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.

Upon being consecrated bishop of Cahors, Gaul (France), Florentius received a congratulatory letter from his friend, Saint Paulinus of Nola, who was later to become a bishop himself. Paulinus praises Florentius as a man of great humility and meekness, with the gentleness of a sheep and the innocence of a lamb, and imbued with "the sweetness of the Lord." In reference to Florentius' episcopal vocation, Paulinus observes that God had chosen him for "the role of his apostles" to "become a fisher of men," who would "with the net of the saving word, draw from the bitter, deep waves of this world a haul which God can invest with life rather than destruction."
