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.

Notre Dame: Statement of Archbishop John J. Myers

Image of When we extend honors to people who do not share our respect and reverence for life in all stages, and give them a prominent stage in our parishes, schools and other institutions, we unfortunately create the perception that we endorse their public positions on these issues. We cannot justify such actions, and the Bishops have stated so clearly and strongly.

Cardinal George: Notre Dame Obama Invite an 'Extreme Embarassment'

Image of The Cardinal urged concerned Catholics to do what you are supposed to be doing: to call, to email, to write letters, to express what's in your heart about this: the embarrassment, the difficulties.

Catholic League: Obama Nominees Catholic Problem

Image of In the late 1980s, Johnsen worked on a lawsuit, United States Catholic Conference v. Abortion Rights Mobilization, that sought to strip the Catholic Church of its tax exempt status; she helped to prepare briefs securing standing for the plaintiffs. Thus, she is not simply a critic of the Catholic Church’s pro-life position—she wants to cripple the institution.

As past staff counsel for the ACLU and legal director of NARAL Dawn Johnsen has actively sought to undermine the Catholic Church. NEW YORK, ... continue reading

Notre Dame: Fr. Cleary’s Letter Falls Short, Archbishop Nienstedt’s Hits the Mark

Image of Two very different letters; a lengthy unclear one from Fr. Hugh W. Cleary, C.S.C. which may produce some good and a courageous missive, short and to the point, from the Most Reverend John C. Nienstedt. It is the one from Bishop Nienstedt which will go down in history when the story of the recovery of Notre Dame is recounted for our children.

It is a travesty that the University of Notre Dame, considered by many to be a Catholic University, should give its public support to such ... continue reading
