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.

Benedictine bishop. Born at Salerno, he entered the Benedictines and was a monk at Cava, in southern Italy Sent to Cluny in 1062, he spent six years there and then was named bishop of Policastro in 1079. This office was not to his temperament, and he resigned to return to Cava where he was appointed coadjutor abbot. His first effort at being abbot was troubled with difficulties as the monks found his rule too severe. He departed the house of Cava for a time, but then came back at the request of the monks, and distinguished himself with renewed leadership, care, and wisdom. Through him, Cava became the center of numerous and thriving Benedictine houses.
