying that there was not going to be any change in his position on abortion and he understood that there was not going to be any change in the Church's position on abortion.

The President got up and said that the differences that we have on abortion... were 'irreconcilable'. KANSAS CITY (LifeSiteNews.com) - ... continue reading

A Brief Primer on Stem Cell Research

Image of Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the positive results from research using adult stem cells has increased at an astonishing rate, whereas embryonic stem cell research, mired in technical problems, has failed miserably to live up to the promises of its proponents. The use of embryonic stem cells is condemned by the Church because it always requires that the life of an embryo be taken to produce the cells. As a culture, we would create children to be killed for research in the “hope” (does that term sound familiar?) of discovering something that could be useful clinically.

The Church welcomes adult stem cell research, because it requires no killing of anyone or anything. This research has already produced ... continue reading

Guest Commentary: Judgment and Discernment

Image of The real message is not that we are not supposed to judge, but rather that we are supposed to judge ourselves first, clean our own houses, and then help our brothers and sisters to clean theirs.

Judgment, however, can and should be separated from being judgmental. RICHMOND, Va. (Catholic Online) - A few months ago, after a Lenten ... continue reading

An Eyewitness Account from Notre Dame Protest

Image of Outside the gates of the university. There were nearly 1200 protesters. Not the 350 the press reported. There were marked police cars every 1/4 mile. The police tailed one of the pro-life trucks plastered with aborted baby pictures wherever it went. It couldn't make a move without a police car. Pro Obama people were there taunting white protesters telling a woman she was a b**** and were f**** racist pigs if they didn't like Obama. I am certain if Obama knew this he too would have been sad.

I'll be absolutely frank, it was clear this was a satanic war. SOUTH BEND (Catholic Online) - Father Corapi spoke to a St. Pius group ... continue reading

Archbishop Chaput: 'Notre Dame, the Issues that Remain'

Image of Notre Dame’s leadership has done a real disservice to the Church, and now seeks to ride out the criticism by treating it as an expression of fringe anger. But the damage remains, and Notre Dame’s critics are right. The most vital thing faithful Catholics can do now is to insist – by their words, actions and financial support – that institutions claiming to be “Catholic” actually live the faith with courage and consistency. If that happens, Notre Dame’s failure may yet do some unintended good.

There was no excuse – none, except intellectual vanity – for the university to persist in its course. DENVER (Catholic Online) - There ... continue reading

Guest Opinion: Are You Really Catholic?

Image of You are free to decide where and with whom you stand. You do not, however, have the right to try to change the Catholic Church to suit your opinions or wishes. No matter how brilliant you are, you are not above the Magisterium. No matter how persuasive the political position, you cannot ignore the law of the Church and the Natural Law. Doctrine and Orthodoxy may be distasteful words in this age of personal freedoms, but if you call yourself Catholic, you need to know what Catholic doctrine actually says and follow it.

The Church is not out of step with society; society is out of step with the Church. CHESAPEAKE, Va. (Catholic Online) - “Today more than ... continue reading

President Obama's Notre Dame Address

Image of And in this world of competing claims about what is right and what is true, have confidence in the values with which you've been raised and educated. Be unafraid to speak your mind when those values are at stake. Hold firm to your faith and allow it to guide you on your journey. In other words, stand as a lighthouse.

And of course, nowhere do these questions come up more powerfully than on the issue of abortion. NOTRE DAME (Catholic Online) – As a part ... continue reading
